Ezekiel 3:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

So the spirit lifted me up and took me away Caught me up into the air, and carried me, (as Philip was carried away from the eunuch,) and brought me to the place where I was to deliver my message, the place where the captive Jews were settled in great numbers: compare 1 Kings 18:12; 2 Kings 2:16; Acts 8:39. I went in bitterness, &c. I went in grief and anguish of mind, on account of the grievous things I was to declare to them, and the offence I foresaw I should give, and the opposition and ill treatment I should meet with. But the hand of the Lord was strong upon me Urging and impelling, as well as empowering me to execute my commission.

Ezekiel 3:14

14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness,e in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
