The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 13:11-16

Untempered mortar. The teaching of the false prophets of peace is here compared to a wall built of untempered mortar, which is overthrown in a tern pest. I.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 13:14

14. The repetition of the same threat (see on Ezekiel 13:1) is to awaken the people out of their dream of safety by the certainty of the event. foundation—As the "wall" represents the security of the nation, so the "foundation" is Jerusalem, on the fortifications of which they rested their confidence.
