Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 13:1-23

2. The Discourses against the False Prophets and Prophetesses (Ezekiel 13:0.)1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, prophesy unto the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say unto the prophets out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah; 3Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the foolish prophets, who walk after their own spirit, and that they 4have not seen! Like foxes in the ruins have thy prophets become, O Israel. 5Ye have not gone up into the gaps [breaches],... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 13:1-23

The next movement in the prophesying was a denunciation of false prophets and prophetesses. The prophets were not inspired by the Spirit of God, but followed their own spirit. In so doing they had, like foxes, destroyed the very fences of the vineyard of God instead of restoring and strengthening them. They had spoken in the name of the Lord without His authority. In the place of divine inspiration had been the divination of wickedness. Because of this, Jehovah was against them, and they would... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:4-5

“O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places (ruins). You have not gone up into the gaps, nor made up the fence for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.” The picture is a vivid one of foxes running around in the ruins of a city. They build their dens in the ruins, and forage and scavenge, but they do nothing about the state of the city. So it is with these prophets. They have ignored the gaps in the understanding of the people, and have not built... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:6

“They have seen vanity and lying divination who say, ‘the oracle of Yahweh’, and Yahweh has not sent them. And they have made men hope that the word would be confirmed.” The false prophets have given people false hope with false visions and lying divination. The word for ‘divination’ is regularly used in a bad sense of using false means to obtain ‘divine’ guidance (Ezekiel 21:21-22; 2 Kings 17:7; Jeremiah 14:14; Numbers 22:7; Numbers 23:23; Deuteronomy 18:10; 1 Samuel 15:23), usually through... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:1-7

Ezekiel 13. Denunciation of the False Prophets ( Ezekiel 13:1-Nehemiah : ) and Prophetesses ( Ezekiel 13:17-Isaiah : ).— Besides the delay of the doom which Ezekiel threatened, the people were deluded by the welcome and reassuring promises of the false prophets, of whose temper and methods this chapter draws a very living picture. Ezekiel 13:1-Judges : . The false prophets were jingoes, with no real inspiration, courage, or insight into the moral quality of the political situation. Some of... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 13:4

O Israel; a pathetical exclamation to awake Israel, both the dwellers at Jerusalem and those at Babylon. Thy prophets, not mine, as Ezekiel 13:2. Like the foxes; hungry and ravening, crafty and guileful, and living by their wits, but not one whit helpful to those they deceive. Such are false prophets. In the deserts, where want of prey makes them more eager of their prey, and where other devouring beasts endanger travellers, but no defence to them from foxes; these flee into their holes... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 13:5

Ye, vulpine prophets. As in a besieged city whose wall is broken down and the enemy ready to enter, a valiant, faithful, and vigilant soldier would run up into the breach to repel the enemy; so true prophets do partly by prayer, and partly by doctrine, and partly by personal reformation, labour to preserve God’s people. But, fox-like, they have shifted out of harm’s way. Neither made up the hedge: the house of Israel is the Lord’s vineyard, through the hedge whereof many breaches are made,... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 13:6

They have seen; they pretend to have seen, but still they see nothing, as Ezekiel 13:2. The prophet speaks as if indeed they had seen, but the very censure of the things they said they saw clears it, that all was but pretence. Vanity and lying divination; things that have no ground or foundation, and which will never be, and are therefore called vanity and lying divinations. The Lord saith; foretelleth and promiseth. Hath not sent them; never revealed any such thing to them, or bade them tell... read more

(4.) OF FALSE PROPHETS AND PROPHETESSES (Chap. 13)Condemnation of the Prophets (Ezekiel 13:1-16)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—The declaration in Ezekiel 12:24 was that unsubstantiated and delusive prophecy should cease by the fulfilment of the true, and in this chapter a description and denunciation of the former are given. The men and women who had taken upon themselves to announce “salvation without repentance, grace without judgment,” were found both in Judea and among the captive Jews. The utterance of... read more

Chapter 13The word of the LORD came unto me saying, Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say unto them that prophesy is out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! ( Ezekiel 13:1-3 )They're following their own imaginations; they have really seen nothing from God. They are proclaiming their own visions, their own ideas.O Israel, your prophets... read more
