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 been acting cruelly, taking men's goods by force; they have been hard on the poor and those in need, and have done wrong to the man from a strange land.

30 And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.

31 And I let loose my passion on them, and have put an end to them in the fire of my wrath: I have made the punishment of their ways come on their heads, says the Lord.
