Ezekiel 7:8

8 Now anon I shall shed out mine ire on thee, and I shall [ful]fill my strong vengeance in thee; and I shall deem thee by thy ways, and I shall put to thee all thy great trespasses. (Now at once I shall pour out my anger upon thee, and I shall fulfill my strong vengeance upon thee; and I shall judge thee by thy ways, and I shall put to thee all thy great trespasses.)

Ezekiel 7:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:8

Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee
It might be very well said to be shortly, or near at hand, that the Lord would bring down his judgments upon this people; since it was some time in the sixth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity that this prophecy was delivered; and it was in the ninth year that Nebuchadnezzar came up against Jerusalem; so that it was but about three years before God would begin to pour out his fury on them: and accomplish mine anger upon thee;
not only send it, and begin to express it, but go on to finish it, till he had spent all his fury upon them he meant and threatened, and their sins deserved: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will recompense thee
for all thine abominations;
which is repeated from ( Ezekiel 7:3 ) , for the confirmation of it, and to show the certainty of it, that nothing would prevent it.

7 Sorrow cometh [up]on thee, that dwellest in the land (who livest in the land); the time cometh, the day of slaying is nigh, and not of (the) glory of hills.
8 Now anon I shall shed out mine ire on thee, and I shall [ful]fill my strong vengeance in thee; and I shall deem thee by thy ways, and I shall put to thee all thy great trespasses. (Now at once I shall pour out my anger upon thee, and I shall fulfill my strong vengeance upon thee; and I shall judge thee by thy ways, and I shall put to thee all thy great trespasses.)
9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither I shall do mercy; but I shall put on thee thy ways, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know, that I am the Lord smiting. (And my eye shall not spare thee, nor shall I have any mercy on thee; but I shall put upon thee thy ways, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know, that I am the Lord who striketh.)
10 Lo! the day, lo! it cometh; sorrow is gone out. A rod flowered, pride burgeoned,
