Contextual Overview

5 But to the others I heard Him say, "Go through the city after him, and destroy. Do not let your eye have pity. And do not let any sinner go without punishment. 6 Kill and destroy old men, young men, young women, little children, and women. But do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at My holy house." So they started with the leaders who were in front of the Lord's house. 7 He said to them, "Make the house of worship unclean and fill the open spaces with the dead. Go out!" So they went out and killed the people in the city. 8 As they were killing, I alone was left, and I fell on my face and cried out, "It is bad, O Lord God! Are You destroying all the people of Israel who are left, by pouring out Your anger on Jerusalem?" 9 Then He said to me, "The sin of the people of Israel and Judah is very, very bad. The land is filled with blood, and the city is full of wrong-doing. For they say, ‘The Lord has left the land, and the Lord does not see.' 10 But as for Me, My eye will have no pity, and I will not leave any sinner without punishment. I will bring their wrong-doing upon their own heads." 11 Then I saw the man dressed in linen, who had the things for writing at his side, come and say, "I have done just as You have told 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.
