Ezekiel 14:1-3 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

What a striking representation is here of the Church in all ages! As it was with Ezekiel in Babylon; so is it now in the Egypt of the present world. In our congregations we know not who they are that sit before us. But the Lord knows who they are, and all the motives of their coming. And, oh! that all hypocritical followers of the Church of God would listen to what the Lord here saith, the Lord will not be enquired of such, but will give them his own tremendous answers!

Ezekiel 14:1-3

1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.

2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
