But those who cleave to their abominations shall receive the recompense of their ways there is no peace saith the Lord to the wicked (Isaiah 48:22).

The language "whose heart walketh after the heart oftheir detestable things" is without parallel or meaning; elsewhere it is: whose heart walketh after their idols (ch. Ezekiel 20:16; Ezekiel 33:31, after their covetousness). A different class of persons is referred to from those spoken of in Ezekiel 11:17, either the population in Jerusalem or more naturally those in general who follow idols. The text requires some amendment: but as for those whose heart goeth after their detestable things … their way will I recompense.

Ezekiel 11:22. The manifestation of Jehovah rises from over the city and moves eastward to the Mount of Olives. The city is abandoned by Jehovah (Hosea 5:15). The prophet does not pursue the movement further. The glory passes out by the eastern gate, by which also it returns into the new temple (ch. Ezekiel 43:1-4). The prophet is carried back by the spirit to the captivity; to which he narrates all he had seen.
