Ezekiel 20:17

¹³When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”

¹⁸“But even in those days,” says the LORD, “I will not make a full end of you.

²⁷For the LORD says, “The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.

¹⁰As for me also, my eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.”

³⁷For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant. ³⁸But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.

⁸But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness. ⁹What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.

²“You, son of man, the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.

¹⁹yet you in your manifold mercies didn’t forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud didn’t depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither did the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.

¹⁰Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’

¹⁸Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”
