Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 13:4

"O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places." — Ezekiel 13:4 (ASV)

Like the foxes in the deserts. —The comparison is sufficiently close if it is considered as extending only to these mischievous men living unconcerned among the ruins of their state and country, as the foxes find their home in desolated cities (Lamentations 5:18); but many extend the simile to the undermining of the ground by the foxes, as these prophets accelerated the ruin of their people.
