10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
10 They will bear their guilt-the prophet will be as guilty as the one who consults him.
10 And they shall bear their punishment
10 They'll be equally guilty, the prophet and the one who goes to the prophet,
10 And they shall bear their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired,
10 False prophets and those who seek their guidance will all be punished for their sins.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 14:10
Commentary on Ezekiel 14:1-11
(Read Ezekiel 14:1-11)
No outward form or reformation can be acceptable to God, so long as any idol possesses the heart; yet how many prefer their own devices and their own righteousness, to the way of salvation! Men's corruptions are idols in their hearts, and are of their own setting up; God will let them take their course. Sin renders the sinner odious in the eyes of the pure and holy God; and in his own eyes also, whenever conscience is awakened. Let us seek to be cleansed from the guilt and pollution of sins, in that fountain which the Lord has opened.
