Ezequiel 14:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 14:10

And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity
Both the false prophet, and those that sought unto him, and were deceived by him; and which being laid according to the strictness of divine justice, is intolerable: sad is the case when a man is obliged to bear his own sins, and the punishment of them, and has no surety to undertake for him, and be a mediator between God and him, and make atonement for him: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him
that seekest [unto him];
they being both alike culpable, each pursuing the desires of their own evil hearts; the one seeking for smooth things to be spoken to him; the other speaking them, in order to gratify him, and for the sake of gain; the one being a false prophet, and the other seeking to and inquiring of him, though he was such, slighting and rejecting the true prophets of the Lord; both being deceived, and both blind, and so should fall into the same ditch, being under the same judicial blindness and hardness of heart. The Targum is,

``according to the sin of him that comes to learn and learns not; according to the sin of the false prophet shall it be.''

9 E se o profeta for enganado, e falar alguma coisa, eu, o Senhor, terei enganado esse profeta; e estenderei a minha mão contra ele, e destruí-lo-ei do meio do meu povo Israel.

10 E levarão o seu castigo. O castigo do profeta será como o castigo de quem o consultar;

11 para que a casa de Israel não se desvie mais de mim, nem mais se contamine com todas as suas transgressões; mas que sejam eles o meu povo, e seja eu o seu Deus, diz o Senhor Deus.

12 Veio ainda a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
