SCRIPTURE

"I, Jehovah, have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah." — Ezekiel 24:14 (ASV)

I the Lord have spoken it; it shall come to pass What God has said shall be accomplished; his word shall not return void and empty, or be without effect:

and I will do it ; being God omnipotent and unchangeable:

I will not go back ; from his word, or the thing threatened and denounced; nothing should prevail upon him to act such a part:

neither will I spare ; show any mercy or compassion, or abate of the punishment due:

neither will I repent ; or change the course and method of Providence; but abide by the decree gone forth, and the sentence pronounced, and thoroughly execute it; a heap of words ascertaining the truth of what is predicted:

according to your ways and according to your doings shall they judge you, says the Lord God ; that is, the Chaldeans shall judge and condemn you, and execute my judgments on you in a just and righteous manner, as your evil ways and works deserve.
