יחזקאל, פרק כ״ב, פסוק ל״א

The final judgment against the people arrives as an absolute and direct response to their actions. The primary approach among commentators is that the message is straightforward and speaks for itself, showing how God brings destruction upon the nation as an unavoidable result of their behavior. Driven by intense anger and fury, God unleashes a fire of judgment that leads to their complete annihilation.

Rather than an arbitrary punishment, this destruction is a matter of direct retribution. God takes the evil the people committed and brings the consequences of those choices crashing down upon them. He ensures that they directly experience the outcome of their own wicked paths, returning the exact measure of their deeds upon their own heads.
