Ezekiel 6:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 6:8

6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the¹ high places shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

7 The slain shall fall in your midst, and ^ayou shall know that I am the Lord.

8 ^a“Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are ^bscattered through the countries.

9 Then those of you who escape will ^aremember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because ^bI was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and ^cby their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; ^dthey will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations.

10 And they shall know that I am the Lord; I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.”

11 ‘Thus says the Lord God: ^a“Pound your fists and stamp your feet, and say, ‘Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! ^bFor they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

12 He who is far off shall die by the pestilence, he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine. ^aThus will I spend My fury upon them.
