Ezekiel 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:

Ezekiel 5:13 In-Context

11 "Therefore, as I live"-[this is] the declaration of the Lord God -"I am going to cut [you] off and show [you] no pity, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable practices and abominations. Yes, I will not spare [you].

12 One third of your people will die by plague and be consumed by famine within you; one third will fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter one third to every direction of the wind, and I will draw a sword [to chase] after them.

13 When My anger is spent and I have vented My wrath on them, I will be appeased. Then, after I have spent My wrath on them, they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken in My jealousy.

14 "I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of everyone who passes by.

15 So you will be a disgrace and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken.
