These are Yahweh's words to the people of Israel.
Now before long
"Very soon now"
I will pour out my fury against you and fill up my wrath upon you

AT: "I will punish you severely because I am very angry" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
fury
"wrath" or "great anger"
For my eye will not look compassionately
The eye is a synecdoche for the person whose eye it is. AT: "I will not look on them with compassion" or "I will not be compassionate to them" (See: and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
I will not spare you
"I will not leave you without punishment" or "I will punish you"
your abominations will be in your midst so you will know that I am Yahweh
See how you translated this in Ezekiel 7:4.
