Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. See also: Ezekiel 8:3Ezekiel 3:12Ezekiel 3:14He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city; See also: Isaiah 30:1Jeremiah 5:5Psalms 52:2who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’ See also: Ezekiel 12:22Ezekiel 12:27Ezekiel 11:7-11Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.” See also: Ezekiel 21:2Hosea 6:5Ezekiel 3:2-15The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind. See also: Jeremiah 17:10Ezekiel 2:2Jeremiah 16:17You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.” See also: Ezekiel 7:23Ezekiel 22:12Isaiah 1:15“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it. See also: Micah 3:2-3Ezekiel 24:3-13Jeremiah 52:24-27You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD. See also: Proverbs 10:24Job 3:25Isaiah 24:17-18“I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. See also: Ezekiel 5:8Deuteronomy 28:36Psalms 106:41You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD. See also: 2 Kings 14:25Jeremiah 39:6Ezekiel 6:7This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel. See also: Ezekiel 11:3Ezekiel 11:7-10You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’” See also: Ezekiel 8:10Ezekiel 8:14Ezekiel 8:16When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?” See also: Ezekiel 11:1Ezekiel 9:8Acts 5:5The LORD’s word came to me, saying, “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.’ See also: Ezekiel 33:24Isaiah 65:5Jeremiah 24:1-5“Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’ See also: Isaiah 8:14Deuteronomy 30:3-4Psalms 90:1“Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” See also: Ezekiel 28:25Ezekiel 34:13Jeremiah 3:18“‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there. See also: Ezekiel 37:23Ezekiel 5:11Ezekiel 42:7-8I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them.

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

↑ 1Ezekiel 11:3
Ver. 3. Built, &c. These men despised the predictions and threats of the prophets; who declared them to be from God, that the city should be destroyed and the inhabitants carried into captivity: and they made use of this kind of argument against the prophets, that the city so far from being like to be destroyed, had lately be augmented by the building of new houses; from whence they further inferred, by way of a proverb, using the similitude of a cauldron, out of which the flesh is not taken till it is thoroughly boiled and fit to be eaten, that they should not be carried away out of thier city, but there end their days in peace. Ch. --- They thought themselves secure, (W.) and laughed at the menaces of Jeremias, i. 15. C. --- Heb. "The destruction is not soon coming. Let us build;" (Pagn. M.) or, "It is not time to build."

↑ 7Ezekiel 11:10
Ver. 10. Israel.

↑ 12Ezekiel 11:13
Ver. 13. Pheltias, the prince, (v. 1. H.) or false prophet, whose death Ezechiel does not bewail, but fears the great destruction of the people; (W. M.) though, if Pheltias died impenitent, his death might justly call for tears. H. --- This happened in a vision. Yet (C.) he probably died suddenly about his time. Lyran.
↑ 13Ezekiel 11:15
Ver. 15. Thy brethren, &c. He speaks of them that had been carried away captives before, who were despised by them that remained in Jerusalem; but, as the prophet here declares to them from God, should be in a more happy condition than they, and after some time return from their captivity. Ch. ---
David had been insulted in like manner. 1 K. xxvi. 19. C.

Ver. 23. Mount Olivet, whence he might behold the conflagration of the city, before his ascent into heaven.

i.
26.) to denote the two natures. C.
