Commentary on Ezekiel 12:19

Theological / Devotional

People of the land. Doubtless some of Ezekiel’s prophetic utterances reached the ears of the inhabitants of Judah. But the predictions were not without significance for the exiles, many of whom expected the remnant in Judah to survive and Jerusalem to be spared. The prophet informed them that their land would be stripped of all its fullness and become utterly waste and desolate.
