Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 7:10-11

Ezekiel 7:10-11. Behold the day Which has lingered so long! it is come at last. The morning is gone forth The day of destruction is already begun. The rod hath blossomed As the same word which signifies a tribe, signifies also a rod, the meaning of this sentence may be, the tribe of Judah hath flourished, or hath been prosperous. The consequence is mentioned in the following words: Pride hath budded Her prosperity first filled her with pride, and that begat violence and all kinds... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 7:12-15

Ezekiel 7:12-15. Let not the buyer rejoice, &c. The buyer will have no reason to rejoice, because he will not enjoy what he hath bought; nor the seller have cause to mourn for having been obliged to part with his possessions, of which the approaching desolation of the country and the captivity would otherwise have deprived him. For the seller shall not return to that which was sold, &c. The year of jubilee shall be no advantage to the sellers; for though they should live till it... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:10

"Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth; neither shall there be eminency among them."AN OMEN OF THE FINAL JUDGMENTSome have interpreted "the rod of wickedness" here as the avenging power of Babylon; but Cook stated that, "The prophet here has Israel in mind, not Babylon."[11]"Behold, the day, behold, it cometh"... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:12

"The time is come, the day draweth nigh: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, none shall escape; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life."COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES SHALL CEASEThis stresses the uselessness and futility of all buying and selling. "The whole multitude," the whole... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 7:10

Ezekiel 7:10. The morning is gone forth— The bud is put forth, or hath arisen, &c. Houbigant. Possibly the prophet, using the word מטה matteh, which signifies both a rod and a tribe, intends to point out the once flourishing state of the tribe of Judah. The next verse has greatly perplexed the commentators; every one of whom, says Houbigant, I have consulted, but in vain; and think the following translation gives the true sense of it: Violence hath burst forth from the rod: safety shall not... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 7:10

10. rod . . . blossomed, pride . . . budded—The "rod" is the Chaldean Nebuchadnezzar, the instrument of God's vengeance (Isaiah 10:5; Jeremiah 51:20). The rod sprouting (as the word ought to be translated), c., implies that God does not move precipitately, but in successive steps. He as it were has planted the ministers of His vengeance, and leaves them to grow till all is ripe for executing His purpose. "Pride" refers to the insolence of the Babylonian conqueror (Jeremiah 50:31 Jeremiah... read more
