Ezekiel 5

v.1

“Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor to shave your head and your beard. Then take a set of scales and divide up the hair.

If an Israelite priest shaved his head, he was defiled and no longer holy to the Lord (Lev 21:5). Ezekiel defiled and humiliated himself as a symbol of the humiliationof the people of Judah who were defiled and no longer holy to the Lord.

v.9

Because of all your detestable idols, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.

God hates idols.

v.11

Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your vile images and detestable practices, I myself will withdraw my favor; I will look on you with pity or spare you.
