Ezekiel 5:6

Compare all

4 Then take some of them again and ^athrow them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel.

5 “Thus says the Lord God: ‘This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations and the countries all around her.

6 She has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.’

7 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have¹ multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes ^anor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you’—

8 therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations.

9 ^aAnd I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations.

10 Therefore fathers ^ashall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will ^bscatter to all the winds.

11 ‘Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have ^adefiled My sanctuary with all your ^bdetestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; ^cMy eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.

Ezekiel 5:6

She hath changed my judgments - God shows the reason why he deals with Jerusalem in greater severity than with the surrounding nations; because she was more wicked than they. Bad and idolatrous as they were, they had a greater degree of morality among them than the Jews had. Having fallen from the true God, they became more abominable than others in proportion to the height, eminence, and glory from which they had fallen. This is the common case of backsliders; they frequently, in their fall, become tenfold more the children of wrath than they were before.
