Commentary on Ezekiel 3:27

Theological / Devotional

Let him hear. Compare the words of Jesus in Matt. 11:15 and 13:9. The LXX translates the second phrase “Let him who is disobedient be disobedient,” which finds an echo in Rev. 22:11.

A rebellious house. In earlier times God had referred to Israel as a “stiffnecked people” (Ex. 32:9). The same spirit that led to the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness had now made the Captivity inescapable.
