Commentary on Ezekiel · Written before 420.

(Verse 8) Now I will pour out my anger upon you and vent my fury against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring upon you all your abominations. If we calculate from the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin to the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, when Nebuchadnezzar came and besieged Jerusalem, it will be three years in total. Therefore, it is rightly said: Now I will pour out my anger upon you.

Now will I shortly pour out my fury

on Ezekiel 7:8-9

Verses 8-9 repeat verses 3-4 almost word for word, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, with one addition at the close, I will recompense thee according to thy ways... and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth. Henry notes the added title, the Lord that smiteth, as the poem naming the hand behind the coming disaster rather than leaving it to chance or to Babylon's own ambition. The repetition across the chapter is itself the argument: a warning given twice in nearly the same words is a warning meant to be believed the first time and is not.
