Ezekiel 15:7

go out fromone fire Rather: they have come out of the fire, but the fire shall devour them. They are in the condition of a brand that has been plucked for a moment from the fire (Ezekiel 15:4), but they shall be plunged again into it to be burnt. Only scathed and charred as yet, they shall be wholly consumed.

Iam the Lord The object of these chastisements is that they may know that he who inflicts them is Jehovah, and what Jehovah is; and this shall be the result of them.
