Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 14:9

_ _ I the Lord have deceived that prophet — not directly, but through Satan and his ministers; not merely permissively, but by overruling their evil to serve the purposes of His righteous judgment, to be a touchstone to separate the precious from the vile, and to “prove” His people (Deuteronomy 13:3; 1 Kings 22:23; Jeremiah 4:10; 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 2 Thessalonians 2:12). Evil comes not from God, though God overrules it to serve His will (Job 12:16; James 1:3). This declaration of God is intended to answer their objection, “Jeremiah and Ezekiel are but two opposed to the many prophets who announce ‘peace’ to us.” “Nay, deceive not yourselves, those prophets of yours are deluding you, and I permit them to do so as a righteous judgment on your willful blindness.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 14:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 14:9

The prophet — The false prophet, who speaks all serene, and quiet, in hope of reward. Have deceived — Permitted him to err, or justly left him in his blindness.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 14:9

And if the prophet be (f) deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

(f) The prophet declares that God for man's ingratitude raises up false prophets to seduce them that delight in lies rather than in the truth of God, and thus he punishes sin with sin, (1 Kings 22:20, 1 Kings 22:22) and destroys those prophets as well as the people.
