Hesekiel 12:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:9

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house,
said unto thee
The Jews that were in captivity; for with these the prophet was, and before their eyes he had done the above things; and they only could put the following question to him, who were "the rebellious house"; ( Ezekiel 12:2 ) ; what dost thou?
this they put not seriously, as desirous of being informed what was meant by all this; but as deriding the prophet for acting such a weak and silly part: this the Lord knew they had done, and therefore directs the prophet to make a proper answer; though some think the sense is, "hath not the house of Israel said unto thee, what dost thou?" no, they have not; they take no notice of it; never say one word about it, or inquire into the meaning of it; quite careless, thoughtless, and stupid; wherefore, though they will not ask anything concerning it, yet begin with them, and show them the design of it.

Hesekiel 12:9 In-Context

7 Und ich tat also, wie mir geboten war. Meine Geräte trug ich wie Auswanderergeräte bei Tage hinaus, und am Abend durchbrach ich mir die Mauer mit der Hand; in dichter Finsternis trug ich sie hinaus, ich nahm sie vor ihren Augen auf die Schulter. -
8 Und das Wort Jehovas geschah zu mir am Morgen also:
9 Menschensohn, hat nicht das Haus Israel, das widerspenstige Haus, zu dir gesagt: Was tust du?
10 Sprich zu ihnen: So spricht der Herr, Jehova: Den Fürsten in Jerusalem betrifft dieser Ausspruch und das ganze Haus Israel, in dessen Mitte sie sind.
11 Sprich: Ich bin ein Wahrzeichen für euch; gleichwie ich getan habe, also soll ihnen getan werden: In die Verbannung, in die Gefangenschaft werden sie gehen.
