Ezekiel 7:9

9 I won't look the other way, I won't feel sorry for you. I'll make you pay for the way you've lived. Your disgusting obscenities will boomerang on you. Then you'll realize that it is I, God, who has hit you.

Ezekiel 7:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:9

And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity
This verse is the same with ( Ezekiel 7:4 ) ; only instead of "I will recompense thy ways upon thee", here it is, I will recompense thee according to thy ways upon thee and thine
abominations [that] are in the midst of thee;
which have both the same sense, showing the equity and justice of the divine proceedings: and to the clause, it is added, and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord that smiteth;
with the rod of his anger, inflicts punishment for sin. The Syriac version is, "that smiteth them"; the Jews, by suffering them to be carried captive: and so the Targum,

``I am the Lord that bringeth upon you a smiting,''

or the blow; the sense is, that when it came, they should be sensible that it was the Lord's doing. (See Gill on Ezekiel 7:4).
