Ezekiel 20:23

I lifted up mine hand also to them in the wilderness ,.... Swore unto them, as in Ezekiel 20:5 ;

that I would scatter them among the Heathen, and disperse them through the countries ; after they came to be settled in the land of Canaan, they sinning against the Lord; which was fulfilled in the times of the Babylonish captivity, and in their destruction by the Romans; but was threatened and foretold while they were in the wilderness, Leviticus 26:33 ; with this compare Psalm 106:26 .
