8Soon I will pour out my fury on you and unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins. 9I will turn my eyes away and show no pity. I will repay you for all your detestable sins. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is striking the blow. “The day of judgment is here; your destruction awaits!

Commentaries on Ezekiel 7:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Behold the day - The same words are repeated, sometimes varied, and pressed on the attention with new figures and new circumstances, in order to alarm this infatuated people.
