Context of Ezekiel 7:10

8Very soon, I will punish you because of my great anger. You will know how angry I am. I will judge you for the way that you have lived. I will punish you as you deserve for the disgusting things that you have done. 9I will not be sorry for you. I will not be kind to you. I will punish you as you deserve, because of the disgusting things that you have done. Then you will know that I, the Lord, am causing you pain. Yes, the day of your punishment is here! Terrible trouble is coming to you! Like a tree that is ready to make flowers, your proud and wicked acts are ready for punishment. 11You use violence to help you to do wicked things. None of all those people will escape. None of their riches or valuable things will remain. 12The day of punishment has now come! The person who buys things will no longer be happy. Nor will the person who sells things. My anger will bring pain to all of them.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 7:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Behold 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 the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7-10Verses 7-10 The morning - Rather, “The conclusion:” a whole series (literally circle) of events is being brought to a close. Others render it: Fate.
