Clarke's Ezekiel 24:18 Bible Commentary

At even my wife died - The prophet's wife was a type of the city, which was to him exceedingly dear. The death of his wife represented the destruction of the city by the Chaldeans; see Ezekiel 24:21, where the temple is represented to be the desire of his eyes, as his wife was, Ezekiel 24:16.

Wesley's Ezekiel 24:18 Bible Commentary

24:18 I spake - Told them what I expected would be.
