Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Ezekiel 22:28

Prophets; false prophets. Have daubed them; flattered their oppressing bloody princes in their ways of sin and violence. With untempered mortar; with promises and encouragements that, like ill tempered mortar, will deceive them, though all seems for the present smooth and safe. Divining lies; pretending they had by vision from God all the good they promised, whereas it was all a notorious lie and falsehood. God never spake to those prophets, and what by his own prophets he spake was of quite another tenure, it was evil, not good.
