Ezekiel 21:17

My fury to rest. — As in Ezekiel 16:42, because it has accomplished its purpose and has nothing more to do. (Comp. Ezekiel 5:13; Ezekiel 14:13.)

At Ezekiel 21:18 the third and final prophecy of the chapter begins, and, besides being much more explicit than the others, includes also a new subject (Ezekiel 21:28), a prophecy against Ammon. Hitherto it has only been foretold that Judah shall be desolated, now it is added that this shall be effected by the king of Babylon, and that he shall also extend his conquests to the Ammonites.
