Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 11:25
When the ecstasy was past, I spake unto them; either the elders who came to him, , or to the body of the people, who were in those parts where Ezekiel was; for many were scattered into other parts of Chaldea. All the things that the Lord had showed me: here is his faithfulness, both to God and the people, who were concerned to know, for God had showed them to the prophet that he might show them to the people, and, that this might surely be done, God had commanded him to speak to them plainly and fully.

Ezekiel 11:25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.Ver. 25.
