Ezequiel 13:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:2

Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel
Who called themselves so, and were accounted such by others; though they were not true, but false prophets; and so the Targum calls them: that prophesy;
that is, smooth things to the people; promising a speedy return from the captivity; or that Jerusalem should not be taken by the Chaldeans, and the inhabitants of it, and of the land, be carried captive: and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts;
who were not sent of God, nor spake from him; but of themselves, what came into their heads, and was agreeable to their fancies, imaginations, and carnal hearts; such are false teachers, that go forth without being sent, and teach not according to the word of God, but according to their own carnal reasonings; so the Targum,

``according to the will of their hearts;''

what they pleased themselves: hear ye the word of the Lord;
which came from the Lord himself, and not from man, meaning the following prophecy; so the written word of God should be attended to, both by teachers and hearers, as the only rule of faith and practice; see ( Isaiah 8:20 ) .

Ezequiel 13:2 In-Context

1 Juicio contra los falsos profetas
Después recibí este mensaje del Señor
:

2 «Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los falsos profetas de Israel que inventan sus propias profecías. Diles: “Escuchen la palabra del Señor
.

3 Esto dice el Señor
Soberano: ‘¡Qué aflicción les espera a los falsos profetas que siguen su propia imaginación y no han visto absolutamente nada!’”.

4 »“Oh pueblo de Israel, estos profetas tuyos son como chacales que escarban en las ruinas.

5 No han hecho nada para reparar las grietas de las murallas que rodean la nación. No la han ayudado a mantenerse firme en la batalla el día del Señor
