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

Ezequiel 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:11

Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness
Some understand this of the Chaldeans, who came with great violence against the Jews, and were a rod in the hand of the Lord, to scourge them for their wickedness; and this seems to be the sense of the Targum,

``spoilers are risen up to visit the wicked;''

but rather the violence, oppression, and rapine of the Jews are meant, and mentioned as the cause of their punishment; for this their oppression of the poor and needy, the widow and the fatherless, among them, God suffered the king of Babylon, a wicked prince, to come and chastise them: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of
theirs;
meaning not the Chaldean army, as if they came not of themselves, but of God, and much less were cut off, for they returned to their own land again; but the Jews, who either should die in the siege with the famine and pestilence, or be put to death by the sword, or be carried into captivity: neither [shall there be] wailing for them;
the destruction should be so general, that there would be but few left to mourn; and those that were left would be struck with such a stupor and amazement at the calamity, that they would not be capable of mourning; or with such a dread of the enemy, that there would be no place for lamentation over their dead friends and relations.

Ezequiel 7:11 In-Context

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

13 Porque el que vende no tornará a lo vendido, aunque queden vivos; porque la visión es dada sobre toda su multitud, y no será cancelada; y ninguno en su iniquidad de vida, se esforzará
