Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 5:9

9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations .

Though the old World perisht by Water and the Judgment was greater in its extent, and Sodom destroyed by Fire, yet neither one or other was so lingring a death. These poor Jews were long dying and felt themselves dying. Read the Lamentations as Commentary on this Text▪ or Iosephus Wars of the Jews. Though in the Siege of Samaria Women Eat their Children, yet the City was not taken, sackt and burnt as Ierusalem was after a long siege.

No doubt God keeps his word though we should not be able to shew how. And though the siege of Ierusalem under Vespasian was grievous, yet not in every thing equal with this, the Romans were not so cruel to the Jews.

Their sins were abominations, and God delivers them into the hands of men that did hate, loath, and abhor the Jews so much that they thought they could not be cruel enough against them.
