Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 13:14

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Pull it down stone by stone.

Level it with the ground.

The unsoundness of the foundation, what ever it may seem to be.

To every one that will look on it, and this to the utter shame of the builders.

Who deceive and are deceived by it.

Shall perish in the midst thereof, s[illegible: 1 letter] all that hearkned to these false Prophets, rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar, Fortified the City, and obstinately stood it out, fell with the ruines of the City and perisht, and then felt the stroak of Gods hand, and truth of his Prophet.

This verse with very little variation repeats the same dreadful procedure of God against this people, and these false Prophets, and their false ill-grounded confidences. And this repeating these things is to give us to know the certainty of the thing, the terrour wherewith God will do it, and the stupidity of the jews bewitcht by the flatteries of their false Prophets.
