Ezequiel 7:1-9

1 Y vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo:

2 Y tú, hijo de hombre, di: "Así dice el Señor DIOS a la tierra de Israel: '¡El fin, el fin viene sobre los cuatro extremos de la tierra!

3 'Ahora viene el fin sobre ti y enviaré mi ira contra ti; te juzgaré conforme a tus caminos y traeré sobre ti todas tus abominaciones.

4 'Mi ojo no tendrá piedad de ti ni yo te perdonaré; sino que te pagaré conforme a tus caminos, y tus abominaciones en medio de ti quedarán; y sabréis que yo soy el SEÑOR.'"

5 Así dice el Señor DIOS: "¡Un desastre!, ¡he aquí que viene un desastre sin igual!

6 "El fin viene, viene el fin; se ha despertado contra ti; he aquí, ha venido.

7 "Te ha llegado tu turno, oh habitante de la tierra. Ha llegado el tiempo, se acerca el día; pánico, y no júbilo, en los montes.

8 "Ahora pronto derramaré mi furor sobre ti y descargaré mi ira contra ti; te juzgaré conforme a tus caminos y traeré sobre ti todas tus abominaciones.

9 "Mi ojo no tendrá piedad ni yo perdonaré. Te pagaré conforme a tus caminos, y tus abominaciones quedarán en medio de ti; y sabréis que soy yo, el SEÑOR, el que hiere.

Ezequiel 7:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 7

This chapter contains a prophecy of the speedy destruction of the Jews, as being just at hand; of the particular judgments that should come upon them; of the horror that should seize them, and the distress that all ranks of men among them should be in, a few only escaping, who are described as in mournful circumstances. The destruction in general is denounced as being very near; the end being come, which is often repeated; and as it is represented as sudden, so without mercy; which is declared, Eze 7:1-14; the particular judgments, sword, pestilence, and famine, are mentioned in Eze 7:15, and the few that should escape are compared to mourning doves, Eze 7:16; the trembling, horror, and shame that should be upon all, are intimated in Eze 7:17,18; the unprofitableness of their gold and silver to deliver them, and the unsatisfying nature of these things, are expressed, Eze 7:19; the profanation and destruction of their temple are prophesied of, Eze 7:20-22; and for their murder, rapine, and oppression, it is threatened that their houses should be possessed by the worst of Heathens, and their holy places defiled; and one calamity should come upon another; when their application to prophets, priests, and ancient men for counsel, would be in, vain, Eze 7:23-26; and king, prince, and people, should be in the most melancholy and distressed circumstances, Eze 7:27.
