Ezequiel 12:9

9 Hijo del hombre, ¿no te ha dicho la casa de Israel, aquella casa rebelde: ¿Qué haces?

Ezequiel 12:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:9

Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house,
said unto thee
The Jews that were in captivity; for with these the prophet was, and before their eyes he had done the above things; and they only could put the following question to him, who were "the rebellious house"; ( Ezekiel 12:2 ) ; what dost thou?
this they put not seriously, as desirous of being informed what was meant by all this; but as deriding the prophet for acting such a weak and silly part: this the Lord knew they had done, and therefore directs the prophet to make a proper answer; though some think the sense is, "hath not the house of Israel said unto thee, what dost thou?" no, they have not; they take no notice of it; never say one word about it, or inquire into the meaning of it; quite careless, thoughtless, and stupid; wherefore, though they will not ask anything concerning it, yet begin with them, and show them the design of it.

Ezequiel 12:9 In-Context

7 Y yo hice así como me fué mandado: saqué mis aparejos de día, como aparejos de partida, y á la tarde horadé la pared á mano; salí de noche, y llevélos sobre los hombros á vista de ellos.

8 Y fué á mi palabra de Jehová por la mañana, diciendo:

9 Hijo del hombre, ¿no te ha dicho la casa de Israel, aquella casa rebelde: ¿Qué haces?

10 Diles: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Al príncipe en Jerusalem es esta carga, y á toda la casa de Israel que está en medio de ellos.

11 Diles: Yo soy vuestra señal: como yo hice, así les harán á ellos: al pasar á otro país irán en cautiverio.
