Ezekiel is returned to the captivity Therefore prophesy against them The phrase "Therefore prophesy against them" is a direct command from God to the prophet Ezekiel. The Hebrew word for "prophesy" is "נָבָא" (naba), which means to speak or sing by inspiration, often with the implication of foretelling future events. In the context of Ezekiel, this is not merely a prediction but a divine message that carries the authority and judgment of God. The use of "against them" indicates that the prophecy is not one of comfort or hope, but of confrontation and warning. Historically, this is set during a time when the leaders of Israel were leading the people astray, and God was using Ezekiel to call them to account. This highlights the role of a prophet as one who must sometimes deliver difficult truths, emphasizing the importance of obedience to God's commands even when they are challenging. prophesy, son of man Parallel Commentaries ...
