Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:26

"Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord Jehovah."ANOTHER FALSE PROVERB REFUTEDAlthough the problem created by this false proverb was very similar to the one addressed in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 12:1

Ezekiel 12:1. The word of the Lord also came, &c.— This happened in the sixth year of Zedekiah, and five years before the siege of Jerusalem. The prophesies in the following chapters to the 20th are of the same year. The prophet here applies himself to those of the captivity among whom he dwelt: they saw Jerusalem still inhabited, and under the government of its own king; so that they who were left in the land of Canaan, insulted the exiles, who repined at their own situation; thinking... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 12:3

Ezekiel 12:3. Prepare thee stuff for removing— See the note on chap. Ezekiel 4:1. This command is merely an information by action, instead of words, foretelling the approaching captivity of Zedekiah. Dr. Waterland observes, that he sees no reason for thinking that the prophet might not really perform all here related, and more, without difficulty, or forfeiting either his discretion or gravity. The manner and circumstances of the whole narrative, as it stands in the prophet, being very... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 12:9

Ezekiel 12:9. Son of man, &c.— Son of man, the house of Israel, this rebellious house, hath thus inquired of thee, What is this that thou doest? Houbigant; who, instead of the prince in Jerusalem, in the next verse, reads, the prince, and Jerusalem. read more

Ezekiel 12:12. Shall bear upon his shoulder— Shall be carried upon shoulders, &c. They shall dig through the wall, and he shall go out thereby. Houbigant. Or rather, He shall dig. ο . Ar. Syr. For the fact, see Jeremiah 39:4; Jeremiah 52:7. 2 Kings 25:4. It is probable, that the king and his companions fled through a breach made by themselves in the wall. Or, as Michaelis suggests, the gate through which they fled may have been walled up during the siege. read more

Ezekiel 12:13. My net also— "Though Zedekiah flatters himself with escaping the Chaldean army, yet he shall find himself fatally mistaken; for I will bring his enemies upon him, who shall encompass him, and stop his flight, as when a wild beast is entangled in a net." See Jeremiah 37:0; Jeremiah 38:0; and Jeremiah 52:10-11. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 12:21-23

Ezekiel 12:21-23. And the word, &c.— The latter part of the 22nd verse is spoken in the person of infidels, who turn the grace of God into wantonness, taking encouragement from his patience and long-suffering to despise his threatenings, as if they never would be fulfilled; and to deride his prophets, as if they had prophesied in vain. Both parts of this objection are obviated in the 23rd and 24th verses. See Waterland's Script. Vind. p. 98. Houbigant reads the clause in the 22nd verse in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 12:1

1, 2. eyes to see, and see not, . . . ears to hear, and hear not—fulfilling the prophecy of :-, here quoted by Ezekiel (compare Isaiah 6:9; Jeremiah 5:21). Ezekiel needed often to be reminded of the people's perversity, lest he should be discouraged by the little effect produced by his prophecies. Their "not seeing" is the result of perversity, not incapacity. They are wilfully blind. The persons most interested in this prophecy were those dwelling at Jerusalem; and it is among them that... read more
