Ezekiel 7:11

“Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness, &c.] Some understand this of the Chaldeans, who came with great violence against the Jews, and were a rod in the hand of the Lord, to scourge them for their wickedness; and this seems to be the sense of the Targum, “spoilers are risen up to visit the wicked;” but rather the violence, oppression, and rapine of the Jews are meant, and mentioned as the cause of their punishment; for this their oppression of the poor and needy, the widow and the fatherless, among them, God suffered the king of Babylon, a wicked prince, to come and chastise them: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs; meaning not the Chaldean army,…”

“Violence (that is, the violent foe) is risen up as a rod of (that is, to punish the Jews') wickedness (Zac 5:8). theirs--their possessions, or all that belongs to them, whether children or goods. GROTIUS translates from a different Hebrew root, "their nobles," literally, "their tumultuous trains" (Margin) which usually escorted the nobles. Thus "nobles" will form a contrast to the general "multitude." neither . . . wailing-- (Jer 16:4-7; Jer 25:33). GESENIUS translates, "nor shall there be left any beauty among them." English Version is supported by the old Jewish interpreters. So general shall be the slaughter, none shall be left to mourn the dead.”

“None - They shall be utterly wasted for their sins. Wailing - The living shall not bewail their dead friends, because they shall judge the dead in a better case than the living. Ezekiel 7:12”

“7:11 Their violence has grown into a rod that will beat them: God would use their own violence to punish them by giving them over to internal strife and conflict (cp. Prov 6:27). Wealth and prestige could not save them against the coming torrent of destruction.”

“Violence: Eze 7:23; Isa 5:7, Isa 9:4, Isa 14:29, Isa 59:6-8; Jer 6:7; Amo 3:10, Amo 6:3; Mic 2:2, Mic 3:3; Mic 6:12; Jam 2:13 none: Eze 7:2, Eze 7:16, Eze 5:4, Eze 5:11, Eze 6:11; Zep 1:18 multitude: or, tumult theirs: or, their tumultuous persons neither: Eze 24:16-24; Psa 78:64; Jer 16:5, Jer 16:6, Jer 22:18, Jer 25:33 Ezekiel 7:12”
