my fury to rest upon them Rather: will quiet (assuage, or, appease) my fury. Zechariah 7:8, "have quieted my spirit in the North country." The phrase again, ch. Ezekiel 16:42; Ezekiel 21:17; Ezekiel 24:13.

I will be comforted i.e. appeased by the vengeance taken on the people's sins, cf. Isaiah 1:24 (the word is for hithneḥamti).

in my zeal The word, usually rendered "jealousy," expresses the heatof any passion, here resentment, ch. Ezekiel 16:38; Ezekiel 16:42; Ezekiel 23:25; Ezekiel 36:5-6; Ezekiel 38:19. Cf. ch. Ezekiel 2:5; Ezekiel 6:10; Ezekiel 24:22.
