Ezequiel 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:5

And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me
In an extraordinary manner, and afresh, and enlightened his mind, and showed him things that should come to pass; and filled him with boldness and courage to declare them. The Targum interprets it of the spirit of prophecy: and said unto me, speak;
what I shall show and put into thy mouth, that speak out; be not afraid, but boldly declare all that I give thee in commission to say: thus saith the Lord, thus have ye said, O house of Israel;
as in ( Ezekiel 11:3 ) ; which perhaps was said in secret, and spoken privately, but known by the Lord; and it was not only the princes that said it, but the whole body of the people joined in with it, and agreed to it; though it is very probable they were influenced by the former: for I know the things that come into your mind, [everyone of] them;
not only their scoffing words, but the thoughts of their hearts; not one of them escaped the knowledge of God; the consideration of which should command an awe on men, and engage them to a watchfulness over their thoughts, words, and actions.

Ezequiel 11:5 In-Context

3 Le dicen al pueblo: “¿Acaso no es un buen momento para construir casas? Esta ciudad es como una olla de hierro. Aquí adentro estamos a salvo, como la carne en la olla”.

4 Por lo tanto, hijo de hombre, profetiza contra ellos en forma clara y a viva voz».

5 Entonces vino sobre mí el Espíritu del Señor
, y me ordenó que dijera: «Esto dice el Señor
a los habitantes de Israel: “Yo sé lo que ustedes hablan, porque conozco cada pensamiento que les viene a la mente.

6 Ustedes asesinaron a muchos en esta ciudad y llenaron las calles con cadáveres.

7 »”Por lo tanto, esto dice el Señor
Soberano: es cierto que esta ciudad es una olla de hierro, pero los trozos de carne son las víctimas de la injusticia de ustedes. En cuanto a ustedes, pronto los sacaré a rastras de esta olla.
