Contextual Overview

1 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the house of Jehovah, the gate which faces eastward. And, behold, at the opening of the gate were twenty five men. And I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, leaders of the people. 2 And He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and advise wicked advice in this city, 3 who say, It is not near, let us build houses; she is the pot, and we are the flesh. 4 So prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man! 5 And the Spirit of Jehovah fell on me and said to me, Speak, So says Jehovah: So you have said, house of Israel, for I Myself know the elevations of your spirit. 6 You have multiplied your dying ones in this city, and you have filled her streets with the dying. 7 So the Lord Jehovah says this: Your dying ones whom you have laid in her midst, they are the flesh, and she is the pot. But I will bring you forth out of her midst. 8 You have feared the sword, but I will bring a sword on you, says the Lord Jehovah. 9 And I will bring you out of her midst and will give you into the hand of strangers. And I will execute judgments against you. 10 You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you to the border of Israel, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This [city] shall not be your cauldron,.... It was one, as in

Ezekiel 11:7; but not theirs; it was the cauldron for the slain, for the dead, but not the living:

neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst of it; or, "and ye shall be" g or, "but ye shall be"; the negative is understood, and rightly supplied by us; though the Targum renders it without it,

"but ye shall be in the midst of it, as flesh that is boiled in the midst of a pot:''

[but] I will judge you in the border of Israel; this is repeated, that they might take notice of it, and to assure them that so it would be.

g ואתם תהיו "et vos critis", Montanus, Cocceius.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 11:11. I will judge you in the border of Israel, — Though Riblah was in Syria, yet it was on the very frontiers of Israel; and it was here that Zedekiah's sons were slain, and his own eyes put out.
