Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 7:26

_ _ Mischief ... upon ... mischief — (Deuteronomy 32:23; Jeremiah 4:20). This is said because the Jews were apt to fancy, at every abatement of suffering, that their calamities were about to cease; but God will accumulate woe on woe.

_ _ rumour — of the advance of the foe, and of his cruelty (Matthew 24:6).

_ _ seek a vision — to find some way of escape from their difficulties (Isaiah 26:9). So Zedekiah consulted Jeremiah (Jeremiah 37:17; Jeremiah 38:14).

_ _ law shall perish — fulfilled (Ezekiel 20:1, Ezekiel 20:3; Psalms 74:9; Lamentations 2:9; compare Amos 8:11); God will thus set aside the idle boast, “The law shall not perish from the priest” (Jeremiah 18:18).

_ _ ancients — the ecclesiastical rulers of the people.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 7:23-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 7:26

Seek — But in vain. The priest — He shall have no words either of counsel or comfort to say to them. Ancients — Nor shall their senators know what to advise.
