exceeding--literally, "very, very"; doubled.
perverseness--"apostasy" [GROTIUS]; or, "wresting aside of justice."
Lord . . . forsaken . . . earth . . . seeth not--The order is reversed from Eze 8:12. There they speak of His neglect of His people in their misery; here they go farther and deny His providence (Psa 10:11), so that they may sin fearlessly. God, in answer to Ezekiel's question (Eze 9:8), leaves the difficulty unsolved; He merely vindicates His justice by showing it did not exceed their sin: He would have us humbly acquiesce in His judgments, and wait and trust. |

For they say, The Lords hath forsaken the earth - את הארץ eth haarets, "this land." He has no more place in Israel; he has quite abandoned it; he neither sees nor cares, and he can be no longer the object of worship to any man in Israel. This seems to be the meaning; and God highly resents it, because it was bringing him on a level with idols and provincial deities, who had, according to supposition, regency only in some one place. |
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying [05221] them, and I was left [07604], that I fell [05307] upon my face [06440], and cried [02199], and said [0559], Ah [0162] Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! wilt thou destroy [07843] all the residue [07611] of Israel [03478] in thy pouring out [08210] of thy fury [02534] upon Jerusalem [03389]?
11 He hath said [0559] in his heart [03820], God [0410] hath forgotten [07911]: he hideth [05641] his face [06440]; he will never [05331] see [07200] it.
12 Then said [0559] he unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], hast thou seen [07200] what the ancients [02205] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] do [06213] in the dark [02822], every man [0376] in the chambers [02315] of his imagery [04906]? for they say [0559], The LORD [03068] seeth [07200] us not; the LORD [03068] hath forsaken [05800] the earth [0776].
