Ezekiel 9:9
_ _ exceeding — literally, “very, very”; doubled.
_ _ perverseness — “apostasy” [Grotius]; or, “wresting aside of justice.”
_ _ Lord ... forsaken ... earth ... seeth not — The order is reversed from Ezekiel 8:12. There they speak of His neglect of His people in their misery; here they go farther and deny His providence (Psalms 10:11), so that they may sin fearlessly. God, in answer to Ezekiel’s question (Ezekiel 9:8), leaves the difficulty unsolved; He merely vindicates His justice by showing it did not exceed their sin: He would have us humbly acquiesce in His judgments, and wait and trust. |
Ezekiel 9:9
Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of (k) blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
(k) That is, with all kinds of wickedness. See Isaiah 1:15 |
