Ezekiel 9:8

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

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, Eze 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?
