Hesekiel 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:4

Therefore prophesy against them
Evil things against them, things that are disagreeable to them; since they flatter themselves with good things, and cry peace and safety, let them know that destruction is coming upon them: or, "concerning them" F6; what will befall them, and that it will be otherwise with them than they imagine: prophesy, O son of man;
this is repeated, not only to stir up the prophet to the performance of his work and office, not fearing the faces, and revilings, and mockings of men; but to show the indignation of the Lord at their scoffs and jeers, and the certain accomplishment of what should be predicted.

Hesekiel 11:4 In-Context

2 Und er sprach zu mir: Menschenkind, diese Leute haben unselige Gedanken und schädliche Ratschläge in dieser Stadt;
3 denn sie sprechen: "Es ist nicht so nahe; laßt uns nur Häuser bauen! Sie ist der Topf, so sind wir das Fleisch."
4 Darum sollst du, Menschenkind, wider sie weissagen.
5 Und der Geist des HERRN fiel auf mich, und er sprach zu mir: Sprich: So sagt der HERR: Ich habe also geredet, ihr vom Hause Israel; und eures Geistes Gedanken kenne ich wohl.
6 Ihr habt viele erschlagen in dieser Stadt, und ihre Gassen liegen voll Toter.
