Ezekiel 12:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:10

Say thou unto them, thus saith the Lord God
In answer to their sneering question; or notwithstanding their stupidity and indolence, and in order to awaken them out of it: this burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem;
the present reigning prince in Jerusalem, King Zedekiah. The sense is, either that that burden of goods the prophet carried out on his shoulders had a regard to the king of Judah and his captivity, and was an emblem of it; or rather that the burden of prophecy, or that sorrowful calamity predicted by the above sign or type, had relation to that prince, and would be fulfilled in him; and so the Targum,

``upon the prince is the burden of this prophecy;''
in like manner Jarchi interprets it of prophecy: and all the house of Israel which [are] among them;
they were also concerned in it, and would be carried captive with their prince.

Ezekiel 12:10 In-Context

8 Au matin, la parole de l'Éternel me fut adressée en ces termes:
9 Fils de l'homme, la maison d'Israël, cette maison rebelle, ne t'a-t-elle pas dit: "Que fais-tu? "
10 Dis-leur: Ainsi a dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel: C'est le prince qui est à Jérusalem que concerne cet oracle, ainsi que toute la maison d'Israël qui s'y trouve.
11 Dis: Je suis pour vous un signe. Il leur sera fait comme j'ai fait; ils partiront pour l'exil, pour la captivité.
12 Et le prince qui est au milieu d'eux mettra son bagage sur l'épaule, et partira dans l'obscurité; on lui fera une ouverture dans le mur pour le faire sortir; il couvrira son visage, afin de ne point voir de ses yeux la terre.
