Ezekiel 36:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:19

And I scattered them among the Heathen
First by the Chaldeans, in the various provinces of Babylon; and next by the Romans, in the various parts of the world; and in this condition they now are: and they were dispersed through the countries;
or blown about as chaff, stubble, or any such like thing, is by the wind: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them;
condemned and punished them as their evil ways and wicked works deserved, according to the rules of justice and equity; so that no injustice was done them, nor could any fault be justly found in the proceedings of God towards them.
