Ezekiel 8:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Seest thou? dost thou observe? What they do; the inhabitants, the generality of the Jews. The great abominations; the notorious idolatries. Here; in this court, in view of my temple, and where all that come, as most did, this way to worship me see it, so shameless is it! That I should go; not that they designed this, but eventually it was so, and in all reason could be no otherwise expected. From my sanctuary; that I chose, but am not confined to. That I shall leave not by local distance, but by rejecting and casting it off, and laying it desolate.

Ezekiel 8:6

6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
