Ezekiel 7:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:6

An end is come, the end is come
These words, so often repeated, show the eagerness and concern of the prophet's mind; the speed and haste destruction was making; and the great stupidity of the people, which required such a frequent repetition: it watcheth for thee;
that is, their damnation slumbered not, but was awake, and waited till the time was up, which was just at hand, for it to take place; see ( 2 Peter 2:3 ) ; behold, it is come;
either the end, or rather the evil before mentioned; it was just at the door; it denotes the certainty of it, and its near approach.

Ezekiel 7:6 In-Context

4 And mine eye shall not spare on thee, and I shall not do mercy (And my eye shall not spare thee, and I shall have no mercy on thee). But I shall set thy ways [up]on thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know, that I am the Lord.

5 The Lord God saith these things, Lo! torment, lo! torment cometh;

6 the end cometh, the end cometh; it shall wake fully against thee (it watcheth for thee); lo! it cometh.

7 Sorrow cometh [up]on thee, that dwellest in the land (who livest in the land); the time cometh, the day of slaying is nigh, and not of (the) glory of hills.

8 Now anon I shall shed out mine ire on thee, and I shall [ful]fill my strong vengeance in thee; and I shall deem thee by thy ways, and I shall put to thee all thy great trespasses. (Now at once I shall pour out my anger upon thee, and I shall fulfill my strong vengeance upon thee; and I shall judge thee by thy ways, and I shall put to thee all thy great trespasses.)
