Ezekiel 13:20
_ _ I am against your pillows — that is, against your lying ceremonial tricks by which ye cheat the people.
_ _ to make them fly — namely, into their snares, as fowlers disturb birds so as to be suddenly caught in the net spread for them. “Fly” is peculiarly appropriate as to those lofty spiritual flights to which they pretended to raise their dupes when they veiled their heads with kerchiefs and made them rest on luxurious arm-cushions (Ezekiel 13:18).
_ _ let ... souls go — “Ye make them fly” in order to destroy them; “I will let them go” in order to save them (Psalms 91:3; Proverbs 6:5; Hosea 9:8). |
Ezekiel 13:20
There — At Jerusalem. Grow — You promise a flourishing, growing, state to all enquirers; and this is the net with which you hunt souls. Tear them — With violence, and suddenness. |
Ezekiel 13:20
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your [magic] charms, with which ye there hunt the (m) souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.
(m) That is, to cause them to perish, and that they should depart from the body. |
- I am:
Ezekiel 13:8-9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD. ... And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 13:15-16 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [morter], and will say unto you, The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it; ... [To wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
|
- to make them fly:
- or, into gardens
|
- and will:
2 Timothy 3:8-9 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. ... But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.
