Ezekiel 22:31 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:31

Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them
Like a mighty torrent, carrying all before it: I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath;
by the sword, famine, pestilence, and captivity: their own way have I recompensed on their heads, saith the Lord;
brought just punishment upon them, such as their ways and works deserved;

``the vengeance of their way,''
as the Targum.

Ezekiel 22:31 In-Context

29 The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery: they afflicted the needy and poor, and they oppressed the stranger by calumny without judgment.
30 And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none.
31 And I poured out my indignation upon them, in the fire of my wrath I consumed them: I have rendered their way upon their own head, saith the Lord God.
