Study Lenses

The verse centers on "neither", "cause", "hear", "thee", "shame", "heathen", and "shalt". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "neither" and "cause", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 14's "Therefore thou shalt devour men no more..." into verse 16's "Moreover the word of the LORD came...", so "neither" and "cause" belong inside that flow. In Ezekiel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "neither" and "cause" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
