以西结书 13:22 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 13:17-23

As God has promised that when he pours out his Spirit upon his people both their sons and their daughters shall prophesy, so the devil, when he acts as a spirit of lies and falsehood, is so in the mouth not only of false prophets, but of false prophetesses too, and those are the deceivers whom the prophet is here directed to prophesy against; for they are not such despicable enemies to God's truths as deserve not to be taken notice of, nor yet will either the weakness of their sex excuse their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 13:22

Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad ,.... By polluting the name of the Lord; by hunting and decoying souls into their destructive nets; and by threatening such who would not give heed to their superstitious rites, lying divinations, and false prophecies: so false teachers make the hearts of such sad, who, having seen the insufficiency of their own righteousness, trust in the righteousness of Christ, and are justified by it; by teaching such doctrines as depreciate... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:22

With lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad - Here is the ministry of these false prophetesses, and its effects. They told lies: they would speak, and they had no truth to tell; and therefore spoke falsities. They "saddened the souls of the righteous, and strengthened the hands of the wicked." They promised them life, and prevented them from repenting and turning from their sins. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:22

Verse 22 He explains in other words what we saw yesterday: but the repetition adds to the weight of the matter. The Prophet therefore shows that he had a just cause of complaint, because the women so deceived the people. He says now that they made the heart of the righteous sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked: the sentiment is the same, though the words are changed. He had previously said that they gave life to those devoted to death, and slew those destined to life; but now he shows... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 13:17-23

False prophetesses. Women have always played an important part in the religious history of every nation, sometimes for good, sometimes for evil. The Scriptures, with their proverbial impartiality, record instances of both kinds—of women who rendered signal service to their people by their fidelity to God, and of women who used their influence to corrupt and to mislead those over whom their power extended. Of the prophetesses whose pretensions are exposed in this passage we know nothing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 13:17-23

Effeminate religion. Moral evil is sadly contagious. The boastful, arrogant temper of the false prophets spread to the women also. It was a time of great excitement—a national crisis, in which all political considerations were intermingled with religion. Amid the general panic of fear, women as well as men were stirred to action. The party who sought God and desired to know his will were a small minority. The major part of the people, both men and women, were carried away by a spirit of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 13:17-23

False prophetesses, their characteristics and condemnation, "Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people," etc. God sometimes raised up and inspired women to be prophetesses to his people. Miriam ( Exodus 15:20 ), Deborah ( 4:4 ), Hannah ( 1 Samuel 2:1-10 ), and Huldah ( 2 Kings 22:14-20 ) were genuine prophetesses of the Lord in the times of the Old Testament. And in the time of Ezekiel there were false prophetesses—women who pretended to possess... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 13:22

Because with lies , etc. What specially stirred Ezekiel's indignation was taut the false prophetesses saddened the hearts of the righteous (of those who looked to him and Jeremiah for guidance) with prophecies of evil and deluded the evil door by false hopes, so that he should not turn from his evil way and live. For by promising him life, read, with the LXX ; Vulgate, and Luther and the Revised Version, that he should live, as he would do, if he turned from his wickedness ( Ezekiel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 13:22

Misplaced sorrow. We have here set before us the twofold mischief of the false preaching of peace. The righteous are made needlessly sad, and the wicked are spared the sorrows which they need to drive them from their evil ways, and are thus confirmed in their wickedness. I. FALSE IDEAS IN RELIGION BRING NEEDLESS SORROW TO GOOD PEOPLE . One particular aspect of this mischief is here brought before us—that of the triumph of sin and the prospect of its immunity,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 13:17-23

A rebuke to the false prophetesses, and a declaration that God will confound them, and deliver their victims from their snares. Women were sometimes inspired by the true God, as were Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, and Huldah; but an order of prophetesses was unknown among the people of God, and the existence of such a class in the last days of the kings of Judah was a fresh instance of declension into pagan usages.Ezekiel 13:18-21. Render thus: “Woe to the women that” put charms on every... read more
