Ezequiel 12:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:10

Say thou unto them, thus saith the Lord God
In answer to their sneering question; or notwithstanding their stupidity and indolence, and in order to awaken them out of it: this burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem;
the present reigning prince in Jerusalem, King Zedekiah. The sense is, either that that burden of goods the prophet carried out on his shoulders had a regard to the king of Judah and his captivity, and was an emblem of it; or rather that the burden of prophecy, or that sorrowful calamity predicted by the above sign or type, had relation to that prince, and would be fulfilled in him; and so the Targum,

``upon the prince is the burden of this prophecy;''

in like manner Jarchi interprets it of prophecy: and all the house of Israel which [are] among them;
they were also concerned in it, and would be carried captive with their prince.

Ezequiel 12:10 In-Context

8 Y vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR por la mañana, diciendo:

9 Hijo de hombre, ¿no te ha dicho la casa de Israel, esa casa rebelde: "¿Qué estás haciendo?"

10 Diles: "Así dice el Señor DIOS: 'Este oráculo se refiere al príncipe en Jerusalén y a toda la casa de Israel que está en medio de ella.'"

11 Di: "Yo soy vuestra señal; como he hecho, así se hará con ellos; irán al destierro, a la cautividad."

12 Y el príncipe que está en medio de ellos, cargará su equipaje sobre los hombros en la oscuridad, y saldrá. Cavará un hueco en el muro para sacarlo. Cubrirá su rostro para no ver la tierra con sus ojos.
