Context of Ezekiel 7:14

12The time has come; the day has struck! The customer should not rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for divine wrath comes against their whole crowd. 13The customer will no longer pay the seller while both parties are alive, for the vision against their whole crowd will not be revoked. Each person, for his iniquity, will fail to preserve his life. “They have blown the trumpet and everyone is ready, but no one goes to battle, because my anger is against their whole crowd. 15The sword is outside; pestilence and famine are inside the house. Whoever is in the open field will die by the sword, and famine and pestilence will consume everyone in the city. 16Their survivors will escape to the mountains and become like doves of the valleys; all of them will moan – each one for his iniquity.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 7:14

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14They have blown the trumpet - Vain are all the efforts you make to collect and arm the peoples and stand on your own defense; for all shall be dispirited, and none go to the battle.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14When Israel sounded the trumpet in holy war (a battle fought in the name of the Lord), something different would happen. In the past, the troops would gather quickly. The enemy would become afraid and confused (see Numbers 10:9; Joshua 6:4–20; Judges 6:34; 7:16–22; Nehemiah 4:18–20). But now, when the trumpet sounded, the soldiers would not rally. The enemy would not be terrified. The old victories would not be repeated.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1414. They have blown the trumpet--rather, "Blow the trumpet," or, "Let them blow the trumpet" to collect soldiers as they will, "to make all ready" for encountering the foe, it will be of no avail; none will have the courage to go to the battle (compare Jr 6:1), [Calvin].Read the comment
