Summary for Ezek 21:30-32: 21:30-32 ^c The sword would return ... to its sheath, not to rest there, but to accomplish the Lord’s judgment against its own country, Babylon. God would also pour out ... fury and the fire of his anger on Babylon. It had no special protection simply because God had used it as his tool in judging others. Judgment may have begun with God’s household (1 Pet 4:17 ^d), but it did not end there. God’s judgment included the pagan nations around Judah.
