Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 3:25

25 But thou, O Son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them.

See chap. 2.1.

Tis not said who shall do this, therefore Interpreters ghesse variously at it, some say tis figurative noting the malice of the Jews, who would not suffer him quietly to converse with them, their malice was like Bonds. Others understand the words as they sound and refer to. 1. Angels as if they bound him. 2. To his Friends and Domesticks, who would take his intenseness and earnestness in continued, retired thoughtfulness to be madness, so Prophets were mistaken and misreported, 2 Kings 9. and Mark 3.21. 3. To the ruder and more violent of the Jews, who on all occasions were ready thus to confine their Prophets, when they foretold unwelcome Tydings, and to stir up their Governours hereto, as 1 Kings 22.27. Ier. 32.2. and 37.15. and 38.6, 7. Tis not improbable that the rabble should incense the ([non-Latin text not transcribed]) Presidents of the Captivity to do this.

Signifying the bonds and chains of their future Captivity who were yet at Ierusalem.

This I suppose denotes the severity with which the Conqueror would treat them, he would bind their bonds fast, close, and this will be pain and grief to the bounden.

A Hebraism, thou shalt be denied a free converse.
