I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
I'm the LORD, and when I say something's going to happen, it's happening. I'm not changing my mind, I'm not backing down, and I'm not going easy on you. You're going to face exactly what your choices and actions deserve, that's a promise from the Lord GOD.
God doesn't make empty threats, your actions have real consequences.
