Ezekiel 5:10 - Exposition

The fathers shall eat their sons, etc. An echo from Le 26:29 and Deuteronomy 28:53 . The words of Jeremiah 19:9 and Lamentations 4:10 imply that horrors such as these occurred during the siege of the city by the Chaldeans, as they had occurred before in the siege of Samaria ( 2 Kings 6:28 , 2 Kings 6:29 ), and were to occur afterwards in that by the Romans (Josephus, 'Bell Jud.,' 6.4. § 4). The whole remnant, etc. (comp. verse 2).
