The Pulpit Commentary on Ezekiel 9:8

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

I fell upon my face, etc. The ministers of vengeance and the prophet were left in the courts of the temple alone. His human, national sympathies led him, as they led Moses (Numbers 11:2; Numbers 14:19) and St.

Paul (Romans 9:1-3) to undertake the work of intercession. With the words which had been the keynote of Isaiah's prophecies, probably present to his thoughts (Isaiah 37:32, et al.), he asks whether Jehovah will indeed destroy all that remnant of Israel (comp.

Ezekiel 11:13) who might be as the germ of hope for the future.
