até que lhes falte o pão e a água, e se espantem uns com os outros, e se definhem na sua iniqüidade.

The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #126
126. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 3
1-3 He should be instructed in the Word, which in itself is delightful. (2, 3)
4-7 He should teach those that have the Word, and consequently are able to live according to the Divine commandments, but they do not so live; while with others it would be otherwise. (2, 11)
8-9 He should not fear their obduracy, (2)
10-11 but should teach them. (2)
12-13 It is perceived that the state of the church has been changed entirely in respect to the Word and doctrine from the Word. (2)
14-15 He was indignant that it should be so. (2)
16-17 But that He might represent the Word, (2)
18-21 he would be guilty if He did not reveal their falsities and evils, and not guilty if He did reveal them. (2)
22-23 It is according to the sense of the letter, which He must explain (2, 16)
24-27 He must not speak from Himself, but from the Lord. (16)
Ezekiel 4:1-2
1
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
2
And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
