Verse 14
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 thy ways and according to thy doings shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God ; that is, the Chaldeans shall judge and condemn thee, and execute my judgments on thee in a just and righteous manner, as thy evil ways and works deserve.
