Ezekiel 12:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:21

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying.
] After he had been a sign unto the people, in the two instances above mentioned; and they had hardened themselves against the belief of the things signified by them, because the time of their accomplishment was not yet.

Ezekiel 12:21 In-Context

19 Tell the people of this land, everyone living in Jerusalem and Israel, God's Message: 'You'll eat your meals shaking in your boots and drink your water in terror because your land is going to be stripped bare as punishment for the brutality rampant in it.

20 All the cities and villages will be emptied out and the fields destroyed. Then you'll realize that I am God.'"

21 God's Message came to me:

22 "Son of man, what's this proverb making the rounds in the land of Israel that says, 'Everything goes on the same as ever; all the prophetic warnings are false alarms'?

23 "Tell them, 'God, the Master, says, This proverb's going to have a short life!'
