Context — Judgment on Jerusalem
40They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
41Then they will burn down your houses and execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.
42So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry.
43Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this lewdness on top of all your other abominations? 44Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’Cross References

Ezekiel 16:42 Summary
[This verse, Ezekiel 16:42, is a beautiful promise that God will one day lay to rest His wrath and be calm and no longer angry with His people. This means that He will stop being angry and will no longer punish them, similar to how He showed mercy to the people of Nineveh in Jonah 3:10. When we turn to God and seek His forgiveness, He promises to turn away His anger and be at peace with us, as seen in 1 John 1:9. By trusting in God's love and mercy, we can experience His peace and calm in our lives, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.]

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 16:42
So will I make my fury towards thee to rest,.... When the Jews should cease from their idolatries, and no more worship the gods of the nations, then the fury of the Lord, and the effects of it,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 16:42
So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:42
It may admit a doubt, whether this be spoken in way of promise and kindness, or of menace and wrath. This latter seems intended, as if God said, The jealousy whereto you have provoked me will never cease till these judgments have utterly destroyed you, and cut you off, as the anger of an abused husband ceaseth in the divorce and public punishment of the adulteress. My jealousy shall depart from thee; I will no more concern myself for thee, nor be troubled at thy carriage, whatever it be, since thou art no more mine. Will be no more angry, with the anger which is in the breast of a husband troubled for and angry at the miscarriages of a wife he loved.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:42
Ezekiel 16:42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.Ver. 42. So I will make my fury toward thee to rest.] Sept., I will dismiss mine anger upon thee. Like as when Haman was hanged, Ahasuerus’ s wrath was pacified; and as when Jonah was cast overboard, the sea was calmed.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:42
(42) My fury . . . to rest.—Not in pity but in satiety, as having accomplished the utter desolation of Israel.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:42
