Commentary on Ezekiel 5:9

Theological / Devotional

I have not done. It is not clear with what the impending calamities were to be compared, whether perhaps to the great catastrophes of the past, the Flood or the destruction of Sodom. It is true that neither of these represented so lingering a death as the one forecast in v. 10. What seems clear is that Israel had received higher opportunities and privileges than those entrusted to other nations. Consequently the punishment for their sin would be proportionately more severe and more conspicuous than that which God had inflicted or would inflict on any other nation.
