whole prophetic scene , " says Lowth * , cc is transacted in the single person of Zechariah , just as Ezekiel sustains the type or figure , both of the Chaldean army that should besiege Jerusalem and of the Jews themselves that were besieged * . * ' Ezek . iv , 1 — 12 . The words referred to by the Remarked are all of them the words of the prophet , as sustaining different characters in this scenical representation , and are not the words of
