Ezekiel 16:50

And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

They were haughty - puffed up with prosperity.

And committed, abomination before me. Compare the phrase "sinners before the Lord exceedingly" (); said of those whose sin is so heinous as to cry out to God for immediate judgments; presumptuous sins, daring God to the face (; ).

I took them away - with "brimstone and fire from the Lord" ().

As I saw good - rather, 'according to what I saw;' referring to , where God says, "I will go down, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it which is come unto me."
