Ezekiel 6:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:10

And they shall know that I [am] the Lord
As in ( Ezekiel 6:7 ) ; [and that] I have not said in vain;
either within himself, in his own purposes and decrees; so the Targum,

``I have not in vain decreed in my word;''

or by the mouth of the prophets: that I would do this evil unto them;
in carrying them captive, and dispersing them in other lands; for this is not the evil of sin, but the evil of punishment, or of affliction.

Ezekiel 6:10 In-Context

8 “But I will let a few of my people escape destruction, and they will be scattered among the nations of the world.

9 Then when they are exiled among the nations, they will remember me. They will recognize how hurt I am by their unfaithful hearts and lustful eyes that long for their idols. Then at last they will hate themselves for all their detestable sins.

10 They will know that I alone am the LORD and that I was serious when I said I would bring this calamity on them.

11 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Clap your hands in horror, and stamp your feet. Cry out because of all the detestable sins the people of Israel have committed. Now they are going to die from war and famine and disease.

12 Disease will strike down those who are far away in exile. War will destroy those who are nearby. And anyone who survives will be killed by famine. So at last I will spend my fury on them.
