Ezekiel 12:22
_ _ proverb — The infidel scoff, that the threatened judgment was so long in coming, it would not come at all, had by frequent repetition come to be a “proverb” with them. This skeptical habit contemporary prophets testify to (Jeremiah 17:15; Jeremiah 20:7; Zephaniah 1:12). Ezekiel, at the Chebar, thus sympathizes with Jeremiah and strengthens his testimony at Jerusalem. The tendency to the same scoff showed itself in earlier times, but had not then developed into a settled “proverb” (Isaiah 5:19; Amos 5:18). It shall again be the characteristic of the last times, when “faith” shall be regarded as an antiquated thing (Luke 18:8), seeing that it remains stationary, whereas worldly arts and sciences progress, and when the “continuance of all things from creation” will be the argument against the possibility of their being suddenly brought to a standstill by the coming of the Lord (Isaiah 66:5; 2 Peter 3:3, 2 Peter 3:4). The very long-suffering of God, which ought to lead men to repentance, is made an argument against His word (Ecclesiastes 8:11; Amos 6:3).
_ _ days ... prolonged ... vision faileth — their twofold argument: (1) The predictions shall not come to pass till long after our time. (2) They shall fail and prove vain shadows. God answers both in Ezekiel 12:23, Ezekiel 12:25. |
Ezekiel 12:22
That proverb — That short saying commonly used. Days — Of wrath and vengeance, are to come a great while hence. Every vision — Threatening vision, which Jeremiah and Ezekiel would fright us with, comes to nothing. |
Ezekiel 12:22
Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days (f) are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
(f) Because they did not immediately see the prophecies accomplished, they contemned them as though they would never be fulfilled. |
- what:
Ezekiel 18:2-3 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? ... [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Jeremiah 23:33-40 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD. ... And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
|
- The days:
Ezekiel 12:27 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 the times [that are] far off.
Ezekiel 11:3 Which say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this [city is] the caldron, and we [be] the flesh.
Isaiah 5:19 That say, Let him make speed, [and] hasten his work, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know [it]!
Jeremiah 5:12-13 They have belied the LORD, and said, [It is] not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: ... And the prophets shall become wind, and the word [is] not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Amos 6:3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
2 Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, ... And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
