John Trapp on Ezekiel 5:13

Ver. 13. Then ſhall mine anger be accompliſhed] God is then ſaid to be angry, when he doth what men do when angry, viz. 1. Chide. 2. Smite.

And I will be comforted] This alſo is ſpoken after the manner of men, who are much comforted when they can be avenged: Their ſong is, Oh how ſweet is revenge! Virgil.— animumque explêſſe juvabit. The ſame word in Hebrew that ſignifieth vengeance, ſignifieth comfort alſo: for God, wll be comforted in the execution of his wrath. But what a venomous and vile thing is ſin, that cauſeth the moſt merciful God to take comfort in the deſtruction of his creature?

And they ſhall know that I the Lord have ſpoken it in my zeale] That is, ſeriouſly threatened by my Prophets, whom they have vilipended, and derided, but ſhall now feel the weight of their words.

When I have accompliſhed my fury in them] This he doth not uſually all at once, but by degrees: he ſuffereth not his whole wrath to ariſe till there be no remedy, as 2 Chron. 36.16.
