prophet] To enquire of things which the Lord hath appointed to come to passe.
according to the multitude of his idols] As his abomination hath deserved, that is, he shall be led with lies according as lie delighted therein, 2 Thessalonians 2:10. Others, his idols shall not shut up or close my mouth, but they shall rather open it to denounce the sentence of punishment against him.
