Ezekiel 7:7 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The morning is come upon thee— Straits come upon thee, O thou, &c. The day of trouble is near, and not of mirth. Houbigant. Those who understand the passage according to our translation, suppose the meaning to be, "God's judgments shall overtake thee speedily and unexpectedly;" and that the expression alludes to the time when magistrates used to pronounce sentence on offenders, which was in the morning. See Jeremiah 21:12. The sounding again of the mountains is supposed to refer to the joyful sounds echoed from the mountains at the time of the vintage and other similar festivities. See Isaiah 16:9; Isaiah 16:14.
