Bible Comments

Thus saith the Lord unto the land of Israel Unto the inhabitants of the land. Israel is often put for Judah, after the captivity of the ten tribes; those that were left of these tribes joining themselves to the tribe of Judah. The whole country of Judea is here comprehended. An end An end of God's patience, of the peace and welfare of the people, and of the plenty, beauty, and desirableness of the land itself; is come Or is near at hand; even that dreadful end threatened by Moses and the prophets, as the certain punishment of idolatry and other violations of God's law: upon the four corners of the land Upon all parts of it. Now is the end come upon thee There shall be no more delays. I will judge thee according to thy ways I will punish thee according to thy deserts. Thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee The punishment of thy sins shall be upon thee everywhere throughout thy land.

Ezekiel 7:2-4

2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

3 Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompensea upon thee all thine abominations.

4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
