George Leo Haydock, on Ezek 5:10

“Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers: and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter thy whole remnant into every wind.”

“Fathers. This is not specified in history. Famine prevailed, 4 Kings xxv. 3.; and we find something similar, Lamentations iv. 10., (Calmet) and Baruch ii. (Worthington) — It is probable, therefore, that these threats were realized. (Theodoret) (Deuteronomy xxviii. 53.) — Scatter. Literally, “winnow.” (Haydock) — The Jewish nation was never again all together in the promised land.”
