Ezekiel 24:14

14 I, God, have said it, and I'll do it. I'm not holding back. I've run out of compassion. I'm not changing my mind. You're getting exactly what's coming to you. Decree of God, the Master.'"

Ezekiel 24:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 24:14

I the Lord have spoken it; it shall come to pass
What God has said shall be accomplished; his word shall not return void and empty, or be without effect: and I will do it;
being God omnipotent and unchangeable: I will not go back;
from his word, or the thing threatened and denounced; nothing should prevail upon him to act such a part: neither will I spare;
show any mercy or compassion, or abate of the punishment due: neither will I repent;
or change the course and method of Providence; but abide by the decree gone forth, and the sentence pronounced, and thoroughly execute it; a heap of words ascertaining the truth of what is predicted: according to thy ways and according to thy doings shall they judge
thee, saith the Lord God;
that is, the Chaldeans shall judge and condemn thee, and execute my judgments on thee in a just and righteous manner, as thy evil ways and works deserve.

Ezekiel 24:14 In-Context

12 But it's hopeless. It's too far gone. The filth is too thick.
13 "'Your encrusted filth is your filthy sex. I wanted to clean you up, but you wouldn't let me. I'll make no more attempts at cleaning you up until my anger quiets down.
14 I, God, have said it, and I'll do it. I'm not holding back. I've run out of compassion. I'm not changing my mind. You're getting exactly what's coming to you. Decree of God, the Master.'"
15 God's Message came to me:
16 "Son of man, I'm about to take from you the delight of your life - a real blow, I know. But, please, no tears.
