12<\/strong>. Confusion of the false prophets.<\/p>\n Will not men thenceforth laugh you to scorn? you that built, you that daubed, you that applauded the wall, will they not upbraid you with your folly? <\/P> <\/p>\n 12. shall it not be said<\/B>Yourvanity and folly shall be so manifested that it shall pass into aproverb, “Where is the daubing?”<\/P><\/p>\n Lo, when the wall is fallen<\/strong>,…. Jerusalem is taken:<\/p>\n shall it not be said unto you<\/strong>; the false prophets, by the people who had been deceived by them:<\/p>\n where [is] the daubing wherewith ye have daubed [it]<\/strong>? what is become of all your promises of peace, and assurance of safety and prosperity; your smooth words and plausible arguments; your specious pretences, and flattering prophecies? thus would they be insulted by those they had deceived, as well as laughed at by such who disregarded their predictions, and believed the prophets of the Lord.<\/p>\n He confirms the last sentence, namely, that the false prophets would be a laughing-stock to all when their prophecies and divinations came to nothing, for the event would show them to be liars. For when the city was taken it sufficiently appeared that they were the devil’s ministers of deceit, for they were trained in wickedness and boldness when they put forth the name of God. Now the Prophet teaches that a common proverb would arise when the wall fell; for by saying, shall it not be said to them, he signifies that their folly and vanity would be completely exposed, so that this proverb should be everywhere current — where is the daubing with which you daubed it? It follows — <\/p>\n (12) Where is the daubing?<\/strong>The basis of all their false prophesying being destroyed by the coming judgments, the folly and falsehood of their words would be exposed to the eyes of all. As it is said in Eze. 13:14<\/span>, the wall itself being thrown down to its very foundation, they who have tried to make the people trust in it shall be overwhelmed in its ruin.<\/p>\n 12<\/strong>. <\/strong> Where is the daubing <\/strong> Without God and holiness the defenses of the city are rotten, and the prophet’s work is but the veneer which shall make the wreck more conspicuous. Many a weak place may be hidden from men’s eyes by the prophet’s brush, but when God blows against it with his mighty wind there is no daubing of cracks that can save it.<\/p>\n “Lo, when the wall is fallen will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you whitewashed it?’ ”<\/p>\n The prophets should consider what will happen when their prophecies prove false. When the storm washes away the whitewash, and causes the collapse of the wall, what will they say then when they are questioned about it, as they certainly will be?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Eze 13:12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where [is] the daubing wherewith ye have daubed [it]?<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 12. Lo, when the wall is fallen.<\/strong> ] As fall it will, and with a force, because made of ill mortar; and they that stand under it for shelter shall perish, as did sometimes seven and twenty thousand of Benhadad’s men in Aphek. Vocat autem eloquentiara secularem et rhetoricam inanem, lutum sine palea, &c., <\/em> saith Oecolampadius here – i.e., <\/em> by untempered mortar is meant worldly eloquence and empty rhetoric in sermons; this is as sand without lime, or as lime without litter, hair, chaff, or the like stuff to hold it together. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Where is the daubing?<\/strong> ] What is your false doctrine come to? your work is lost, if not your souls. 1Co 3:15 <\/p>\n Where: Deu 32:37, Jdg 9:38, Jdg 10:14, 2Ki 3:13, Jer 2:28, Jer 29:31, Jer 29:32, Jer 37:19, Lam 2:14, Lam 2:15 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jer 28:16 – because Zec 13:2 – cause Mal 2:9 – before<\/p>\n Eze 13:12. A flimsy covering over a wall might look as well as the best, but when the wail collapses the deceptive nature of tbe plaster will be exposed.<\/p>\n When the walls, or the picture of the future that the false prophets had painted, had collapsed, the people would ask a question. They would question the materials out of which they constructed the wall, either the literal wall or the wall of false speculation. It had proved inadequate and unreliable.<\/p>\n "An attractive external appearance is no substitute for intrinsic soundness." [Note: Block, The Book . . ., p. 408.] <\/span><\/p>\n Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where [is] the daubing wherewith ye have daubed [it]? 12.
