The End Cometh
Eze 7:1. And the word of Jehovah came to me thus: Eze 7:2. And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An end to the land of Israel! the end cometh upon the four borders of the land. Eze 7:3. Now (cometh) the end upon thee, and I shall send my wrath upon thee, and judge thee according to thy ways, and bring upon thee all thine abominations. Eze 7:4. And my eye shall not look with pity upon thee, and I shall not spare, but bring thy ways upon thee; and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee, that ye may know that I am Jehovah. - ואתּה - .havoheJ ma I, with the copula, connects this word of God with the preceding one, and shows it to be a continuation. It commences with an emphatic utterance of the thought, that the end is coming to the land of Israel, i.e., to the kingdom of Judah, with its capital Jerusalem. Desecrated as it has been by the abominations of its inhabitants, it will cease to be the land of God's people Israel. 'לאדמת ישׂ (to the land of Israel) is not to be taken with כּה אמר (thus saith the Lord) in opposition to the accents, but is connected with qeets קץ (an end), as in the Targ. and Vulgate, and is placed first for the sake of greater emphasis. In the construction, compare Job 6:14. ארבּעת כּנפות הארץ is limited by the parallelism to the four extremities of the land of Israel. It is used elsewhere for the whole earth (Isa 11:12). The Chetib ארבּעת is placed, in opposition to the ordinary rule, before a noun in the feminine gender. The Keri gives the regular construction (vid., Ewald, 267c). In Eze 7:3 the end is explained to be a wrathful judgment. "Give (נתן) thine abominations upon thee;" i.e., send the consequences, inflict punishment for them. The same thought is expressed in the phrase, "thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee;" in other words, they would discern them in the punishments which the abominations would bring in their train. For Eze 7:4 compare Eze 5:11. |

11 Wherefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Surely, because thou hast defiled [02930] my sanctuary [04720] with all thy detestable things [08251], and with all thine abominations [08441], therefore will I also diminish [01639] thee; neither shall mine eye [05869] spare [02347], neither will I have any pity [02550].
4 And mine eye [05869] shall not spare [02347] thee, neither will I have pity [02550]: but I will recompense [05414] thy ways [01870] upon thee, and thine abominations [08441] shall be in the midst [08432] of thee: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
3 Now is the end [07093] come upon thee, and I will send [07971] mine anger [0639] upon thee, and will judge [08199] thee according to thy ways [01870], and will recompense [05414] upon thee all thine abominations [08441].
12 And he shall set up [05375] an ensign [05251] for the nations [01471], and shall assemble [0622] the outcasts [01760] of Israel [03478], and gather together [06908] the dispersed [05310] of Judah [03063] from the four [0702] corners [03671] of the earth [0776].
14 To him that is afflicted [04523] pity [02617] should be shewed from his friend [07453]; but he forsaketh [05800] the fear [03374] of the Almighty [07706].
4 And mine eye [05869] shall not spare [02347] thee, neither will I have pity [02550]: but I will recompense [05414] thy ways [01870] upon thee, and thine abominations [08441] shall be in the midst [08432] of thee: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
3 Now is the end [07093] come upon thee, and I will send [07971] mine anger [0639] upon thee, and will judge [08199] thee according to thy ways [01870], and will recompense [05414] upon thee all thine abominations [08441].
2 Also, thou son [01121] of man [0120], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] unto the land [0127] of Israel [03478]; An end [07093], the end [07093] is come [0935] upon the four [0702] corners [03671] of the land [0776].
