8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Ah, Adonoi Hashem! Wilt Thou destroy kol She’erit Yisroel in Thy pouring out of Thy chemah (wrath, fury) upon Yerushalayim?

Yechezkel 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.

Yechezkel 9:8 In-Context

6 Slay utterly zaken (old man) and bochur (young man), betulah, little children, and nashim; but come not near any ish upon whom is the TAV; and begin at My Mikdash. Then they began with the anashim hazekenim which were before the Beis [HaMikdash][1K 4:17].

7 And He said unto them, Make the Beis [HaMikdash] tameh, and fill the khatzerot (coutyards) with chalalim (slain ones); go ye forth. And they went forth, and slaughtered in the Ir.

8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Ah, Adonoi Hashem! Wilt Thou destroy kol She’erit Yisroel in Thy pouring out of Thy chemah (wrath, fury) upon Yerushalayim?

9 Then He said unto me, The avon Bais Yisroel and Yehudah is exceeding great, and HaAretz is full of damim, and the Ir full of injustice; for they say, Hashem hath forsaken Ha’Aretz, and Hashem seeth not.

10 And as for Me, Mine eye shall show no pity, neither will I spare, but I will recompense their derech upon their rosh.
