Verse 4
Therefore prophesy against them ,.... Evil things against them, things that are disagreeable to them; since they flatter themselves with good things, and cry peace and safety, let them know that destruction is coming upon them: or, "concerning them" F6 עליהם "de eis", V. L. "super eos", Pagninus, Montanus. ; what will befall them, and that it will be otherwise with them than they imagine:
prophesy, O son of man ; this is repeated, not only to stir up the prophet to the performance of his work and office, not fearing the faces, and revilings, and mockings of men; but to show the indignation of the Lord at their scoffs and jeers, and the certain accomplishment of what should be predicted.
Be the first to react on this!
