And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
I won't look away or feel sorry for you. I'm going to let your choices catch up with you, and all the terrible things you've done will be right there with you. Then you'll finally understand who I really am, the LORD.
Your actions have consequences, and God's not going to pretend they don't.
