Ezekiel 7:4

And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity ,.... Though the punishment will be heavy, and the lamentation will be great; see Ezekiel 5:11 ;

but I will recompense thy ways upon thee ; the evil of punishment for the evil of sin, the righteous demerit of their actions:

and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee ; 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 ye 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.
