Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 7:7-10

The morning - Rather, “The conclusion:” a whole series (literally circle) of events is being brought to a close. Others render it: Fate.The day of trouble ... - Or, The day is near; a tumult Zechariah 14:13, and not the echo of (or, shouting on) the mountains. The contrast is between the wild tumult of war and the joyous shouts of such as keep holiday.Ezekiel 7:10Rod - Used here for tribe Exodus 31:2. The people of Judah have blossomed into proud luxuriance. In Ezekiel 7:11 it means the rod to... 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

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

Thomas Constable

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

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
