Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 13:5

_ _ not gone up into ... gaps — metaphor from breaches made in a wall, to which the defenders ought to betake themselves in order to repel the entrance of the foe. The breach is that made in the theocracy through the nation’s sin; and, unless it be made up, the vengeance of God will break in through it. Those who would advise the people to repentance are the restorers of the breach (Ezekiel 22:30; Psalms 106:23, Psalms 106:30).

_ _ hedge — the law of God (Psalms 80:12; Isaiah 5:2, Isaiah 5:5); by violating it, the people stripped themselves of the fence of God’s protection and lay exposed to the foe. The false prophets did not try to repair the evil by bringing back the people to the law with good counsels, or by checking the bad with reproofs. These two duties answer to the double office of defenders in case of a breach made in a wall: (1) To repair the breach from within; (2) To oppose the foe from without.

_ _ to stand — that is, that the city may “stand.”

_ _ in ... day of ... Lord — In the day of the battle which God wages against Israel for their sins, ye do not try to stay God’s vengeance by prayers, and by leading the nation to repentance.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 13:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 13:5

Ye — Vain prophets. Gone up — As in a besieged city, whose wall is broken down, a valiant soldier would run up into the breach to repel the enemy; so true prophets partly by prayer, and partly by doctrine, labour to preserve God's people. Hedge — The house of Israel is the Lord's vineyard, through the hedge whereof many breaches are made. To stand — Not with arms, but with fasting, prayer, and repentance.

Ezekiel 13:5

(c) Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
