Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 7:7

Ezekiel 7:7. The morning is come upon thee— Straits come upon thee, O thou, &c. The day of trouble is near, and not of mirth. Houbigant. Those who understand the passage according to our translation, suppose the meaning to be, "God's judgments shall overtake thee speedily and unexpectedly;" and that the expression alludes to the time when magistrates used to pronounce sentence on offenders, which was in the morning. See Jeremiah 21:12. The sounding again of the mountains is supposed to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 7:7

7. The morning—so Chaldean and Syriac versions (compare :-). Ezekiel wishes to awaken them from their lethargy, whereby they were promising to themselves an uninterrupted night ( :-), as if they were never to be called to account [CALVIN]. The expression, "morning," refers to the fact that this was the usual time for magistrates giving sentence against offenders (compare Ezekiel 7:10, below; Psalms 101:8; Jeremiah 21:12). GESENIUS, less probably, translates, "the order of fate"; thy turn to be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 7:5-9

The Lord again revealed that a unique disaster was coming. It would be an end for the Israelites, and it was near. Their doom would soon arrive as a tumult on the mountains, not as a joyful sound. The Lord was about to judge His people for all their abominations. He would show no pity. They would then know that He was the Lord. This oracle stresses the horror and surprise of the coming judgment as well as the person judging. The last phrase is a new name for God: Yahweh makkeh, "the Lord who... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:1-27

The Desolation of the Land of IsraelThis is a final message of doom upon the whole land (Ezekiel 7:2). God’s wrath against Israel’s sin is relentless, and the judgment is inevitable and close at hand. Social relations will be broken up (Ezekiel 7:12); preparations for defence will be unavailing (Ezekiel 7:14); wealth, which has been an occasion of sin and an instrument of idolatry, will not avert calamity, but will become the spoil of the heathen (Ezekiel 7:19-21); priests and prophets, king... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 7:7

(7) The morning is come unto thee.—The word here used is not the usual one for morning. This word occurs elsewhere only in Ezekiel 7:10 and Isaiah 28:5, where it is translated crown. There is much difference of opinion both as to its derivation and its meaning. The most probable sense is circuit—“the circuit of thy sins is finished, and the end is come upon thee.”The sounding again of the mountains.—This is again a peculiar word, occurring only here; but it is nearly like and probably has the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-27

THE END FORETOLDEzekiel 4:1-17 - Ezekiel 7:1-27WITH the fourth chapter we enter on the exposition of the first great division of Ezekiel’s prophecies. The chaps, 4-24, cover a period of about four and a half years, extending from the time of the prophet’s call to the commencement of the siege of Jerusalem. During this time Ezekiel’s thoughts revolved round one great theme-the approaching judgment on the city and the nation. Through contemplation of this fact there was disclosed to him the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 7:1-27

Ezekiel 7:1-27 . This chapter closes the first great message of Ezekiel. This great judgment message is written in beautiful language, which, in the Authorized Version, is marred by numerous incorrect renderings. The reader will find a reliable metrical translation in our larger commentary on Ezekiel. First, the end is announced to come upon the entire land; it could no longer be averted. There is another day coming in which the Lord will deal in fearful judgments with this earth. Now is the... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 7:7

7:7 The {c} morning is come upon thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the joyful {d} shouting upon the mountains.(c) The beginning of his punishments is already come.(d) Which was a voice of joy and mirth. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-27

SECOND VISION OF GLORY Remember that in the first part of this book, chapters 1-24, we are dealing with prophecies before the siege of Jerusalem and foretelling its overthrow. The present lesson begins at Ezekiel 3:22 . (Compare v. 23 with Ezekiel 1:1 ; Ezekiel 1:24 with Ezekiel 2:2 ; and Acts 2:4 ; Acts 4:31 .) Verse 25 is to be taken figuratively. (Compare 2 Corinthians 6:11-12 .) The same is true of verse 26, which means that as Israel had rejected the words of the prophets hitherto, the... read more
