John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 12:9

"Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?" — Ezekiel 12:9 (ASV)

Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house , said to you The Jews that were in captivity; for with these the prophet was, and before their eyes he had done the above things; and they only could put the following question to him, who were "the rebellious house"; (Ezekiel 12:2) ; what do you ? this they put not seriously, as desirous of being informed what was meant by all this; but as deriding the prophet for acting such a weak and silly part: this the Lord knew they had done, and therefore directs the prophet to make a proper answer;

though some think the sense is, "has not the house of Israel said to you, what do you?" no, they have not; they take no notice of it; never say one word about it, or inquire into the meaning of it; quite careless, thoughtless, and stupid; wherefore, though they will not ask anything concerning it, yet begin with them, and show them the design of it.
