Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Ezekiel 12:14

I will scatter toward every wind. — The people of Judah were not carried captive to Babylon only, but many of them were scattered wherever they could find refuge; and, finally, the remnant left in the land by Nebuchadnezzar, after the murder of his governor Gedaliah, escaped into Egypt (Jeremiah 41-43).
