The end has come on the four corners of the earth. 3The end is now upon you; I will send my anger against you and judge you according to your ways.

Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

Commentaries on Ezekiel 7:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2An end, the end is come - Instead of הקץ בא קץ kets ba hakkets, one MS. of Kennicott's, one of De Rossi's, and one of my own, read הקץ בא בא קץ kets ba, ba hakkets,"The end cometh, come is the end."

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-2As the prophet shared his message, the scope of the threatened judgment grew, like ripples from a stone in a pond.

Judgment was no longer near, as in earlier messages. It had arrived.Read the comment
