Ezekiel 21:32

32 You'll end up as stove-wood. Corpses will litter your land. Not so much as a memory will be left of you. I, God, have said so.'"

Ezekiel 21:32 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 21:32

Thou shalt be for fuel for the fire
Easily consumed, as briers and thorns cast into a furnace; such are wicked men to the fire of God's wrath: thy blood shall be in the midst of the land;
such large numbers shall be slain everywhere, that the land shall flow with the blood of them; who shall lie unburied, and rot, and putrefy upon the ground: thou shalt be no more remembered;
but lie in everlasting oblivion, as they do to this day; the name of an Ammonite being nowhere mentioned and heard of: for I the Lord have spoken it;
who never alters the thing that is gone out of his lips; and sooner shall heaven and earth pass away than one word of his. The Targum is,

``for I the Lord have decreed by my word;''
and his counsel shall stand, and every purpose and resolution of his shall be accomplished.

Ezekiel 21:32 In-Context

30 Return the sword to the sheath! I'll judge you in your home country, in the land where you grew up.
31 I'll empty out my wrath on you, breathe hot anger down your neck. I'll give you to vicious men skilled in torture.
32 You'll end up as stove-wood. Corpses will litter your land. Not so much as a memory will be left of you. I, God, have said so.'"
