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 11:4

Therefore prophesy against them ,.... Evil things against them, things that are disagreeable to them; since they flatter themselves with good things, and cry peace and safety, let them know that destruction is coming upon them: or, "concerning them" F6 עליהם "de eis", V. L. "super eos", Pagninus, Montanus. ; what will befall them, and that it will be otherwise with them than they imagine: prophesy, O son of man ; this is repeated, not only to stir up the prophet to the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:4

Verse 4 Yesterday we saw that the Jews scurrilously eluded the prophecies of Jeremiah, especially when he threatened them with God’s wrath. For he had said, that a vision was offered to him, in which Jerusalem was like a pot, and the fire lighted from the north. For a laughing-stock they said that they could rest safely within the city, because they were not yet cooked but raw, so that if that prophecy is true, said they, we shall not so quickly depart from the city. For God foretold that we... 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 11:4-5

The prophet still, we must remember, in his vision, is bidden to do his work as a true prophet, and to rebuke the defiant speech which he had heard. As in Ezekiel 2:2 , the Spirit of Jehovah comes upon him, and throws him into the prophetic ecstasy. It is noticeable that here, as in Ezekiel 2:3 , his message is not to Judah only, but to the whole house of Israel as represented by those to whom he spoke. I know the things . This, as ever, was one of the notes of a true prophet, that he... read more

Ezekiel 11:4-5. Therefore prophesy against them Declare to them how different things shall happen to them from what they expect. And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me See note on Ezekiel 3:24. And said unto me, Speak; Thus have ye said Ye have advanced the assertion, mentioned Ezekiel 11:3. “You have rightly said what you say: the city is the caldron, and we are the flesh, shall be fulfilled, but not as you understand it.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:1-13

Judgment on Jerusalem’s leaders (11:1-13)At the east gate of the temple, where God’s chariot-throne had temporarily stopped (see 10:19), Ezekiel saw in vision a group of twenty-five of the city’s political leaders. The wrong advice of these men was one reason why Jerusalem was heading for certain ruin (11:1-2). (At the time of this vision, the last great siege of Jerusalem, foretold in earlier chapters, had not yet happened.)Jeremiah had been telling the people that to fight against Babylon was... read more
