And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity, &c.] Though the punishment will be heavy, and the lamentation will be great; (see <260511>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.
