Ezekiel 12:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 12 Under the type of Ezekiel's removing of his household stuff is showed the captivity of Zedekiah and his people, Ezekiel 12:1-16. Under another type of his eating and drinking with trembling and anxiety is signified the consternation of the people and desolation of the land, Ezekiel 12:17-20. The prophet reproveth the presumptuous proverb of the Jews, Ezekiel 12:21-25. He repeateth the reproof, Ezekiel 12:26-28. A Divine prediction of what was both sure and near to come to pass. Came unto me, in the sixth and seventh years of Jeconiah's captivity, and of Zedekiah's reign; in the latter end of the three hundred and eighty-seven of Ezekiel's lying on his side, three years before the fatal siege began.
