A Remnant to be Blessed
…9Then in the nations to which they have been carried captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts that turned away from Me, and by their eyes that lusted after idols. So they will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.10And they will know that I am the LORD;I did not declare in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.11This is what the Lord GOD says: Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel, who will fall by sword and famine and plague.…

Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

And they will know that I am the LORD;
This phrase emphasizes the recognition of God's sovereignty and authority. Throughout the book of Ezekiel, the repeated declaration "they will know that I am the LORD" serves as a central theme, underscoring God's desire for His people to acknowledge His power and holiness. This recognition often comes through judgment or deliverance, highlighting God's justice and mercy. The phrase echoes the covenant relationship established inExodus 6:7, where God promises to be their God and they His people, reinforcing the idea that true knowledge of God involves understanding His character and His rightful place as the sovereign ruler.

I did not declare in vain
This part of the verse assures that God's warnings and prophecies are purposeful and certain. In the context of Ezekiel, God had repeatedly warned Israel through His prophets about the consequences of their idolatry and disobedience. The phrase suggests that God's words are not empty threats but are meant to bring about repentance and transformation. It reflects the biblical principle found inIsaiah 55:11, where God's word is described as accomplishing what He desires and achieving the purpose for which He sent it.

that I would bring this calamity upon them.
The calamity refers to the impending judgment on Israel due to their persistent sin and rebellion. Historically, this judgment manifested in the Babylonian exile, a significant event where Jerusalem was destroyed, and the people were taken captive. This calamity serves as a fulfillment of the covenant curses outlined inDeuteronomy 28, where disobedience would lead to national disaster. Theologically, it underscores the seriousness of sin and the certainty of divine justice. It also foreshadows the ultimate judgment and redemption found in Christ, who bore the calamity of sin on behalf of humanity, offering restoration and hope.

The Consequences of Disobedience
Just as Israel faced calamity for their rebellion, we must be mindful of the consequences of turning away from God in our own lives.

The Certainty of God's Word
God's word is reliable and will accomplish what He intends. We should study and apply Scripture, knowing it is a firm foundation.

Hope Beyond Judgment
Even in judgment, God provides hope and a path to restoration. We should seek repentance and trust in His mercy and grace.

Acknowledging God as LORD involves recognizing His authority and submitting to His will in every aspect of our lives.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 10. -I have not said in vain, etc. The thought of that self-loathing and repentance reconciles Ezekiel to his work. To "labour in vain" is the great misery of all workers for God. A time will come when he shall see that God has not sent him to such a work "in vain." What before was dark will be made clear unto him (comp.Ezekiel 14:23). Ezekiel's words, "not in vain," are echoed frequently by St. Paul (1 Corinthians 15:14, 58;2 Corinthians 6:1;Philippians 2:16,et al.). The corresponding phrase, "I have broken their eyes," sounds strange to us; but, after all, the heart is not literally broken more than the eyes, and figuratively the same words may be applied to either, so that there is no need for supposing, with some critics, that a more appropriate verb has been dropped out. Eyes and heart were alike involved in the sin (Ezekiel 20:7, 8, 24;Numbers 15:39), and both came under the same chastisement that was to lead them to repentance.
