Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. Giving orders to prophesy against the false prophets and prophetesses, which were either in the land of Israel, of whom the prophet had notice; or rather who were among the captives in Babylon, where Ezekiel now was.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The identity of phrases and ideas of this chapter with Jeremiah 23:0 leads to the conclusion that Ezekiel took up a well-known prophecy to enforce and apply it to his companions in exile. They probably had read Jeremiah’s words as referring to others than themselves.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XIII

This chapter denounces heavy judgments against the lying

prophets who flattered the people, in the midst of their sin

and danger, with false hopes of peace and security, 1-9.

The work of these deceivers is beautifully compared to a frail

and insolent piece of building, which can never stand against

the battering elements of heaven, (the Chaldean forces,) which

God will commission against it, 10-16.

In the remaining part of the chapter woes are denounced against

false prophetesses who practiced vain rites and divinations,

with the view of promoting their own gain by deceiving the

people, 17-23.
