Ezekiel 13:5 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Ye — Vain prophets. Gone up — As in a besieged city, whose wall is broken down, a valiant soldier would run up into the breach to repel the enemy; so true prophets partly by prayer, and partly by doctrine, labour to preserve God's people. Hedge — The house of Israel is the Lord's vineyard, through the hedge whereof many breaches are made. To stand — Not with arms, but with fasting, prayer, and repentance.

Ezekiel 13:5

5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps,b neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
