Ezekiel9:9
9. exceeding--literally, "very, very"; doubled.
perverseness--"apostasy" [Grotius]; or, "wresting aside of justice."
Lord ... forsaken ... earth ... seeth not--The order is reversed from Eze 8:12. There they speak of His neglect of His people in their misery; here they go farther and deny His providence (Psa 10:11), so that they may sin fearlessly. God, in answer to Ezekiel's question (Eze 9:8), leaves the difficulty unsolved; He merely vindicates His justice by showing it did not exceed their sin: He would have us humbly acquiesce in His judgments, and wait and trust.
