Ezekiel 7:26

Mischief . . . upon . . . mischief— (Deuteronomy 32:23; Jeremiah 4:20). This is said because the Jews were apt to fancy, at every abatement of suffering, that their calamities were about to cease; but God will accumulate woe on woe.

rumour—of the advance of the foe, and of his cruelty (Matthew 24:6).

seek a vision—to find some way of escape from their difficulties (Isaiah 26:9). So Zedekiah consulted Jeremiah (Jeremiah 37:17; Jeremiah 38:14).

law shall perish—fulfilled (Ezekiel 20:1, Ezekiel 20:3; Psalms 74:9; Lamentations 2:9; compare Amos 8:11); God will thus set aside the idle boast, "The law shall not perish from the priest" (Jeremiah 18:18).

ancients—the ecclesiastical rulers of the people.
