Ezekiel3:11

11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear.

Vid. verse 4.

Of the first Captivity under Ieconias Reign, who succeeded his Father Iehojakim, slain for his Conspiracy with Egypt against Nebuchadnezzar, as 2 Kings 24.1. with 6, 7. These are those good Figs, Ier. 24.6, 7, 8. of whom such good is spoken and to whom those Promises are made.

The Sons of thy people, Heb. Some will have God speaking here of this people as no more his, but I think it rather is to be interpreted of some that were amidst them who were disowned of God, and were now but Children or Sons of the People, the Apostate Idolaters and debauched sinners, which might possibly have embraced the Conquerors Religion and Manners.

Here again the Command is repeated and doubled.

As before chap. 2. ver. 4.
