Commentaries on the First Twenty Chapters of the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, Vol. 2

Excerpt from Commentaries on the First Twenty Chapters of the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, Vol. 2
Here God directs his discourse against the impostors who deceived the people under pretence of exercising the prophetic gifts. He speaks of the exiled prophets, as will be evident from the context: for among the captives there were those who assumed the name of God, boasting themselves endowed with the prophetic spirit: but meanwhile they intruded into the office, and then vainly boasted in their deceptions. But the end which they proposed to themselves was to promise the people a speedy return, and so to win the favour of the multitude.
