Ezekiel 6:10

10 et scient quia ego Dominus non frustra locutus sum ut facerem eis malum hoc

Ezekiel 6:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:10

And they shall know that I [am] the Lord
As in ( Ezekiel 6:7 ) ; [and that] I have not said in vain;
either within himself, in his own purposes and decrees; so the Targum,

``I have not in vain decreed in my word;''

or by the mouth of the prophets: that I would do this evil unto them;
in carrying them captive, and dispersing them in other lands; for this is not the evil of sin, but the evil of punishment, or of affliction.

Ezekiel 6:10 In-Context

8 et relinquam in vobis eos qui fugerint gladium in gentibus cum dispersero vos in terris

9 et recordabuntur mei liberati vestri in gentibus ad quas captivi ducti sunt quia contrivi cor eorum fornicans et recedens a me et oculos eorum fornicantes post idola sua et displicebunt sibimet super malis quae fecerunt in universis abominationibus suis

10 et scient quia ego Dominus non frustra locutus sum ut facerem eis malum hoc

11 haec dicit Dominus Deus percute manu tua et adlide pedem tuum et dic eheu ad omnes abominationes malorum domus Israhel qui gladio fame peste ruituri sunt

12 qui longe est peste morietur qui autem prope gladio corruet et qui relictus fuerit et obsessus fame morietur et conpleam indignationem meam in eis
