Ezequiel 11:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:12

And ye shall know that I [am] the Lord
(See Gill on Ezekiel 11:10); for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments;

13 Y sucedió que mientras yo profetizaba, Pelatías, hijo de Benaía, murió. Entonces caí sobre mi rostro, y clamé a gran voz y dije: ¡Ah, Señor DIOS! ¿Vas a acabar por completo con el remanente de Israel?
14 Entonces vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo:
