That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath, &c.] The same with kindling a fire in Judea, (see Gill on “<262048>Ezekiel 20:48”): it shall not return any more; that is, into its sheath, until it has done all its work; meaning that the Chaldean army should not return to their own land until they had executed the whole will of God upon the Jews; this is the fire that should not be quenched, (<262048>Ezekiel 20:48) and here ends the explanation of the said prophecy.
