What Does Ezekiel 11:9 Mean?
God specifies the nature of judgment: He will bring the leaders out of Jerusalem and deliver them into the hands of strangers—foreign enemies. This describes exile and captivity, the removal from their place of power and security. The term 'strangers' emphasizes their powerlessness before a foreign power outside their control or understanding.
God will also execute judgments among them, meaning He will render justice and punishment according to His righteous standard. This combines both political judgment (exile and captivity) with divine judgment (accountability for their actions). The judgment comes from God's hand through the means of foreign conquest.
