What does Ezekiel 6:1 mean?

Adam Clarke's Commentary

Introduction

In this chapter, which forms a distinct section, the prophet denounces the judgments of God against the Jews for their idolatry, Eze 6:1-7; but tells them that a remnant shall be saved, and brought to a sense of their sins by their severe afflictions, Eze 6:8-14.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Ezekiel 6:1-7
The Divine judgments for idolatry. (Ezek 6:1-7) A remnant shall be saved. (Ezek 6:8-10) The calamities are to be lamented. (Ezek 6:11-14) Verses 1-7 . War desolates persons, places, and things esteemed most sacred. God ruins idolatries even by the hands of idolaters. It is just with God to make that a desolation, which we make an idol. The superstitions to which many trust for safety, often cause their ruin. And the day is at hand, when idols and idolatry will be as thoroughly destroyed from the professedly Christian church as they were from among the Jews.

1 The judgment of Israel for their idolatry.
8 A remnant shall be blessed.
11 The faithful are exhorted to lament their abominations and calamities.

And the word.This is a new prophecy, and was probably given after the 430 days of his lying on his left and right side were accomplished. By Israel here Judea is simply meant; not the ten tribes, who had long before been carried captive.
