Context of Ezekiel 7:10

8Now I will soon pour out my wrath upon you, and spend my anger against you, and judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. 9And my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. Then you will know that I am the Lord, who strikes. "Behold, the day! Behold, it comes!

Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude.

• 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.

• 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.
