Ezekiel 7:12 — Meaning and Application

Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them {shall remain}, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither {shall there be} wailing for them. {theirs: or, their tumultuous persons: Heb. tumult}

The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath {is} upon all the multitude thereof.

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision {is} touching the whole multitude thereof, {which} shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. {although they...: Heb. though their life were yet among the living} {in the...: or, whose life is in his iniquity} {the iniquity: Heb. his iniquity}

They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath {is} upon all the multitude thereof.
