Ezekiel 24:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 24:14

I the Lord have spoken it; it shall come to pass
What God has said shall be accomplished; his word shall not return void and empty, or be without effect: and I will do it;
being God omnipotent and unchangeable: I will not go back;
from his word, or the thing threatened and denounced; nothing should prevail upon him to act such a part: neither will I spare;
show any mercy or compassion, or abate of the punishment due: neither will I repent;
or change the course and method of Providence; but abide by the decree gone forth, and the sentence pronounced, and thoroughly execute it; a heap of words ascertaining the truth of what is predicted: according to thy ways and according to thy doings shall they judge
thee, saith the Lord God;
that is, the Chaldeans shall judge and condemn thee, and execute my judgments on thee in a just and righteous manner, as thy evil ways and works deserve.

Ezekiel 24:14 In-Context

12 But it’s hopeless; the corruption can’t be cleaned out. So throw it into the fire.

13 Your impurity is your lewdness and the corruption of your idolatry. I tried to cleanse you, but you refused. So now you will remain in your filth until my fury against you has been satisfied.

14 “I, the LORD, have spoken! The time has come, and I won’t hold back. I will not change my mind, and I will have no pity on you. You will be judged on the basis of all your wicked actions, says the Sovereign LORD .”

15 Then this message came to me from the LORD :

16 “Son of man, with one blow I will take away your dearest treasure. Yet you must not show any sorrow at her death. Do not weep; let there be no tears.
