Context of Ezekiel 11:4

2And he said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and who give wicked counsel in this city; 3who say, 'The time is not near to build houses. This city is the cauldron, and we are the meat.' Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man." 5And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and he said to me, "Say, Thus says the Lord: So you think, O house of Israel. For I know the things that come into your mind. 6You have multiplied your slain in this city and have filled its streets with the slain.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 11:4

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-11The Spirit showed Ezekiel God's view of Jerusalem, then let him hear the city's people. The wicked advisors claimed that although the Babylonian attack (the fire) was difficult (hot), the city's defenses (the pot) were strong enough to protect them (the meat). These advisors encouraged people to build houses on stolen land (see Ezekiel 11:15, 17), believing they would be safe. God, however, was determined to judge the wicked.Read the comment
