Ezekiel 12:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:20

Not only the city of Jerusalem, but the other cities of Judea; as they were by the Chaldeans, which were then full of inhabitants: and the land shall be desolate;
the whole land of Judea be destitute of men and cattle, and lie uncultivated, and become barren and unfruitful: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord;
who were then captives in Babylon, as well as those who should be dispersed among the nations would; see ( Ezekiel 12:15 Ezekiel 12:16 ) .
