Ezekiel 11:15-16. Son of man, &c.— Son of man, thy brethren, the men who are captives with thee, and all the house of Israel; all those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, They are vanished far from the Lord; the land is given to us in possession. Ezekiel 11:16. Thou shalt say these things concerning them; Thus, &c. Houbigant; who, instead of, As a little sanctuary, reads, A sanctuary in a little time. He would be to them of the captivity what he had formerly been to the whole nation; their refuge and defence.

16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
