Ezekiel 24:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

This verse scarce hath its like I think in the book of God, so fully doth it ratify and confirm all, and prevents all their evasions. I the Lord have spoken it: this is Ezekiel's saying, Nay, it is the Lord that hath spoken it. It shall come to pass. But perhaps it may not be. Yea, but it shall; for I will do it, who have spoken it. I will not go back. But God hath relaxed, as in Nineveh's case. But he will not go back from this word. Neither will I spare. But he will be merciful in the midst of judgment. Nay, but God will not spare, or mitigate his wrath. Neither will I repent. Yet, ere all are consumed will he not, as Amos 7:3 ? No, he will not repent, your burnt flesh and city shall be a spiced sacrifice pleasing to his justice. Finally, as thou deservest, God will use thee. But then we shall be in his hand. Nay, they, thy inveterate enemies, shall judge thee.
