Ezequiel 7:10

10 He aquí el día, he aquí que viene; la mañana ha salido; la vara ha florecido, la soberbia ha reverdecido

Ezequiel 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:10

Behold the day, behold, it is come
That is, the day of trouble and distress, said to be near, ( Ezekiel 7:3 ) ; the morning is gone forth; (See Gill on Ezekiel 7:7); the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded;
both these phrases may be understood of Nebuchadnezzar; he was the rod, with which the Lord smote his people, as the Assyrian monarch is called the rod of his anger, ( Isaiah 10:5 ) : and was a very proud prince, and had budded and blossomed, and had brought forth much bad fruit of that kind; see ( Daniel 3:15 ) ( Daniel 4:30 Daniel 4:37 ) ; or these may be separately considered; the rod may be interpreted of Nebuchadnezzar, which had been growing up, and preparing for the chastisement of the people of the Jews, and now was just ready to be made use of; and "pride" may respect the sin of that people, which was the cause of their being smitten with this rod, as the following words seem to indicate. The Targum is,

``a ruler hath budded, a wicked one hath appeared.''

Ezequiel 7:10 In-Context

8 Ahora presto derramaré mi ira sobre ti, y cumpliré en ti mi furor, y te juzgaré según tus caminos; y pondré sobre ti todas tus abominaciones

9 Y mi ojo no perdonará, ni tendré misericordia; según tus caminos pondré sobre ti, y tus abominaciones serán en medio de ti; y sabréis que yo soy el SEÑOR el que hiero

10 He aquí el día, he aquí que viene; la mañana ha salido; la vara ha florecido, la soberbia ha reverdecido

11 La violencia se ha levantado en vara de impiedad; ninguno quedará de ellos, ni de sus riquezas, ni de lo de ellos; ni aun habrá luto por ellos

12 El tiempo es venido, se acercó el día; el que compra, no se alegre, y el que vende, no llore, porque la ira está sobre toda su multitud
