Ezekiel 15:8

And I will make the land desolate ,.... The land of Judea uncultivated, men and beast being cut off; see Ezekiel 14:15 ;

because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God ; acted a treacherous and perfidious part; apostatized from God, having committed idolatry, which was the cause of their ruin; and therefore it was not without a cause that the Lord did what he did, in it; see Ezekiel 14:23 .
