Ezekiel 7:9

7:9 My eye will not pity you; I will not spare ¹  you. For your behavior I will hold you accountable, ²  and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is striking you. ³ 

Ezekiel 7:27

7:27 The king will mourn and the prince will be clothed with shuddering; the hands of the people of the land will tremble. Based on their behavior I will deal with them, and by their standard of justice ⁴  I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the Lord!”

¹ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

² tn Heb “According to your behavior I will place on you.”

³ tn The MT lacks “you.” It has been added for clarification.

⁴ tn Heb “and by their judgments.”
