Geneva Bible Notes (1560): Ezekiel 11

^{1 !} Who thei were that seduced the people of Israel.

^{2 a} Thus the wicked derided the Prophets, as thogh they preached but errors, & therfore gaue themselues stil to their pleasures.

^{3 b} We shal not be pulled out of Jerusalem, til the houre of our death comes as the flesh is not taken out of the caldron til it be fod.

^{5 !} Against these he prophecieth, shewing them how thei shal be sispersed abroade.

^{7 c} Contrarie to their vaine confidence he sheweth in what sense this citie is the caldron: that is, because of the dead bodies that haue bene murthered therein, and so lie as flesh in the caldron.

^{9 d} That is, of the Caldeans.

^{10 e} That is, in Riblah, read {2 King, 25, 7}

^{13 f} It semeth that this noble man dyed of some terrible death & therefore the Prophet feared some strange judgement of God towarde the rest of the people.

^{15 g} Thei that remained stil at Jerusalem thus reproched them that were gone into captiuitie, as thogh thei were cast of and forsaken of God.

^{16 h} Thei shalbe yet a litle Church, shewing that the Lord wil euer haue some to call vpon his Name, whome he wil preserue and restore, thogh thei be for a time afflicted.

^{19 !} The renuing of the heart commeth of God.

^{19 i} Meaning, the heart whereunto nothing can enter, and regenerate them a newe, so that their heart may be soft, & ready to receiue my graces.

^{21 !} He threatneth them that leaue vnto thier owne counsels.

^{25 k} When Jeconiah was led a waie captiue.
