Ezekiel 7:7 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 7:7

5 “Thus says the Lord God:
‘A disaster, a singular ^adisaster;
Behold, it has come!

6 An end has come,
The end has come;
It has dawned for you;
Behold, it has come!

7 ^aDoom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
^bThe time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.

8 Now upon you I will soon ^apour out My fury,
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.

9 ‘My eye will not spare,
Nor will I have pity;
I will¹ repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.

10 ‘Behold, the day!
Behold, it has come!
^aDoom has gone out;
The rod has blossomed,
Pride has budded.

11 ^aViolence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
None of¹ them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of them;
^bNor shall there be wailing for them.

12 The time has come,
The day draws near.
‘Let not the buyer ^arejoice,
Nor the seller ^bmourn,
For wrath is on their whole multitude.

Ezekiel 7:7

The morning—so Chaldean and Syriac versions (compare Joel 2:2). Ezekiel wishes to awaken them from their lethargy, whereby they were promising to themselves an uninterrupted night (I Thessalonians 5:5-7), as if they were never to be called to account [CALVIN]. The expression, "morning," refers to the fact that this was the usual time for magistrates giving sentence against offenders (compare Ezekiel 7:10, below; Psalms 101:8; Jeremiah 21:12). GESENIUS, less probably, translates, "the order of fate"; thy turn to be punished.

not the sounding again—not an empty echo, such as is produced by the reverberation of sounds in "the mountains," but a real cry of tumult is coming [CALVIN]. Perhaps it alludes to the joyous cries of the grape-gatherers at vintage on the hills [GROTIUS], or of the idolaters in their dances on their festivals in honor of their false gods [TIRINUS]. HAVERNICK translates, "no brightness."
