James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-28

DISTRIBUTING THE RESPONSIBILITY While these visions and prophecies may be new as to the particular occasions for them, yet they are in substance the same as the preceding. “THE PRINCE IN JERUSALEM” (Ezekiel 12:1-16 ) In chapter 10 we had a vision of the judgment upon the city of Jerusalem, in chapter 11, upon the princes, and in this upon the king himself (v. 10). The explanation of the action commanded the prophet in Ezekiel 12:1-7 is given in Ezekiel 12:8-16 . It is thought that this was... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 12:1-28

Ezekiel's Vision Ezekiel 12:0 Ezekiel will speak nothing in his own name. He does not guarantee one word of what he speaks by his own authority. The wondrous imagery is not the birth of his fancy, it is something which his soul's eyes have seen. Ezekiel makes no sermons, he simply tells what he has heard. It was his business to deliver messages, not to make them. When he is incoherent, he makes no apology; when we cannot follow him, he cannot help it; when he is apparently mad, he does not... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 12:21-25

Here is a third sermon of the Prophet; and it is to the same purport as the former. It should seem, that it was become almost proverbial, if judgments did not immediately follow the commission of sin, the sinner took confidence, and said, the days are prolonged, and every vision faileth. Solomon had remarked, much to the same purpose, long before. Ecclesiastes 8:11 . But the Lord here reproves the presumptuous thought. One of the Apostles had it in commission to tell the sinner, in yet more... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:21-28

21-28 From that forbearance of God, which should have led them to repent, the Jews hardened themselves in sin. It will not serve for an excuse in speaking evil, to plead that it is a common saying. There is but a step between us and an awful eternity; therefore it concerns us to get ready for a future state. No one will be able to put from himself the evil day, unless by seeking peace with the Lord. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 12:17-28

The Sign of Bread and Water v. 17. Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, v. 18. Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness, his entire bearing, as he partook of his scanty meal, of the barest necessaries of life, being one of anxiety in the presence of an impending calamity; v. 19. and say unto the people of the land, the Jews among the captives of Chaldea, Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem and of the... read more

2. The Signs (Ezekiel 12:1-20)1. The Sign of the King’s Departure (Ezekiel 12:1-16)1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the house of rebelliousness, who have eyes to see, and they see not; and they have ears to hear, and they hear not: for they are an house of 3rebelliousness. And thou, son of man, make thee [therefore make thee, thou son of man] baggage of the emigrant, and remove by day before their eyes. And thou shalt remove from thy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 12:1-28

The prophet was next commanded to act in the sight of the people as an exile going forth from his country, preparing "stuff for removing," and carrying it forth from place to place. He obeyed the command, and its intention was fulfilled when the people inquired what he meant. In response, he foretold the capture of the people and the princes in Jerusalem, and their being taken to Babylon, declaring that the prince (Zedekiah) would be taken captive to Babylon, but that he would not see it.... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 12:25

THE LORD IS NOT SLACK‘I am the Lord; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred.’ Ezekiel 12:25 (R.V.) I. In various ways the people of Israel were endeavouring to minimise the effects of Ezekiel’s denunciations of judgment.—They did not deny that he spoke the Word of God, but comforted themselves with the reflection that it was not likely to be fulfilled for some time yet. ‘The vision that he seeth is for many days to come.’ God, on the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:24-25

“For there will no more be any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. For I am Yahweh. I will speak, and the word I speak will be performed. It will not be deferred any longer. For in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word and will perform it, says the Lord Yahweh.” The great problem for Israel was that of conflicting voices. There were the prophets who prophesied peace and security, words pleasing to men’s ears (Jeremiah 28:2-4; Jeremiah 28:11). And... read more
