Ezequiel 7:11

11 La violencia de ellos se ha transformado en una vara
que los azotará por su perversidad.
Ninguno de esos orgullosos y perversos sobrevivirá.
Toda su riqueza y prestigio se esfumará.

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 Miraré para otro lado y no te tendré compasión.
Te daré tu merecido por todos tus pecados detestables.
Entonces sabrás que soy yo, el Señor
,
quien da el golpe.

10 »¡El día del juicio ha llegado;
tu destrucción está a la puerta!
La perversidad y la soberbia de la gente
han florecido en pleno.

11 La violencia de ellos se ha transformado en una vara
que los azotará por su perversidad.
Ninguno de esos orgullosos y perversos sobrevivirá.
Toda su riqueza y prestigio se esfumará.

12 Sí, ha llegado la hora,
¡este es el día!
Que los comerciantes no se alegren por las ofertas,
ni los vendedores lamenten sus pérdidas,
porque todos ellos caerán
bajo mi enojo terrible.

13 Aunque los mercaderes sobrevivan,
jamás regresarán a sus negocios.
Pues lo que Dios ha dicho se aplica a todos sin excepción,
¡no se cambiará!
Ninguna persona que viva descarriada por el pecado
se recuperará jamás.
