Context of Ezekiel 9:11
9Then he said to me, "The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice. For they say, 'The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see.' 10As for me, my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will bring their deeds upon their heads."
