Ezekiel 7:3 - Exposition

Now is the end upon thee, etc. We note the repetition of this and Ezekiel 7:4 in Ezekiel 7:8 , Ezekiel 7:9 , as a kind of refrain in the lamentation. Stress is laid, and for the time laid exclusively, on the unpitying character of the Divine judgments. And this is followed as before, in Ezekiel 6:14 , by "Ye shall know that I am the Lord." Fear must teach men the lesson which love had failed to teach.
