Ezekiel13:9

9 And mine hand shall be upon the Prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

My power striking them, so that it shall be evident they fall under divine revenge, as Pelatiah, chap. 11.13. and Hananiah, Ier. 28.15, 16. Or if they escape this stroke.

Have no seat among the Rulers, nor voice among the councellours, nor credit among the Judges of my people; but as false fellows, teachers of lies, be branded with infamy after the return from Captivity. Or, they shall not be among those that return, dead before, or rejected as dangerous seducers and blasphemous abusers of the name of God. It may also refer to the excluding them out of the assembly of glorified ones in Heaven.

Not registred among those that return, of which registry. Ezra 2.1▪ 2. but blotted out for their impiety, this literally; mystically it may be an obliterating, or blotting them out of the book of Life, they shall not be written with such as shall escape, spiritually, they shall not be found among the elect that shall live for ever.

They shall never more come into the Land of Israel, not survive the Captivity. Or, with disgrace cast off shall die in strange Lands. In brief the approaching prosperity which they promise the people none shall see, Ier. 29.21, 32. but the prosperity after 70 years captivity, which I promise, my people shall see, but these false Prophets never shall see, my hand shall be so against them. They shall not be written in the books of Eternal Life, which is written for the just ones of the house of Israel, saith the Chaldee paraphrast.

See Chap. 12. verse 15.
