• 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. The day of trouble … - Or, The day is near; a tumult Zechariah 14:13, and not the echo of (or, shouting on) the mountains.
