Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 3:10

This verse is a repetition of the charge given to the prophet, to deal faithfully and undauntedly in the delivering his message, to deliver always what God should speak, to speak nothing else, and to speak all that. These repetitions in the abundance of the same words, are from the usage and custom of the people of those countries in which the Jews were now captive. Receive in thine heart: this explains the visionary eating, of which Ezekiel 3:3. Hearing is first, and receiving into the heart... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 3:4-15

(3.) RATIFICATIONS OF THE COMMISSION (Chap. Ezekiel 3:4-15)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 3:5-6. “Of a strange speech and of an hard language.” The marginal reading, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, indicates that nothing is referred to here about the characteristics of national languages. It is the obscurity and embarrassment of a foreign speech, to a man who cannot employ them, which are brought to view. Ezekiel is to speak no tongue but that of Israel. His sphere is definite and contracted. He... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-27

Chapter 3Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that which you find; eat this scroll, and then go and speak to the house of Israel ( Ezekiel 3:1 ).In other words, devour it and then go give it forth. You see, that's really what the ministry is all about. You devour the Word of God and then you give it forth to the people, where it is now a part of you. You read and absorb the Word until it becomes a part of your very life, and then you give it out unto others.So I opened my mouth, he caused... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 3:1-27

Ezekiel 3:3 . The roll was in my mouth as honey. To taste the good word of God is pleasant; but it was bitter in the belly with regard to imprisonment and martyrdom. Revelation 10:9. No matter; the sweetness is ultimately superior to the gall. See Ezekiel 3:25. Ezekiel 3:9 . As an adamant, harder than flint. See on Zechariah 7:12. Ezekiel 3:12 . Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place. When the ark moved the levites sung, “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered.” Psalms... read more

Ezekiel 3:9As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead.The adamant(Zechariah 7:12):--A great and good man who served and suffered for Christ in North Africa seventeen centuries ago won for himself a noble name by which he is still known, Origen the Adamantine. There isn’t a boy nor, in her own quiet way, a girl who does not feel some glow of heart or flush of face at the magic of this name, “the Unsubduable,” “the Invincible.” But he was not the first who bore the name. It was... read more

Ezekiel 3:10All My words . . . receive in thine heart.The heart the treasury of truthWhat is in the head may soon be lost, but what is in the heart abides. Books locked up in the closet are safe, and truths laid up in the heart are secure (James 1:21). They must first put out of their hearts filthiness, malice, wrath, whatever had possession of the heart, and kept out the Word, and open their hearts to entertain the Word. The heart is the ground this seed will grow in. David knew this, and... read more
