Ezekiel 7:3

Ezekiel 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:3

Now [is] the end [come] upon thee
This is repeated for the confirmation of it, and for the sake of application of it to the people of Israel, of whom he had before spoken in the third person; but now in the second, in order to arouse them, and excite attention: and I will send mine anger upon thee;
the token of it, the punishment of their sins: and I will judge thee according to thy ways;
pass sentence, and execute it, as their evil ways and practices deserved: and I will recompense,
or "put upon thee" ^F6, all thine abominations;
cause them to bear as a burden the just punishment of their detestable iniquities; which would be more than they would be able to bear, though not more than they deserved.

Ezekiel 7:3 In-Context

1 The LORD's word came to me:

2 You, human one, this is what the LORD God proclaims to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come to the four corners of the earth!

3 Even now the end is upon you! I'll send my anger against you, I'll judge you according to your ways, and I'll turn all your detestable practices against you.

4 I won't shed a tear for you or show any pity. Instead, I'll turn your ways against you, and your detestable practices will stay with you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

5 The LORD God proclaims: Disaster! A singular disaster! Look, it comes!
