Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 11:1-13

We have here, I. The great security of the prince's of Jerusalem, notwithstanding the judgments of God that were upon them, The prophet was brought, in vision, to the gate of the temple where these princes sat in council upon the present arduous affairs of the city: The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the Lord's house, and behold twenty-five men were there. See how obsequious the prophet was to the Spirit's orders and how observant of all the discoveries that were made... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:2

Then said he unto me, son of man ,.... That is, the Lord, or, the Spirit of the Lord, that lifted him up: these are the men that devise mischief ; or "vanity" F4 און "vanitatem", Calvin, Vatablus, Junius & Tremellius; "vanum", Cocceius, Starckius. ; this is to be understood not of the two only that are named, though it may of them chiefly; but of all the twenty five, who formed schemes for the holding out of the siege, and for the security of the city, and of themselves in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:3

Which say it is not near, let us build houses ,.... Meaning that the destruction of the city was not near, as the prophet had foretold, Ezekiel 7:3 ; and therefore encourage the people to build houses, and rest themselves secure, as being safe from all danger, and having nothing to fear from the Chaldean army; and so putting away the evil day far from them, which was just at hand: though the words may be rendered, "it is not proper to build houses near" F5 לא בקרוב בנות בתים... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:3

It is not near - That is, the threatened invasion. This city is the caldron, and we be the flesh - See the vision of the seething pot, Jeremiah 1:13 . These infidels seem to say: "We will run all risks, we will abide in the city. Though it be the caldron, and we the flesh, yet we will share its fate: if it perish, we will perish with it." Or they may allude to the above prediction of Jeremiah, in order to ridicule it: "We were to have been boiled long ago: but the fulfillment of that... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:3

Verse 3 Here the Prophet explains what might be obscure through their perverseness. He brings forward, therefore, what the impious thought could be covered by many fallacies. For we know that hypocrites endeavor to fix their eyes on God, and when they scatter their own clouds before themselves, they think that he is blinded. For this reason Isaiah says, that God also is wise, (Isaiah 31:2,) and derides their cunning, since they think that they blind God’s eyes whilst they conceal their sins... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:1-13

The summary punishment of official guilt. As a rule, God is extremely patient towards human rebellion. He reproves and remonstrates and warns long before the executioner appears. Yet sometimes he departs from this course, by a summary act of vengeance. The penalty that follows some crimes is swift and sudden. The Chaldean nobles who laid an impious snare for Daniel were soon overtaken with judgment. When Herod accepted the profane flattery of his courtiers, he was soon consumed with inward... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:1-13

The presumptuous security of sinners exhibited and condemned. "Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's house," etc. I. THE PRESUMPTUOUS AND FALSE SECURITY OF SINNERS EXHIBITED . ( Ezekiel 11:1-3 .) The twenty-live men here mentioned are not the same as those mentioned in Ezekiel 8:16 ; for already they have been slain in vision. In both places the number is a round one. And in this place it is clear that they were leaders of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:2

Evil counsellors. Ezekiel was a true patriot; and it was accordingly to him matter of great distress that his countrymen were misled by ungodly and self-seeking counsellors and princes. "If gold rust, what shall iron do?" If those occupying positions of authority and eminence are unfaithful, what can be expected of the multitude who go as they are led? By whatever name they are called, and to whatever gifts or acquirements they owe their influence, there will always, in every state and in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:3

It is not near, etc. The words take their place among the popular, half-proverbial sayings of which we have other examples in Ezekiel 8:12 ; Ezekiel 9:9 ; and Ezekiel 18:2 . As in most proverbs of this kind, the thought is condensed to the very verge of obscurity, and the words have received very different interpretations. I find what suggests this view read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:3

The false confidence of unbelief. Jeremiah told the captives to settle in the land of exile and build houses there, because the Captivity was to last for generations ( Jeremiah 29:5 ). But the frivolous people have rejected that wise counsel, and they declare that such provision for exile is not necessary. "It is not time to build these houses the prophet spoke of," they say; "we will stay in the city, like the flesh in the cauldron." I. IMPENITENCE CREATES FALSE CONFIDENCE .... read more
