Ezekiel 2:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Impudent children; shameless, who cannot blush, else they could never have transgressed so highly, constantly, and obstinately. Sodom in her day did not hide her sin, nor blush; so did the Jews in Isaiah's times, so they did to the days of their captivity, and under the captivity. Stiffhearted; hard-hearted, resolute, and strongly bent to do whatever liked them. Of disposition that relenteth not, but rather more confidently going on in evil. I, who appeared in so much glory, and on the throne, send thee unto them; give thee authority that thou mayst, and I give thee charge that thou must, go to them, and say unto them what I shall say unto thee. They will scoff and persecute, but I command; and remember whom thou hast seen, who is with thee. Thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; be sure to tell them who sends thee, read the commission, Thus saith, & c.

Ezekiel 2:4

4 For they are impudentb children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
