Clarke's Ezekiel 5:6 Bible Commentary
She hath changed my judgments - God shows the reason why he deals with Jerusalem in greater severity than with the surrounding nations; because she was more wicked than they. Bad and idolatrous as they were, they had a greater degree of morality among them than the Jews had. Having fallen from the true God, they became more abominable than others in proportion to the height, eminence, and glory from which they had fallen. This is the common case of backsliders; they frequently, in their fall, become tenfold more the children of wrath than they were before.
Barnes's Ezekiel 5:6 Bible Commentary
They - The inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Wesley's Ezekiel 5:6 Bible Commentary
5:6 More - More than the heathen.
