10 So I will not look on them with pity or spare them, but I will bring down on their own heads what they have done."
10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
10 As for me, my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will bring their deeds upon their heads."
10 Well, I do see, and I'm not feeling sorry for any of them. They're going to pay for what they've done."
10 And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds on their own head."
10 So I will not spare them or have any pity on them. I will fully repay them for all they have done."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 9:10
Commentary on Ezekiel 9:5-11
(Read Ezekiel 9:5-11)
The slaughter must begin at the sanctuary, that all may see and know that the Lord hates sin most in those nearest to him. He who was appointed to protect, reported the matter. Christ is faithful to the trust reposed in him. Is he commanded by his Father to secure eternal life to the chosen remnant? He says, Of all that thou hast given me, I have lost none. If others perish, and we are saved, we must ascribe the difference wholly to the mercy of our God, for we too have deserved wrath. Let us still continue to plead in behalf of others. But where the Lord shows no mercy he does no injustice; he only recompenses men's ways.
