Contextual Overview

5 To the others I heard him say, "Go through the city after him and strike! Don't let your eye spare; have no pity! 6 Kill old men, young men, girls, little children, women — slaughter them all! But don't go near anyone with the mark. Begin at my sanctuary." They began with the leaders in front of the house. 7 Then he said to them, "Defile the house! Fill the courtyards with corpses! Get going!" So they went out, spreading death in the city. 8 While the killing was going on, I was left alone. I fell on my face, cried, and said, "Oh, Adonai Elohim ! In pouring out your fury on Yerushalayim, are you going to destroy everyone left in Isra'el?" 9 Then he said to me, "The wickedness of the house of Isra'el and Y'hudah is enormous, the land is full of blood, and the city is full of justice denied; because they say, ‘ Adonai has left the land, Adonai doesn't see.' 10 But as far as I am concerned, my eye will not spare, and I will have no pity, but I will bring [the consequences of] their ways on their own heads." 11 At this point the man clothed in linen with the writing equipment at his waist returned and reported, "I have done everything you ordered me to do."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as for me also,.... As they have not spared the poor and the needy, the widow and the fatherless, but have perverted their judgment, and shed innocent blood:

mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompence their way upon their head; deal with them by the law of retaliation, and reward them according to their deserts; see Ezekiel 7:4.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 9:10. Mine eye shall not spare — They say, the Lord seeth not: this is false; I have seen all their iniquities, and do see all their abominations; and I will bring deserved judgment upon them, and then that eye which now sees will neither pity nor spare.
