Both the righteous and the wicked in Jerusalem will be slain. Babylon will draw a sharp and bright sword against Israel and will prevail. Ezekiel catalogs the sins of the people of Judah in Jerusalem. They will be scattered and destroyed for their iniquities. Two sisters, Samaria and Jerusalem, committed whoredoms by worshiping idols. Both are destroyed for their lewdness. The irrevocable judgment of Jerusalem is foretold. As a sign to the Jews, Ezekiel does not weep at his wife’s death.
