Ezequiel 13:11

11 diga àqueles que lhe passam cal: Esse muro vai cair! Virá chuva torrencial, e derramarei chuva de pedra, e rajarão ventos violentos.

Ezequiel 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:11

Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered [mortar]
The false prophets, that flattered the people with peace, prosperity, and safety: that it shall fall;
the wall they have built and daubed over; the city of Jerusalem shall be taken and destroyed; the predictions of the prophets shall prove lies; and the vain hopes and expectations of the people fail: there shall be an overflowing shower;
that shall wash away the wall with its untempered mortar; meaning the Chaldean army, compared to an overflowing shower of rain, for the multitude of men it, and the force, power, and noise, with which it should come, bearing down all before it; see ( Isaiah 8:7 Isaiah 8:8 ) ; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall;
upon the wall, and break it down: or, "ye, O great hailstones, shall cause [it] to fall" ^F8; or, "I will give great hailstones, [and] it shall fall" ^F9. The word "elgabish", which in some copies is one word, and in others two, as Kimchi and Ben Melech observe, is either the same with "gabish", which signifies a precious stone, and is rendered pearl in ( Job 28:18 ) ; or it may be, as it seems to be, an Arabic word; and Hottinger ^F11 takes it to be "gypsus", or lime, or the "lapis laminosus", or slate; so the Lord threatens to rain down lime or slate upon them from heaven, which should destroy the wall built with untempered mortar: and a stormy wind shall rend [it];
this seems to signify the same as the overflowing shower, the Chaldean army, compared to a strong tempestuous wind; see ( Jeremiah 4:11-13 ) ; as the hailstones, may signify the king of Babylon, with his princes, nobles, and generals.

Ezequiel 13:11 In-Context

9 Minha mão será contra os profetas que têm visões falsas e proferem adivinhações mentirosas. Eles não pertencerão ao conselho do meu povo, não estarão inscritos nos registros da nação de Israel e não entrarão na terra de Israel. Então vocês saberão que eu sou o Soberano, o SENHOR.

10 “Porque fazem o meu povo desviar-se dizendo-lhe ‘Paz’ quando não há paz e, quando constroem um muro frágil, passam-lhe cal,

11 diga àqueles que lhe passam cal: Esse muro vai cair! Virá chuva torrencial, e derramarei chuva de pedra, e rajarão ventos violentos.

12 Quando o muro desabar, o povo lhes perguntará: ‘Onde está a caiação que vocês fizeram?’

13 “Por isso, assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Na minha ira permitirei o estouro de um vento violento, e na minha indignação chuva de pedra e um aguaceiro torrencial cairão com ímpeto destruidor.
