Ezekiel 13:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Consider with your own consciences; do they not tell you that all is vain pretence which you make? Can you think Jerusalem can escape, or the first captives be returned, and all this so soon? Is not this vain to be imagined, and they vainer that imagine and believe it?

Ezekiel 13:7
