"And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah." — Ezekiel 7:4 (ASV)
And mine eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity , &c.] Though the punishment will be heavy, and the lamentation will be great; see (Ezekiel 5:11) ;
but I will recompense your ways upon you ; the evil of punishment for the evil of sin, the righteous demerit of their actions:
and your abominations shall be in the midst of you ; not taken away, unatoned for, and indeed not repented of. The Targum is, ``and the punishment of thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee:''
and you shall know that I [am] the Lord ; to whom vengeance belongs; who takes notice of sinful actions, and punishes for them; to whom appertain the perfections of omniscience, omnipotence, and punitive justice.
