Ezek 9:8
Then it came about as they were striking and I alone was left, that I fell on my face and cried out saying, "Alas, Lord GOD! Art Thou destroying the whole remnant of Israel by pouring out Thy wrath on Jerusalem?"

Ezek 9:9
Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is full of perversion; for they say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see!'

The people in Israel had been saying that Elohim does not see them and they engaged in all kinds of idolatry and perversion. Moses warned that they would do this.

Deut 31:29 “For I know that after my death you will act corruptly and turn from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days, for you will do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of your hands.”

Ezek 9:10
"But as for Me, My eye will have no pity nor shall I spare, but I shall bring their conduct upon their heads."

Elohim will have justice. His righteousness will not be denied. Those who defy Him will be crushed and sin will be judged.
In chapter 9, the glory of the Father prepares to leave the temple. The glory of Elohim dwelt between the cherubim on the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies. In chapter 10, the glory of the Father leaves the Temple because of the sin of the people.

Elohim takes sin in His people very seriously. Our sin will drive a wedge between us and Him. May He continually draw us closer to Him and His ways.
