Ezekiel 7 3 Bonus section
The phrase "My eyes will not spare, nor will I pity" (Hebrew: עיני לא יחמלו ולא אנקום - einai lo yachmalu v’lo anekom, though the text reads ולא ינוס לך) powerfully conveys God's full resolve. It echoes sentiments in Deuteronomy 13:8 and 28:63, where similar phrases are used to describe the complete destruction due to disobedience. The "eyes" of God not sparing, even though anthropomorphic, speaks to His omniscience and His perfect knowledge of their sins, which moves Him to act without leniency in this specific instance of judgment, not out of malice, but out of justice against deep-seated rebellion. The finality also sets a theological precedent, illustrating that covenant blessings carry covenant curses for prolonged disobedience.
Ezekiel 7 3 Commentary
Ezekiel 7:3 is a stark pronouncement of the irreversible finality of God's judgment upon Israel. The repetition of "upon you" and "in you" underscores that the totality of destruction will be contained within the land. God's "eyes" looking upon this judgment signify His active and complete involvement in its execution. The explicit denial of pity and escape emphasizes the severe and unmitigated nature of this divine retribution for the nation's unfaithfulness. It is a moment where God’s justice is paramount.
