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 Não olharei com piedade para você nem a pouparei;eu a retribuirei de acordo com todas as práticas repugnantesque há no seu meio.Então você saberá que é o SENHOR que desfere o golpe.

10 “Eis o dia!Já chegou!A condenação irrompeu,a vara brotou,a arrogância floresceu!

11 A violência tomou a forma de umavara para castigar a maldade;ninguém do povo será deixado,ninguém daquela multidão,como também nenhuma riqueza,nada que tenha algum valor.

12 Chegou a hora,o dia chegou.Que o comprador não se regozijenem o vendedor se entristeça,pois a ira está sobre toda a multidão.

13 Nenhum vendedor viverá o suficiente para recuperara terra que vendeu,mesmo que viva muito tempo,pois a visão acerca de toda a multidão não voltará atrás.Por causa de sua iniquidade, nenhuma vida humana será preservada.
