Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
12:1–24:27 This section collects diverse prophecies and sign acts that are united in their condemnation of Jerusalem and its leaders. 12:1-2 The inhabitants of Judah were not the only ones who had stony, stubborn hearts that were reluctant to hear the prophet’s message (11:19). The exiles among whom Ezekiel lived were also rebellious people who would refuse to see that their ways were evil and decline to hear his message, just like those left behind in Judah.
