<p class="tab-1">In this chapter we have a further, and no less terrible, denunciation of the judgments of God, which were coming with all speed and force upon the Jewish nation, which would utterly ruin it; for when God judges he will overcome. This destruction of Judah and Jerusalem is here, I. Represented by a sign, the cutting, and burning, and scattering of hair, <a class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.1-Ezek.5.4" href="/passage/?search=Ezek.5.1-Ezek.5.4">Ezek. 5:1-4</a>. II. That sign is expounded, and applied to Jerusalem. 1. Sin is charged upon Jerusalem as the cause of this desolation—contempt of God’s law (<a class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.5-Ezek.5.7" href="/passage/?search=Ezek.5.5-Ezek.5.7">Ezek. 5:5-7</a>) and profanation of his sanctuary, <a class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.11" href="/passage/?search=Ezek.5.11">Ezek. 5:11</a>. 2. Wrath is threatened, great wrath (<a class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.8-Ezek.5.10" href="/passage/?search=Ezek.5.8-Ezek.5.10">Ezek. 5:8-10</a>), a variety of miseries (<a class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.12,Ezek.5.16,Ezek.5.17" href="/passage/?search=Ezek.5.12,Ezek.5.16,Ezek.5.17"><span class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.12">Ezek. 5:12</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.16">16</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.17">17</span></a>), such as should be their reproach and ruin, <a class="bibleref" title="Ezek.5.13-Ezek.5.15" href="/passage/?search=Ezek.5.13-Ezek.5.15">Ezek. 5:13-15</a>.</p>
