Ezekiel 6:9

"“‘“Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests that even amidst judgment and scattering, God promises to preserve a remnant of His people. This remnant will survive the trials and tribulations, remaining faithful while the majority falls victim to exile or destruction.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I am broken ... -Translate: “because” I have broken “their whorish heart, which hath departed from me,” and their eyes etc. Since Ezekiel is addressing the Church of God through Israel, we are to note here that the general principle of the divine administration is laid down. Sin leads to judgment, judgment to repentance, repentance to forgiveness, forgiveness to reconciliation, reconciliation to a knowledge of communion with God.
