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 "'"Nevertheless, I will leave a remnant, some who will escape the sword among the nations, when you have been scattered throughout the countries.

9 Those of you who escape will remember me among the nations where they have been exiled. How broken I have been over their whoring hearts that left me, and over their eyes that went whoring after their idols! They are going to loathe themselves for all the evils they committed in their disgusting practices.

10 Then they will know that I am ADONAI; it isn't for nothing that I said I would bring this calamity upon them."'

11 "Here is what Adonai ELOHIM says: 'Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and bemoan all the terrible disgusting practices of the house of Isra'el. For they will fall by sword, famine and plague.

12 Those far away will die from the plague, those nearby will fall by the sword, and whoever stays and is besieged will die from famine. This is how I will spend my fury on them.
