Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Ezekiel 11:6

Ye have multiplied your slain. — Crimes of violence, as well as of licentiousness, are always the fruit of defection from God. In this case the apostacy of the people had produced its natural result; and the abundant crimes against life formed a prominent feature of the terrible indictment against the city.
