Ezekiel 21:32 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 21:32

Thou shalt be for fuel for the fire
Easily consumed, as briers and thorns cast into a furnace; such are wicked men to the fire of God's wrath: thy blood shall be in the midst of the land;
such large numbers shall be slain everywhere, that the land shall flow with the blood of them; who shall lie unburied, and rot, and putrefy upon the ground: thou shalt be no more remembered;
but lie in everlasting oblivion, as they do to this day; the name of an Ammonite being nowhere mentioned and heard of: for I the Lord have spoken it;
who never alters the thing that is gone out of his lips; and sooner shall heaven and earth pass away than one word of his. The Targum is,

``for I the Lord have decreed by my word;''
and his counsel shall stand, and every purpose and resolution of his shall be accomplished.
