Ezequiel 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:5

And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me
In an extraordinary manner, and afresh, and enlightened his mind, and showed him things that should come to pass; and filled him with boldness and courage to declare them. The Targum interprets it of the spirit of prophecy: and said unto me, speak;
what I shall show and put into thy mouth, that speak out; be not afraid, but boldly declare all that I give thee in commission to say: thus saith the Lord, thus have ye said, O house of Israel;
as in ( Ezekiel 11:3 ) ; which perhaps was said in secret, and spoken privately, but known by the Lord; and it was not only the princes that said it, but the whole body of the people joined in with it, and agreed to it; though it is very probable they were influenced by the former: for I know the things that come into your mind, [everyone of] them;
not only their scoffing words, but the thoughts of their hearts; not one of them escaped the knowledge of God; the consideration of which should command an awe on men, and engage them to a watchfulness over their thoughts, words, and actions.

Ezequiel 11:5 In-Context

3 os quais dizem: Não está próximo o tempo de edificar casas; esta cidade é a caldeira, e nós somos a carne.

4 Portanto, profetiza contra eles; profetiza, ó filho do homem.

5 E caiu sobre mim o Espírito do Senhor, e disse-me: Fala: Assim diz o Senhor: Assim tendes dito, ó casa de Israel; pois eu conheço as coisas que vos entram na mente.

6 Multiplicastes os vossos mortos nesta cidade, e enchestes as suas ruas de mortos.

7 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Vossos mortos que deitastes no meio dela, esses são a carne, e ela é a caldeira; a vós, porém, vos tirarei do meio dela.
