Contextual Overview

1 Moreouer, the Spirite lift me vp, and brought me vnto the East gate of the Lordes house, which lyeth Eastwarde, and beholde, at the entrie of the gate were fiue and twentie men: among whome I sawe Iaazaniah the sonne of Azur, and Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah, the princes of the people. 2 Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, these are the men that imagine mischiefe, and deuise wicked counsell in this citie. 3 For they say, It is not neere, let vs builde houses: this citie is the caldron, and wee be the flesh. 4 Therefore prophesie against them, sonne of man, prophesie. 5 And the Spirite of the Lord fell vpon me, and said vnto me, Speake, Thus saith the Lorde, O ye house of Israel, this haue ye said, and I know that which riseth vp of your mindes. 6 Many haue ye murthered in this citie, and ye haue filled the streets thereof with the slaine. 7 Therefore thus saith the Lorde God, They that ye haue slaine, and haue layed in the middes of it, they are the flesh, and this citie is the caldron, but I wil bring you foorth of the mids of it. 8 Ye haue feared the sworde, and I wil bring a sworde vpon you, saith the Lorde God. 9 And I will bring you out of the middes thereof, and deliuer you into the hands of strangers, and will execute iudgements among you. 10 Ye shall fall by the sworde, and I wil iudge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lorde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore prophesy against them,.... Evil things against them, things that are disagreeable to them; since they flatter themselves with good things, and cry peace and safety, let them know that destruction is coming upon them: or, "concerning them" f; what will befall them, and that it will be otherwise with them than they imagine:

prophesy, O son of man; this is repeated, not only to stir up the prophet to the performance of his work and office, not fearing the faces, and revilings, and mockings of men; but to show the indignation of the Lord at their scoffs and jeers, and the certain accomplishment of what should be predicted.

f עליהם "de eis", V. L. "super eos", Pagninus, Montanus.
