Contextual Overview

1 There resorted vnto me certayne of the elders of Israel, and sate downe by me. 2 Then came the word of the Lorde vnto me, saying: 3 Thou sonne of man, these men haue set vp their idols in their heartes, and put the stumbling blocke of iniquitie before their face: shoulde I then aunswere them at their request? 4 Therefore speake vnto them, and say vnto them, thus saith the Lorde God: Euery man of the house of Israel that setteth vp his idols in his heart, & putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to the prophete: vnto that man wyll I the Lord my selfe geue aunswere when he commeth, according to the multitude of his idols. 5 That the house of Israel may be snared in their owne heartes, because they be cleane gone from me all of them thorowe their idols. 6 Wherefore tell the house of Israel, thus saith the Lorde God: Returne and cause to returne from your idols, and turne your faces from all your abhominations. 7 For euery man, whether he be of the house of Israel, or a straunger that soiourneth in Israel, whiche departeth from me, and setteth vp his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his wickednesse before his face, and commeth to a prophete for to aske counsell at me through hym: vnto that man wyll I the Lorde geue aunswere by mine owne selfe. 8 I wyll set my face against that man, and wyll make hym to be an example for other, yea and a common byworde, and wyll roote hym out of my people, that ye may knowe howe that I am the Lorde. 9 And if that prophete be deceaued when he telleth a thing, then I the Lorde my selfe haue deceaued that prophete, and wyll stretche out my hande vpon him, to destroy him out of my people of Israel: 10 And they shalbe punished for their wickednesse, according to the sinne of hym that asketh, shall the sinne of the prophete be:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then came certain, of the elders of Israel unto me,.... The Syriac version adds, "to consult the Lord"; by the prophet. These, according to Kimchi, were the elders of the captivity, the heads of the captives that were now in Babylon with Ezekiel: but there are others that think they were some that came from Jerusalem to Babylon on some business or another; and having heard much of the prophet, came to visit him, and to hear his prophecies, and inquire of the Lord by him:

and sat before me; silent and pensive, as persons in anxiety and distress; or as hearers of him, for sitting is a hearing gesture; they sat and heard with great attention, gravity, and seriousness, with seeming affection and reverence; and all this was not in a visionary way, but was a real fact; see Ezekiel 33:31.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Elders of Israel - Some of the fellow-exiles of Ezekiel, among whom he ministered.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XIV

Here God threatens those hypocrites who pretended to worship

him, while they loved and practised idolatry, 1-11.

He declares his irreversible purpose of punishing so guilty a

nation, in behalf of which no intercession of the people of God

shall be of any avail. The gross idolaters of Jerusalem and

Judah shall be visited with God's four sore judgments, famine,

12-14;

wild beasts, 15, 16;

the sword, 17, 18;

and pestilence, 19-21.

A remnant shall be delivered from the wrath coming upon the

whole land, 22, 23.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIV

Verse Ezekiel 14:1. Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me — These probably came to tempt him, or get him to say something that would embroil him with the government. They were bad men, as we shall see in the third verse.
