Ezekiel 13:9

“And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies, &c.] Meaning, by his hand, not the true spirit of prophecy, attended with a divine power and energy, as in (<260103>Ezekiel 1:3 3:14); but the wrath and power of God seizing on them and punishing them. So the Targum, “and the stroke of my power shall be upon the false prophets, &c.” The sense is, that they should feel the weight of his hand, and the lighting down of his arm with the indignation of his wrath, by inflicting punishment upon them: they shall not be in the assembly of my people; shall have no place in the church of God, nor fellowship with the saints; they shall not join with them in religious worship…”

“mine hand--My power in vengeance. not . . . in . . . assembly--rather, the "council"; "They shall not occupy the honorable office of councillors in the senate of elders after the return from Babylon" (Ezr 2:1-2). neither . . . written in . . . Israel--They shall not even have a place in the register kept of all citizens' names; they shall be erased from it, just as the names of those who died in the year, or had been deprived of citizenship for their crimes, were at the annual revisal erased. Compare Jer 17:13; Luk 10:20; Rev 3:5, as to those spiritually Israelites; Joh 1:47, and those not so. Literally fulfilled (Ezr 2:59, Ezr 2:62; compare Neh 7:5; Psa 69:28). neither . . . enter . . .…”

“Assembly - Here “the congregation of the people.” These false prophets were to be struck off from “the writing” or, the rolls, in which the names of all Israelites were registered (compare Psalms 87:6; Exodus 32:32); and therefore when the restoration Ezekiel 11:17 shall take place these men shall not have part in it. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Mine hand - My power striking them. In the assembly - Have no seat among the rulers, nor voice among the counsellors. Written - Not registered among those that return, Ezr 2:1-2. Enter - They shall never come into the land of Israel. They shall not be written in the book of eternal life, which is written for the just ones of the house of Israel, saith the Chaldea paraphrast. Ezekiel 13:10”
