Ezechiele 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 9:8

And it came to pass, while they were slaying them
That were in the city: and I was left;
in the temple; and the only one that was left there, the rest were slain; for there were none marked in the temple, only in the city, ( Ezekiel 9:4 ) ; that I fell upon my face;
as a supplicant, with great humility: and cried, and said;
being greatly distressed with this awful providence: ah, Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel;
the ten tribes had been carried captive before; there only remained the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and these were now threatened with an utter destruction: in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
shown in the destruction of men, both in the city and temple, by famine, pestilence, and sword.

Ezechiele 9:8 In-Context

6 Uccidete ad esterminio vecchi, e giovani, e vergini, e piccoli fanciulli, e donne; ma non vi accostate ad alcuno, sopra cui sia il segno; e cominciate dal mio santuario. Essi adunque cominciarono da quegli uomini anziani, ch’erano davanti alla Casa.
7 Ed egli disse loro: Contaminate la Casa, ed empiete d’uccisi i cortili. Poi disse loro: Uscite. Ed essi uscirono, e andavano percotendo per la città.
8 E come essi andavano percotendo, io rimasi quivi solo, e caddi sopra la mia faccia, e gridai, e dissi: Oimè lasso, Signore Iddio! distruggi tu tutto il rimanente d’Israele, spandendo la tua ira sopra Gerusalemme?
9 Ed egli mi rispose: L’iniquità della casa d’Israele, e di Giuda, è oltre modo grande; e il paese è pieno di sangue, e la città è piena di sviamento; perciocchè hanno detto: Il Signore ha abbandonato il paese, e il Signore non vede nulla.
10 Perciò, l’occhio mio non perdonerà, ed io non risparmierò; io renderò loro la lor via in sul capo.
