Context of Ezekiel 7:12

10Behold, the day is here! It has come! Doom has gone out, the rod has budded, arrogance has bloomed. 11Their violence has grown into a rod to punish their wickedness. None of them will remain: none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and nothing of value. The time has come; the day has arrived. Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, for wrath is upon the whole multitude. 13The seller will surely not recover what he sold while both remain alive. For the vision concerning the whole multitude will not be revoked, and because of their iniquity, not one of them will preserve his life. 14They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one goes to war, for My wrath is upon the whole multitude.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 7:12

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn - Such is now the state of public affairs, that he who through want has been obliged to sell his inheritance, need not mourn on the account; as of this the enemy would soon have deprived him. And he who has bought it need not rejoice in his bargain, as he shall soon be stripped of his purchase, and either fall by the sword, or be glad to flee for his life.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12The day - Either of temporal or final judgment. It was grievous for an Israelite to part with his land. But now the seller need not mourn his loss, nor the buyer exult in him gain. All should live the pitiful lives of strangers in another country.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 12-13Commercial transactions would lose their meaning. Buying and selling would no longer matter. There would be no such thing as a good deal or a bad deal. Buyers and sellers alike would face God’s terrible anger.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1212. let not ... buyer rejoice--because he has bought an estate at a bargain price. nor ... seller mourn--because he has had to sell his land at a sacrifice through poverty. The Chaldeans will be masters of the land, so that neither shall the buyer have any good of his purchase, nor the seller any loss; nor shall the latter (Eze 7:13) return to his inheritance at the jubilee year (see Le 25:13).
