8You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.
9I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.
10You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 11The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.Cross References

Ezekiel 11:9 Summary
Ezekiel 11:9 is a warning that God will judge those who disobey Him, and He may use other nations or people to do so, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:25. This verse reminds us that our actions have consequences, and we must surrender to God's plan and will. Just like the people in Ezekiel's time, we can trust in God's sovereignty and mercy, even in difficult circumstances (Romans 8:28). By surrendering to God, we can avoid being 'delivered into the hands of foreigners' and instead, experience His love and protection (Psalm 91:4).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be delivered into the hands of foreigners?
Being delivered into the hands of foreigners, as stated in Ezekiel 11:9, means to be given over to the control and judgment of those outside of Israel, which is a fulfillment of God's judgment as seen in Deuteronomy 28:25 and Lamentations 1:5.
Why is God executing judgments against the people?
God is executing judgments against the people because of their disobedience and sin, as seen in Ezekiel 11:9, which is a consequence of their actions, similar to what is written in Proverbs 10:16 and Jeremiah 2:19.
Is this verse only talking about the city of Jerusalem?
While Ezekiel 11:9 is specifically addressing the city of Jerusalem, the principle of God's judgment can be applied to any nation or people who disobey Him, as seen in Romans 11:22 and 2 Peter 3:10-12.
How does this verse relate to God's love and mercy?
Although Ezekiel 11:9 speaks of God's judgment, it is also a demonstration of His love and mercy, as He desires to correct and restore His people, as seen in Hebrews 12:6 and Revelation 3:19.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be rebelling against God's will, and how can I surrender to His plan?
- How can I trust in God's sovereignty, even when I face uncertain or difficult circumstances, like the people in Ezekiel 11:9?
- In what ways can I demonstrate God's love and mercy to those around me, even in the midst of judgment or hardship?
- What are some spiritual 'foreigners' that I may be giving control to in my life, and how can I surrender them to God?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 11:9
And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 11:9
Though the Chaldeans are the means or instruments by which it is done, yet I will so appear against you that it shall be confessed that I did it rather than the Chaldeans. And deliver you; defeating all your projects for escape; so was Zedekiah when he secretly fled, and his company with him, delivered unto enemies and strangers. Into the hands; it denoteth a full power over them. Strangers; Babylonians and others who assisted in this war. Will execute judgments among you; strangers will use you hardly; but the most severe part of the judgment will be from a provoked God, who would have pardoned, but impenitence refused the pardon.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 11:9
Ezekiel 11:9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.Ver. 9. And I will bring you out of the midst thereof.] The same again, for better assurance. We use to do so oft when we threaten aught.
