Ezekiel 9:10

Ezekiel 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 9:10

And as for me also
As they have not spared the poor and the needy, the widow and the fatherless, but have perverted their judgment, and shed innocent blood: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will
recompence their way upon their head;
deal with them by the law of retaliation, and reward them according to their deserts; see ( Ezekiel 7:4 ) .
