Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 12:24

24 For there shall be no more any vain vision, nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

These Proverbialising scoffers compared the true Prophets with the false, these predict prosperity and return of the Captives from Babylon within few years, and before Ierusalem be destroyed, so they flattered the people. The true Prophets foretel long Captivity, bloody slaughters, strait siege, a burnt City and Temple. Now these scoffers bear up themselves on these flatteries, and argue against the Divine menaces, and are ready to enquire, why may not Ezekiels vision be us vain as he saith theirs is, and, if one why not both; well these fools are capable of no better answer, then that which will destroy at once their doubts and their hopes, judgment executed shall convince the false Prophets of their lying divination, and these Atheists of their illogical inferences.

For this many years, for 70 years to come, and till wickedness shall again take root with the prosperity of the returned Captivity.
