Ezekiel 11:8-13 NIV

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 11:8

Ye have feared the sword ,.... Of the Chaldeans; and therefore they sent to the Egyptians for help. The Targum is, "ye have been afraid of them that kill with the sword;' and not afraid of the Lord; see Matthew 10:28 ; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God ; or those that kill with the sword, as the Targum; meaning the Chaldeans, who were sent by the Lord, and, when they took the city, put many to death by the sword, and carried captive others. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:9

And I will bring you out of the midst thereof ,.... Jerusalem, the cauldron, as they said it was, and where they thought they should be safe; this is repeated, to express the certainty of it, and to excite their attention to it, and remove their vain confidence: and deliver you into the hands of strangers ; the Chaldeans: and will execute judgments among you ; punishments for sin, such as famine, pestilence, sword, and captivity. 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:13

And it came to pass when I prophesied ,.... Or, "as I prophesied" F9 כהנבאי "me prophetante", Junius & Tremellius, Polanus. ; that is, while he was prophesying, or declaring the above things from the mouth of the Lord, concerning the slaughter of the Jews by the sword, and the captivity of the rest: that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died ; one of the princes of the people, and was among the five and twenty men the prophet saw at the door of the east gate of the temple, ... read more
