以西結書 7:5 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-15

We have here fair warning given of the destruction of the land of Israel, which was now hastening on apace. God, by the prophet, not only sends notice of it, but will have it inculcated in the same expressions, to show that the thing is certain, that it is near, that the prophet is himself affected with it and desires they should be so too, but finds them deaf, and stupid, and unaffected. When the town is on fire men do no seek for fine words and quaint expressions in which to give an account... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:5

Thus saith the Lord God ,.... Here should be a stop, a colon, requiring attention to what follows, it being something awful and terrible: an evil, an only evil, behold, it cometh ; meaning the destruction of the city and temple; which, though but one, was such an one as was never known before nor was there any like it. The Targum is, "evil after evil, lo, it cometh;' one evil after another; when one evil is gone, another comes, as in Ezekiel 7:26 . The Syriac version is, "behold,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:5

An evil, an only evil - The great, the sovereign, the last exterminating evil, is come: the sword, the pestilence, the famine, and the captivity. Many MSS. read אחר achar , after. So evil cometh after evil; one instantly succeeds another. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:5

Verse 5 If we read אחת , acheth, or אחר, acher, the sense seems to me the same, an evil, another evil is come: that is, one evil is come from another, or one evil is come and an evil: that is, when one evil is come another will soon follow. Some explain it in way which seems to me harsh and unsatisfactory: one evil is come; this is so severe that at its first impulse it suffices for complete slaughter, so subtilely do they explain it. But it seems to me that the sense of the Prophet flows best... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-15

The hand of the dock on the hour of doom. The bulk of men persist in thinking of God as if he were such a One as themselves. Rejecting the revelation of God's nature contained in Scripture, they conceive of him as a man greatly magnified the infirmities of man magnified, as well as his virtues. They know the proneness of man to threaten and not to perform; hence they conclude that the judgments of God, because delayed, will evaporate in empty words. God will not be hastened. Proportionate... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:5

An evil, an only evil, etc. The words imply that the evil would be unique in character, attracting men's notice, not needing repetition. Cornill, however, following Luther, gives "evil after evil," changing one letter m the Hebrew for "one," so as to get the word "after." For is come read, with the Revised Version, it cometh. It is the nearness, not the actual arrival, of the end, that is in the prophet's thoughts. He writes in B.C. 595-4. Jerusalem was not taken till B.C. 588. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:5-11

Aspects of the execution of the Divine judgments. "Thus saith the Lord God; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. An end is come," etc. Nearly everything contained in these verses we have already noticed in previous paragraphs. Ezekiel 7:8 and Ezekiel 7:9 are almost a literal repetition of Ezekiel 7:3 and Ezekiel 7:4 , which came under consideration in our preceding homily. But certain aspects of the execution of the Divine judgment are here set forth which we have not hitherto... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 7:5-7

Ezekiel 7:5-7. Thus saith the Lord, An evil, an only evil A sore affliction, a singular and uncommon one. An end is come A destruction, which shall be fatal to a great part of those that go into captivity, as well as to those who are consumed in their own country. It is quite prepared to rush upon thee. Observe, reader, when the end is come upon the ungodly, then an only evil comes upon them. The sorest of temporal judgments have their allays; but the torments of the damned are an... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-27

The end is near (7:1-27)Many Jews thought that Jerusalem would never be conquered. Ezekiel announced with certainty that the city would fall. God had been longsuffering and merciful, and had saved the city many times, but the people stubbornly refused to repent. Now the time for God’s judgment had come (7:1-4). One disaster would follow another, till the wicked city was destroyed (5-9).As a tree blossoms, so Jerusalem’s sin was full-grown. The city was about to fall; rich and poor were about to... read more
