Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 6:14

"And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Jehovah." — Ezekiel 6:14 (ASV)

More desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath. —The name Diblath does not occur elsewhere; but Diblathaim, the dual form, is mentioned in Numbers 33:46-47, Jeremiah 48:22, as a double city on the eastern border of Moab, beyond which lay the great desert which stretches from there eastward, nearly to the Euphrates. It was customary to call any wilderness by the name of the nearest town. (See 1 Samuel 23:14–15; 1 Samuel 23:24–25; 1 Samuel 25:2, and so on.) That wilderness appears from this passage to have been proverbial for its desolation.
