Ezequiel 13:2

2 Filho do homem, profetiza contra os profetas de Israel e dize a esses videntes que só profetizam o que vê o seu coração: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor.

Ezequiel 13:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:2

Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel
Who called themselves so, and were accounted such by others; though they were not true, but false prophets; and so the Targum calls them: that prophesy;
that is, smooth things to the people; promising a speedy return from the captivity; or that Jerusalem should not be taken by the Chaldeans, and the inhabitants of it, and of the land, be carried captive: and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts;
who were not sent of God, nor spake from him; but of themselves, what came into their heads, and was agreeable to their fancies, imaginations, and carnal hearts; such are false teachers, that go forth without being sent, and teach not according to the word of God, but according to their own carnal reasonings; so the Targum,

``according to the will of their hearts;''

what they pleased themselves: hear ye the word of the Lord;
which came from the Lord himself, and not from man, meaning the following prophecy; so the written word of God should be attended to, both by teachers and hearers, as the only rule of faith and practice; see ( Isaiah 8:20 ) .

Ezequiel 13:2 In-Context

1 E veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

2 Filho do homem, profetiza contra os profetas de Israel e dize a esses videntes que só profetizam o que vê o seu coração: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor.

3 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Ai dos profetas insensatos, que seguem o seu próprio

4 Os teus profetas, ó Israel, têm sido como raposas nos desertos.

5 Não subistes �s brechas, nem fizestes uma cerca para a casa de Israel, para que permaneça firme na peleja no dia do Senhor.
