Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 7:7-10

"Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, [a day of] tumult, and not [of] joyful shouting, upon the mountains. Now will I shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, do smite. Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded." — Ezekiel 7:7-10 (ASV)

The morning - Rather, “The conclusion”: a whole series (literally circle) of events is being brought to a close. Others render it: Fate.

The day of trouble ... - Or, The day is near; a tumult (Zechariah 14:13), and not the echo of (or, shouting on) the mountains. The contrast is between the wild tumult of war and the joyous shouts of those who keep holiday.

Rod - Used here for tribe (Exodus 31:2). The people of Judah have blossomed into proud luxuriance. In (Ezekiel 7:11) it means the rod to punish wickedness.

The meaning of the passage is obscure, owing to the brief and enigmatic form of the utterance. We may adopt the following explanation.

The Jews had always exulted in their national privileges—everything great and noble was to be from them and from theirs; but now Yahweh raises up the rod of the oppressor to confound and punish the rod of His people.

The furious Chaldaean has become an instrument of God’s wrath, endowed with power emanating not from the Jews or from the multitude of the Jews, or from any of their children or people; indeed, the destruction shall be so complete that none shall be left to make lamentation over them.
