Yechezkel 5:13

Yechezkel 5:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 5:13

Thus shall mine anger be accomplished
Finished, perfected, consummated, by bringing the above judgments upon them, pestilence, famine, and sword, and by scattering them to every wind: what had been threatened long, and only some drops of it were let fall in times past, now was poured forth to the uttermost: and I will cause my fury to rest upon them;
to continue and abide upon them, and not move, at least for the space of threescore and ten years; see ( Zechariah 1:12 ) ; and I will be comforted;
by taking vengeance on them; so satisfying his justice, and easing him of his enemies; see ( Isaiah 1:24 ) ; a speech after the manner of men; who, when they have been affronted, and have avenged themselves, are easy in their minds, and satisfied: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken [it] in my zeal;
that is, they shall find by experience that what the Lord had spoken by his prophets, and had threatened to bring upon them, was said in earnest, and arose from a jealousy for his own glory; this will be a clear case, and out of question: when I have accomplished my fury in them;
by the utter destruction of them; as follows:

Yechezkel 5:13 In-Context

11 Therefore, as I live, saith Adonoi Hashem; Surely, because thou hast made My Mikdash tameh with all thy shikkutzim, and with all thine to’avot, therefore will I also withdraw; neither shall Mine eye pity, neither will I spare.
12 A third part of thee shall die by dever, and by ra’av shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the cherev all around thee; and I will scatter a third part into kol ruach, and I will draw out a cherev after them.
13 Thus shall Mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause My chemah to be satisfied against them, and I will be avenged: and they shall know that I Hashem have spoken in My kinah, when I have accomplished My chemah against them.
14 Moreover I will make thee a ruin, and a cherpah among the Goyim that are all around thee, before the eyes of all that pass by.
15 So it shall be a cherpah (reproach) and a gedufah (taunt), a musar and a meshammah (astonishment, object of horror) unto the Goyim that are all around thee, when I shall execute shefatim (judgments) on thee in anger and in chemah and in tokhchot chemah (furious rebukes). I Hashem have spoken.
