- B) Ezekiel would sit comfortably on scorpion
- C) Briers, thorns and scorpions would torment him
- D) His situation would be uncomfortable as he prophesied to unwilling people
Correct Answer: D) His situation would be uncomfortable as he prophesied to unwilling people
Explanation
In the book of Ezekiel, God spoke to him during his commissioning and used the phrase briers and thorns are with you and you sit upon scorpions. This phrase implies a challenging situation for Ezekiel. The question is asking for the implication of this phrase.
Option A suggests that the land of exile should bring forth briers and thorns. However, this is not the implication of the phrase.
Option B proposes that Ezekiel would sit comfortably on scorpions, which is not only impossible but also does not make sense in the context of the phrase.
Option C suggests that briers, thorns, and scorpions would torment Ezekiel. This is a plausible interpretation of the phrase, but it is not the correct answer.
Option D is the correct answer. It suggests that Ezekiel's situation would be uncomfortable as he prophesied to unwilling people. This is because the phrase briers and thorns are with you and you sit upon scorpions metaphorically means that Ezekiel would face challenges and difficulties in his prophetic ministry. The briers, thorns, and scorpions represent the unwilling people who would oppose Ezekiel's message, making his situation uncomfortable.
In summary, the correct answer to the question is Option D.
