Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 7:9

"And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, do smite." — Ezekiel 7:9 (ASV)

The Lord that smites. — In Ezekiel 7:4 it is only said, Ye shall know that I am the LORD, without saying in what respect; here this is specified—they shall know that God is a God of judgment, and that these calamities are from Him.
