Ezekiel 5:10 Therefore, the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers: and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter thy whole remnant into every wind.

Fathers. This is not specified in history. Famine prevailed, 4 Kings 25:3.; and we find something similar, Lamentations 4:10., (Calmet) and Baruch 2:(Worthington) --- It is probable, therefore, that these threats were realized. (Theodoret) (Deuteronomy 28:53.) --- Scatter. Literally, "winnow." (Haydock) --- The Jewish nation was never again all together in the promised land.
