Ezekiel 7:11

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them." — Ezekiel 7:11 (ASV)

Neither shall there be wailing for them.— The word for wailing is another of those words occurring only in this passage which have been variously understood. It is now generally understood as that which is glorious or beautiful. Israel has run its circle; prosperity has developed pride, and pride has culminated in all wickedness. Now the end has come: they and their tumult (margin: for multitude) disappear together, and of their glory, there will be nothing left.
