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

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 7:8

Shortly; or from a near distance, as well as in a short time, that the flood of my wrath may bear all down before it. Pour out my fury; my wrath shall not be poured out as water from a cloud at mighty distance, but like the breaking out of the sea on the neighbouring villages, which swallows up houses, cattle, and men without remedy. See Ezekiel 5:13, and Ezekiel 7:3. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 7:9

See Ezekiel 5:11. According to thy ways, worse than the ways of heathens, and thy punishments shall be worse. That are in the midst of thee; still thou retainest the old, and addest new abominations; these to this day are in thee, not hidden, but openly. I am the Lord that smiteth; you look only to the hand and sword of the Chaldeans, but I will not cease till you feel and acknowledge my hand smiting, that you may accept punishment, repent, and return to me. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-27

5. LAMENTATION OVER THE DESOLATED LAND (Chap. 7)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—In this chapter we have not so much an additional prophecy as a re-statement of principles and denunciations which had been already formulated. It affords abundant illustration of the tendency of Ezekiel to repeat his messages, and to use even the same forms of expression. But some of the repetition here must be, moreover, accounted for by the highly excited emotions under whose influence he wrote. That these emotions should take... read more
