The charge and command is doubled, both to engage the prophet, and to intimate a doubled misery coming upon them, a misery they shall not have courage to laugh under, though they now dare contemptuously laugh at. <\/P> <\/p>\n 4. prophesy . . . prophesy<\/B>Therepetition marks emphatic earnestness.<\/P><\/p>\n Therefore prophesy against them<\/strong>,…. 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” f; what will befall them, and that it will be otherwise with them than they imagine:<\/p>\n prophesy, O son of man<\/strong>; 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.<\/p>\n f “de eis”, V. L. “super eos”, Pagninus, Montanus.<\/p>\n Yesterday we saw that the Jews scurrilously eluded the prophecies of Jeremiah, especially when he threatened them with God’s wrath. For he had said, that a vision was offered to him, in which Jerusalem was like a pot, and the fire lighted from the north. For a laughing-stock they said that they could rest safely within the city, because they were not yet cooked but raw, so that if that prophecy is true, said they, we shall not so quickly depart from the city. For God foretold that we should be the flesh which was about to be cooked: if this city is a caldron, we ought to remain here till we are cooked: but this has not happened. Hence what Jeremiah pronounces is vain, that we shall be dragged into exile, because these two things disagree, viz., God wishing us to rest in the city, and yet dragging us into a distant region. Since it is so, Jeremiah’s prophecy is vain; thus then they deceived themselves. But God commands another Prophet of his to rise up against them. And the repetition is emphatic, prophesy, prophesy against them For nothing is less tolerable than that men should petulantly spurn God’s anger, which ought to inspire all with fear. For if the mountains melt before him, (Isa 64:3<\/span>,) if angels themselves tremble, (Job 4:18<\/span>,) how comes it that the vessel of clay dares to conflict with its maker? (Isa 45:9<\/span>.) And we see also how God grows angry against such perverseness; especially when he denounces, by the mouth of Isaiah, that this sin would be unpardonable. I have called you, said he, to ashes and mourning: but, on the other hand, ye have said, Let us eat and drink, and ye have turned my threats into a laughing-stock. For this was your proverb, to-morrow we shall die: as I live, your iniquity shall not go unpunished. God affirms by an oath, that he would never be appeased by the impious and profane despisers of his judgments. For this reason also he now repeats again, prophesy, prophesy. Let us go on — <\/p>\n ‘Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy O son of man.’<\/p>\n Ezekiel is to raise his voice against these presumptious ideas for they were the evidence of a complacency not justified by the facts. Judah and Israel were still not repentant over their sinfulness, and until they were there could be no restoration. Note that the command to prophesy is given twice for emphasis. There is need for his words.<\/p>\n Eze 11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.<\/p>\n Ver. 4. Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy.<\/strong> ] Urger et repetit, ne cunctetur.<\/em> Out of greatest indignation against these pests, he pricketh him on to prophesy, as having vengeance “in a readiness for the disobedient.” 2Co 10:6 Mockers shall be sure to have their “bands increased.” Isa 28:22 <\/p>\n prophesy . . . prophesy. Figure of speech Epizeuxis (App-6), for emphasis. <\/p>\n Eze 3:2-15, Eze 3:17-21, Eze 20:46, Eze 20:47, Eze 21:2, Eze 25:2, Isa 58:1, Hos 6:5, Hos 8:1<\/p>\n Eze 11:4, Ezekiel was told to prophesy against these evil men and tlieir claims.<\/p>\n Eze 11:4-5. Therefore prophesy against them Declare to them how different things shall happen to them from what they expect. And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me See note on Eze 3:24. And said unto me, Speak; Thus have ye said Ye have advanced the assertion, mentioned Eze 11:3. You have rightly said what you say: the city is the caldron, and we are the flesh, shall be fulfilled, but not as you understand it. Many of you will perish in the city. For those it will be the caldron, and they will be flesh boiled in it. But yourselves shall not be the flesh in the caldron: but you shall be taken out and elsewhere cut in pieces. Michaelis in Newcome. For I know the things that come into your mind <\/p>\n Here God declares that, however much these men thought, and said in their hearts, The Lord seeth us not, yet still he not only saw them, but knew the things that came into their mind, every one of them, and took particular notice of that vain confidence with which they supported themselves, and endeavoured to put a good face upon a matter which they could not but know to be bad. Remember, reader, God perfectly knows not only the things that come out of our mouths, but the things that come into our minds; not only all we say, but all we think; even those thoughts which are most suddenly darted into our minds, and as suddenly slip out of them again, are perfectly known and narrowly observed by God: he knows us infinitely better than we know ourselves; he understands us afar off: the consideration whereof should oblige us to keep our hearts with all diligence, that no vain thoughts may come into them, or lodge within them.<\/p>\n Ezekiel was to prophesy against these leaders. The Spirit came upon him and instructed him to tell them that the Lord knew what they were thinking (cf. Eze 2:2; Eze 3:24; Eze 13:1-3; 2Pe 1:21). God always knows what His people are thinking (cf. Psa 139:1-6; Dan 2:30; Act 1:24). In this case their thinking was in rebellion against what He, through Jeremiah, had told them to do. Furthermore, they had slain many innocent people in Jerusalem by perverting justice and taking advantage of the weak.<\/p>\n Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man. 4.
