Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 13:4

4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

A pathetical exclamation to awake Israel, both the dwellers at Ierusalem and those at Babylon.

Thy Prophets not mine as ver. 2.

Hungry, and ravening, crafty, and guileful, and living by their wits, but not one whit helpful to those they deceive such are false Prophets.

Where want of prey makes them more eager of their prey, and where other devourring Beasts endanger Travellers, but no defence to them from Foxes, these fly into their holes betimes, and leave the endangered ones. Or thus, O Israel thou art like the desert spoiled and robbed, and thy false Prophets like Foxes hungry and hunting for some prey, live upon what they can catch, but will be no more profitable to thee then Foxes are to the Wilderness.
