John Gill's Exposition of the Whole Bible

Ezekiel 11:14

Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,.... In answer to his prayer. The Targum calls it,

"the word of prophecy from the Lord;''

this was by way of comfort to the captives in Babylon, as the former was by way of threatening to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
