The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 7:1-27

The Character of God Ezekiel 6:0 , Ezekiel 7:0 In the sixth and seventh chapters there are two distinct prophecies, yet both are to be traced to the symbolism detailed so graphically in Ezekiel 5:0 . It is supposed that the prophecies in Ezekiel 6:0 , Ezekiel 7:0 were uttered, not immediately one after the other, but with such intervals of time as to allow each of them to make a distinct impression upon those to whom they were delivered; yet, on the other hand, it has been noted that the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 7:5-13

The same alarm is here given under another figure, to rouse Israel. The evil come, and the morning arrived, when sentence is to be carried into execution: these are strong intimations to work upon the heart. But no calls, no alarms, no threatenings avail, until grace enters the soul. How truly blessed it is, when with an eye to Jesus, the heart is led to see redemption from all evils, and from all alarms, only in him. When that effect the Prophet speaks of is wrought by grace, the Lord's... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:7

Destruction, ( contritio. ) St. Jerome reads "contraction," as also [in] ver. 10. Protestants, "the morning." (Haydock) --- Chaldean, "the reign." (Calmet) --- Hebrew tsephira, is variously rendered. (Haydock) --- Joy. Hebrew, "echo or cry" of people in the vintage. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:1-15

1-15 The abruptness of this prophecy, and the many repetitions, show that the prophet was deeply affected by the prospect of these calamities. Such will the destruction of sinners be; for none can avoid it. Oh that the wickedness of the wicked might end before it bring them to an end! Trouble is to the impenitent only an evil, it hardens their hearts, and stirs up their corruptions; but there are those to whom it is sanctified by the grace of God, and made a means of much good. The day of real... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 7:1-9

The Approaching Ruin v. 1. Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 2. Also, thou son of man, the direct address distinguishing this communication from those intended for the people in general, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel, the home of the covenant people, An end, that which terminates the long-suffering of God toward the whole of Judea, the end, that now definitely fixed, is come upon the four corners of the land, to its extreme boundaries, throughout... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 7:1-27

CHAPTER 71, 2And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An end to the soil of Israel! the end comes 3upon the four corners [borders] of the land. Now [comes] the end upon thee, and I send Mine anger into thee, and judge thee as thy ways [are], and give upon thee all thine abominations. 4And Mine eye will not restrain itself from [have pity upon] thee, neither will I spare; for [but] thy ways will I give upon thee, and thine abominations... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 7:1-27

The second denunciation dealt with the completeness of judgment. Its keynote was expressed in the words, "an end." The prophet declared that an end on the land and the people had been determined on, emphasizing that this final judgment would be accomplished by the act of God in order that they might know Him. The prophet then proceeded to describe that end. Its first manifestation would be the paralysis of the people, so that when the trumpet was blown for the battle, and all was ready, none... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:5-9

‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh, “An evil, an only evil, behold it comes. An end is come, the end is come, it awakes against you, behold it comes. Your doom is come to you, O inhabitant of the land, the time is come, the day is near, a day of tumult and not of joyful shouting on the mountains. Now will I shortly pour out my fury on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all your abominations. And my eye will not spare, nor will I... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:1-9

Ezekiel 7. The End is Nigh. Ezekiel 7:1-1 Samuel : . The visions of doom, so vividly described in the three preceding chapters, reach their climax in this chapter, charged with emotion and palpitating with the sense of the approaching end. That end was yet more than four years off, but already Ezekiel sees it in all its horror— that day of the pitiless anger of Yahweh, who by His terrors would teach His wicked and idolatrous people who and what He was. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 7:7

The morning; the word is variously rendered, and accordingly variously applied. It is, say some, of a Chaldee original, and signifies to cry out, to encompass, and to rise betimes in the morning, very fitly applicable here. With the morning star, which ushers in the light, thine enemies and thy sorrows are risen, have compassed thee about, and the cry of their shoutings, and the cry of thy distressed people, is raised; a long day of sorrows threatens thee, is upon thee, upon every one that... read more
