Ezekiel 13:11

“Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered [mortar], &c.] The false prophets, that flattered the people with peace, prosperity, and safety: that it shall fall; the wall they have built and daubed over; the city of Jerusalem shall be taken and destroyed; the predictions of the prophets shall prove lies; and the vain hopes and expectations of the people fail: there shall be an overflowing shower; that shall wash away the wall with its untempered mortar; meaning the Chaldean army, compared to an overflowing shower of rain, for the multitude of men it, and the force, power, and noise, with which it should come, bearing down all before it; (see <230807>Isaiah 8:7,8); and ye, O great…”

In the East, where the walls are often built with unbaked bricks, desolations of this kind are frequently occasioned by tempestuous rains. Eze 38:22; Job 27:21; Psa 11:6, Psa 18:13, Psa 18:14, Psa 32:6; Isa 25:4, Isa 28:2, Isa 28:15-18; Isa 29:6, Isa 32:19; Nah 1:3, Nah 1:7, Nah 1:8; Mat 7:25, Mat 7:27; Luk 6:48, Luk 6:49 Ezekiel 13:12”
