Commentary on Ezekiel 11:7

Theological / Devotional

They are the flesh. The people boasted of the protection of their city, and had no intention of heeding Jeremiah’s instruction to abandon the city and surrender to the Chaldeans (Jer. 21:9). But Ezekiel’s solemn warning was that only those whom they had slain would be granted this privilege of remaining inside the city. The living would suffer their doom outside the city walls.
