Ezekiel 7:4

4 I will not look on you with pity or spare [you], but I will punish you for your ways and for your abominations within you. Then you will know that I am the Lord."

Ezekiel 7:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:4

And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity,
&c.] Though the punishment will be heavy, and the lamentation will be great; see ( Ezekiel 5:11 ) ; but I will recompense thy ways upon thee;
the evil of punishment for the evil of sin, the righteous demerit of their actions: and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee;
not taken away, unatoned for, and indeed not repented of. The Targum is,

``and the punishment of thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee:''

and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord;
to whom vengeance belongs; who takes notice of sinful actions, and punishes for them; to whom appertain the perfections of omniscience, omnipotence, and punitive justice.

Ezekiel 7:4 In-Context

2 "Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.

3 The end is now on you; I will send My anger against you and judge you according to your ways. I will punish you for all your abominations.

4 I will not look on you with pity or spare [you], but I will punish you for your ways and for your abominations within you. Then you will know that I am the Lord."

5 This is what the Lord God says: Look, one disaster after another is coming!

6 An end has come; the end has come! It has awakened against you. Look, it is coming!
