Ezequiel 7:12

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.

Ezequiel 7:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:12

The time is come, the day draweth near
According to the Targum, the time of the recompence of iniquities, and the day of punishment of sins; of the sins of the Jews, by the Chaldean army, which no doubt is true; but it seems chiefly to refer to what follows: and the sense is, the time was coming on, in which let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn;
it is usual for the buyer of houses or lands to rejoice, because an addition is made to his estate, and especially when he has made, as he thinks, a good purchase; and the seller, he mourns because he is obliged to part with his estate to pay his debts, and so is reduced in his circumstances; but now the time was coming when the one would have no occasion to rejoice, nor the other to mourn; not the buyer rejoice, because, being carried captive, he cannot enjoy his possessions; nor the seller mourn, because, if he had not sold his house or field, he must have left it: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof;
upon the whole body of the Jewish nation, high and low, rich and poor, bond and free, buyer and seller; those that are in good circumstances, and those that are in bad ones; so that hereby they were all upon a level, in the same case and condition.

Ezequiel 7:12 In-Context

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.

14 Desolación de Israel
»Suena la trompeta para movilizar al ejército de Israel,
pero nadie presta atención,
porque me he enfurecido contra todos ellos.
