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

Joseph Parker

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

Robert Hawker

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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:13

Sold, as in the year of jubilee, Leviticus xxv. 25. (Calmet) --- Now there shall be no recovery. (Worthington) --- They shall be driven from the land. --- Although. By supplying the former negation, (Calmet) we may render "Nor," &c., (Haydock) which seems better. (Calmet) --- It may also mean, "those who are now alive" shall witness these things. (Haydock) Back. It is not a mere threat. 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 7:10-27

The Ruin Accomplished v. 10. Behold the day, that of the final reckoning, behold, it is come; the morning is gone forth, the destined calamity has arisen; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded, the powers of vengeance maturing for the purpose of performing the Lord's punishment upon the covenant people. v. 11. Violence, namely, that of the conquering Chaldeans, is risen up into a rod of wickedness, namely, to carry out the punishment upon the wicked; none of them shall remain, the... 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

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 7:12

“The time is come, the day draws near. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn. For wrath is on all their abundance (‘the multitude’ of their possessions).” Again it is emphasised that God’s time has now come. His day draws near. Jerusalem may be at present a busy market place but trade relations will cease. They will be no more. Buyers will no longer gloat over their bargains, sellers will no longer pretend to regret that they did not charge a higher price. For all that they possess... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:13

“For the seller will not return to what is sold, though their life be yet among the living, for the vision is concerning the whole multitude of them. None will return (turn back). Nor will any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.” There is a play on words here. The word for multitude has previously meant the multitude of wealth, here it probably refers to the multitude of people. The seller will not return to goods that he can sell in the markets of Jerusalem, even if he survives,... read more
