Ezequiel 13:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:17

Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters
of thy people
The false prophetesses; for as there were women in some ages, who had the true spirit of prophecy, as Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah, ( Exodus 15:20 ) ( Judges 4:4 ) ( 2 Kings 22:14 ) ; so there were some that pretended to it, who had it not, as Noadiah in the times of Nehemiah, ( Nehemiah 6:14 ) ; and such there were in the times of Ezekiel; against whom he is bid to set his face, and look them out of countenance, and make them ashamed; who, contrary to the modesty of the sex, had impudently taken upon them to prophesy to the people; and such have been since in the times of the Gospel, as Jezebel, ( Revelation 2:20 ) ; and Prisca, Maximilia, Quintilia, and others: who prophesy out of their own heart;
as the men did, ( Ezekiel 13:2 ) ; what their own hearts suggested to them; what came into their minds, and their own fancies and imaginations led them to; what was according to their carnal affections and desires, and agreeable to those that heard them: and prophesy thou against them;
declare their prophecies false; warn the people from giving heed to them; and foretell what shall befall them for deceiving the people.

Ezequiel 13:17 In-Context

15 Assim esgotarei minha ira contra o muro e contra aqueles que o caiaram. Direi a vocês: O muro se foi, e também aqueles que o caiaram,
16 os profetas de Israel que profetizaram sobre Jerusalém e tiveram visões de paz para ela quando não havia paz. Palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR.
17 “Agora, filho do homem, vire o rosto contra as filhas do seu povo que profetizam pela sua própria imaginação. Profetize contra elas
18 e diga: Assim diz o SENHOR, o Soberano: Ai das mulheres que costuram berloques de feitiço em seus pulsos e fazem véus de vários comprimentos para a cabeça a fim de enlaçarem o povo. Pensam que vão enlaçar a vida do meu povo e preservar a de vocês?
19 VocĂŞs me profanaram no meio de meu povo em troca de uns punhados de cevada e de migalhas de pĂŁo. Ao mentirem ao meu povo, que ouve mentiras, vocĂŞs mataram aqueles que nĂŁo deviam ter morrido e pouparam aqueles que nĂŁo deviam viver.
