Ezekiel 11:10-12

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 11:10

Ye shall fall by the sword ,.... Of the Chaldeans; not in the city of Jerusalem, but out of it, when it was broken up, and they fled: I will judge you in the border of Israel ; that is, inflict punishment on them, particularly by the sword; which was done at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where the sons of Zedekiah were slain, and all the princes of Judah, Jeremiah 52:9 ; and this was on the border of the land of Israel, Numbers 34:8 ; and ye shall know that I am the Lord ; who... read more

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

This city shall not be your cauldron ,.... It was one, as in Ezekiel 11:7 ; but not theirs; it was the cauldron for the slain, for the dead, but not the living: neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it ; or, "and ye shall be" F7 וא־תאם תהיו "et vos critis", Montanus, Cocceius. or, "but ye shall be"; the negative is understood, and rightly supplied by us; though the Targum renders it without it, "but ye shall be in the midst of it, as flesh that is boiled in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:12

And ye shall know that I am the Lord ,.... See Gill on Ezekiel 11:10 ; for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments ; which is the reason why the Lord would judge them on the border of Israel, and deliver them up into the hands of strangers; nor can he be thought to act the severe and cruel part to them, when this their disobedience is observed; since they had his statutes and his judgments made known to them, which were not known to other nations, and yet... read more

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

I will judge you in the border of Israel - Though Riblah was in Syria, yet it was on the very frontiers of Israel; and it was here that Zedekiah's sons were slain, and his own eyes put out. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:12

Verse 12 He repeats what he had said, that they would acknowledge too late how impiously and wickedly they had despised the prophecies: because this was to draw down God himself from heaven; for God wishes that reverence which he exacts from us to be given to his own word. Therefore men rage in contempt of his teaching, as if after the manner of giants they wished to draw God down from heaven. But he expresses the cause more clearly: because indeed they have not walked in his law and his... 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

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 11:8-11

Ezekiel 11:8-11. Ye have feared the sword Of the Chaldeans; and have, to avoid it, courted them, and left my worship to follow their idolatrous rites: but this very sword will I bring upon you. And I will deliver you into the hands of strangers Defeating all your projects for escape; and I will execute judgments among you By the hands of the Chaldeans, whom I will make the instruments of my just vengeance. I will judge you in the border of Israel Namely, in Riblah, just upon the... read more
