Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 2:5

"And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them." — Ezekiel 2:5 (ASV)

A rebellious house - A phrase employed continually by Ezekiel in bitter irony, instead of house of Israel, as if to say, “House no longer of Israel, but of rebellion.” .
