Ezekiel 11:6
βYou have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.β
What does Ezekiel 11:6 mean?
Ezekiel is relaying God's words to the people of Jerusalem, condemning the violence and injustice that has become commonplace in their city. This verse isn't describing a future punishment but rather calling out what's already happening: the streets are literally filled with victims of murder and cruelty. The repetition of "slain" emphasizes how widespread and normalized this bloodshed has become, as if the people have grown numb to the death around them. God is essentially saying, "I see what you've done, and this isn't hidden from me," which serves as a wake-up call that their society's moral collapse is visible and grievous.
