God's Unmistakable Warning
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse clarifies the previous, more symbolic prophecy against 'the south' (Ezekiel 20:46). God now explicitly names 'Jerusalem,' 'the sanctuaries,' and 'the land of Israel' as the targets. This removes any ambiguity and leaves the people with no excuse for misunderstanding the coming judgment.
