“The time is come, the day draws near. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn. For wrath is on all their abundance (‘the multitude' of their possessions).”
Again it is emphasised that God's time has now come. His day draws near. Jerusalem may be at present a busy market place but trade relations will cease. They will be no more. Buyers will no longer gloat over their bargains, sellers will no longer pretend to regret that they did not charge a higher price. For all that they possess will be under the wrath of God against sin. Note the continued emphasis on their abundance, ‘the multitude of their possessions' (Ezekiel 7:11-12) (which becomes the multitude of people in Ezekiel 7:13-14). All they have lived for, all they care for, all their riches, will be taken away.
