As for me, my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will bring their deeds upon their heads.”
God says He will not spare them because their impiety has mounted to heaven itself, forcing His hand to vengeance, they have shut the door of mercy against themselves by relentless provocation. We must not weigh His judgments by our own scale; we extenuate our sins and call grave wickedness slight error because we deny God His office as sole Judge.
AI summary
When God has gathered His wheat into His garner, nothing remains but to burn up the chaff. Sin provokes the God of infinite mercy to such severity that even the innocent fall; what an evil thing it is, then, that men will not repent and prevent their own ruin.

Commenting on Ezekiel 9:5-11
As they refused mercy to the poor, widow, and fatherless, shedding innocent blood without restraint, so God will show them no pity and no sparing. He repays them by the law of retaliation, rewarding each according to his deserts.
