Context of Ezekiel 13:9
7Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, Yhwh saith it; albeit I have not spoken? 8Therefore thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Yhwh. And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Yhwh. 10Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: 11Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 13:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9They shall not be in the assembly of my people - They shall not be reputed members of my Church. They shall not be reckoned in the genealogy of true Israelites that return from captivity; and they shall never have a possession in the land; they shall be exhereditated and expatriated. They shall all perish in the siege, by the sword, the famine, and the pestilence.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9Assembly - Here “the congregation of the people.” These false prophets were to be struck off from “the writing” or, the rolls, in which the names of all Israelites were registered (compare Psalm 87:6; Exodus 32:32); and therefore when the restoration Ezekiel 11:17 shall take place these men shall not have part in it.Read the comment
