Ezequiel 14:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 14:10

And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity
Both the false prophet, and those that sought unto him, and were deceived by him; and which being laid according to the strictness of divine justice, is intolerable: sad is the case when a man is obliged to bear his own sins, and the punishment of them, and has no surety to undertake for him, and be a mediator between God and him, and make atonement for him: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him
that seekest [unto him];
they being both alike culpable, each pursuing the desires of their own evil hearts; the one seeking for smooth things to be spoken to him; the other speaking them, in order to gratify him, and for the sake of gain; the one being a false prophet, and the other seeking to and inquiring of him, though he was such, slighting and rejecting the true prophets of the Lord; both being deceived, and both blind, and so should fall into the same ditch, being under the same judicial blindness and hardness of heart. The Targum is,

``according to the sin of him that comes to learn and learns not; according to the sin of the false prophet shall it be.''

Ezequiel 14:10 In-Context

8 Me pondré en contra de esas personas y haré de ellas un ejemplo espantoso cuando las elimine de mi pueblo. Entonces ustedes sabrán que yo soy el Señor
.

9 »’Además, si un profeta es engañado para que dé un mensaje, es porque yo, el Señor
, engañé a ese profeta. Alzaré mi puño contra esos profetas y los eliminaré de la comunidad de Israel.

10 Tanto los falsos profetas como quienes los consultan serán castigados por sus pecados.

11 De este modo, los israelitas aprenderán a no alejarse de mí y por tanto a no contaminarse con el pecado. Ellos serán mi pueblo y yo seré su Dios. ¡Yo, el Señor
Soberano, he hablado!’”».
