the word is appointed to open mens eyes, but here the Prophet is sent to shut their eyes that they may not be converted, this is dreadful, this is for the punishment of some former neglect of the word of God sent unto this People, above all Judgments you should be afraid of this; It is not so much that a fire should be upon your houses, as that God should make His word to be a means to harden your hearts. In Ezek. 14. we have a dreadful expression to this purpose by the Prophet there, where the Lord saith, that the people did come to enquire of him, with setting up their Idols in their hearts, but saith God, I will answer them according to their Idol.
