Ezekiel 7:10, Ezekiel 7:11 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-15

We have here fair warning given of the destruction of the land of Israel, which was now hastening on apace. God, by the prophet, not only sends notice of it, but will have it inculcated in the same expressions, to show that the thing is certain, that it is near, that the prophet is himself affected with it and desires they should be so too, but finds them deaf, and stupid, and unaffected. When the town is on fire men do no seek for fine words and quaint expressions in which to give an account... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:10

Behold the day, behold, it is come ,.... That is, the day of trouble and distress, said to be near, Ezekiel 7:3 ; the morning is gone forth ; See Gill on Ezekiel 7:7 ; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded ; both these phrases may be understood of Nebuchadnezzar; he was the rod, with which the Lord smote his people, as the Assyrian monarch is called the rod of his anger, Isaiah 10:5 , and was a very proud prince, and had budded and blossomed, and had brought forth much bad... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:10

Behold the day - The same words are repeated, sometimes varied, and pressed on the attention with new figures and new circumstances, in order to alarm this infatuated people. Look at the day! It is come! The morning is gone forth - It will wait no longer. The rod that is to chastise you hath blossomed; it is quite ready. Pride hath budded - Your insolence, obstinacy, and daring opposition to God have brought forth their proper fruits. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:10

Verse 10 Now Ezekiel uses another figure, but to the same purpose. He repeats what he had said before: the day is come, and he adds another part, that the morning had advanced But we said that the impious, when God connives at their sins, exult as it were in darkness without shame or fear. Since therefore they were as wanton as if they had obtained the license of night, the Prophet denounces that morning is at hand, because God would suddenly bring to light what they thought would be always... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-15

The hand of the dock on the hour of doom. The bulk of men persist in thinking of God as if he were such a One as themselves. Rejecting the revelation of God's nature contained in Scripture, they conceive of him as a man greatly magnified the infirmities of man magnified, as well as his virtues. They know the proneness of man to threaten and not to perform; hence they conclude that the judgments of God, because delayed, will evaporate in empty words. God will not be hastened. Proportionate... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:5-11

Aspects of the execution of the Divine judgments. "Thus saith the Lord God; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. An end is come," etc. Nearly everything contained in these verses we have already noticed in previous paragraphs. Ezekiel 7:8 and Ezekiel 7:9 are almost a literal repetition of Ezekiel 7:3 and Ezekiel 7:4 , which came under consideration in our preceding homily. But certain aspects of the execution of the Divine judgment are here set forth which we have not hitherto... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:10

It is come . Read, as before, it cometh; and for morning , doom (see note on Ezekiel 7:7 ). The rod hath blossomed , etc. The three verbs imply a climax. The "doom" springs out of the earth; the rod of vengeance blossoms (the word is the same as that which describes the blooming of Aaron's rod ( Numbers 17:8 ), and the phrase was probably suggested by the history); pride (either that of the Chaldean ministers of vengeance, or of Israel as working out its own punishment; I incline... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:10

The day is come. This chapter opened with a prophecy of "an end." It now proceeds to the annunciation of a new beginning. No end is absolutely final. In the night which sees the death of one day a new day is born. I. THE FUTURE BECOMES PRESENT . The much anticipated day at length arrives. We are thus forever overtaking the future. However far the future event may be, it will surely be reached, if time is the only impediment to be got over. The day of death may be far ahead, but... read more

Albert Barnes

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 7:10-11

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
