Contextual Overview

5 And He said to those in my hearing, Pass over in the city after him and strike. Do not let your eye spare, and do not have pity. 6 Slay the aged men , the young man, and the virgin, even children, and women, all to destruction. But to every man who has the mark on him, do not come near. And begin from My sanctuary. And theybegan with the aged men who were beforethe house. 7 And He said to them, Defile the house and fill the courts with the dying. Go forth! And they went out and killed in the city. 8 And it happened as they struck, and I remained, even I. Then I fell on my face and I cried out and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in Your pouring out of Your fury on Jerusalem? 9 And He said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and of Judah is very great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is full of perversity. For they say, Jehovah has forsaken the land; and, Jehovah does not see. 10 And even I, My eye does not spare, and I will not have pity. I will put their way on their head. 11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, with the ink horn at his loins, reported the matter, saying, I have done as You commanded me.

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.
