Ezekiel 22:31 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:31

Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them
Like a mighty torrent, carrying all before it: I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath;
by the sword, famine, pestilence, and captivity: their own way have I recompensed on their heads, saith the Lord;
brought just punishment upon them, such as their ways and works deserved;

``the vengeance of their way,''

as the Targum.

Ezekiel 22:31 In-Context

29 The people cheat others and steal. They hurt people who are poor and needy. They cheat foreigners and do not treat them fairly.

31 So I let them see my anger. I destroyed them with an anger that was like fire because of all the things they have done, says the Lord God."
