Ezekiel 13:19
_ _ handfuls — expressing the paltry gain for which they bartered immortal souls (compare Micah 3:5, Micah 3:11; Hebrews 12:16). They “polluted” God by making His name the cloak under which they uttered falsehoods.
_ _ among my people — an aggravation of their sin, that they committed it “among the people” whom God had chosen as peculiarly His own, and among whom He had His temple. It would have been a sin to have done so even among the Gentiles, who knew not God; much more so among the people of God (compare Proverbs 28:21).
_ _ slay ... souls that should not die, etc. — to predict the slaying or perdition of the godly whom I will save. As true ministers are said to save and slay their hearers, according to the spirit respectively in which these receive their message (2 Corinthians 2:15, 2 Corinthians 2:16), so false ministers imitate them; but they promise safety to those on the broad way to ruin and predict ruin to those on the narrow way of God.
_ _ my people that hear your lies — who are therefore willfully deceived, so that their guilt lies at their own door (John 3:19). |
Ezekiel 13:19
Pollute me — Pretending my name for what I never spake. My people — My own people. Handfuls of barley — For a mean reward. To slay — You denounce evil to the best, whom God wilt keep alive. To save — Declaring safety, to the worst, whom God will destroy. |
Ezekiel 13:19
And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of (k) barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and (l) to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies?
(k) Will you make my word serve your bellies?
(l) These sorcerers made the people believe that they could preserve life or destroy it and that it would come to everyone according as they prophesied. |
- pollute:
Ezekiel 20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
Ezekiel 22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

2 Peter 2:2-3 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. ... And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

- to slay:

Jeremiah 23:17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
