Ezekiel 7:6

“An end is come, the end is come, &c.] These words, so often repeated, show the eagerness and concern of the prophet’s mind; the speed and haste destruction was making; and the great stupidity of the people, which required such a frequent repetition: it watcheth for thee; that is, their damnation slumbered not, but was awake, and waited till the time was up, which was just at hand, for it to take place; (see <610203>2 Peter 2:3); behold, it is come; either the end, or rather the evil before mentioned; it was just at the door; it denotes the certainty of it, and its near approach.”

“watcheth for thee--rather, "waketh for thee." It awakes up from its past slumber against thee (Psa 78:65-66).”

“The end is come: it watcheth for thee - The end (personified) so long slumbering now awakes and comes upon thee. return to 'Top of Page'”

“An end - When the end is come upon the wicked world, then an only evil comes upon it. The sorest of temporal judgments have their allays; but the torments of the damned are an evil, an only evil. Ezekiel 7:7”

“An end: This is similar to the Eze 7:2; but there is a paronomasia, or play upon words, here, deserving of notice: ketz ba, ba hakketz, haikeetz ailayich "the end cometh, come is the end. it waketh for thee." Ketz is an end; haikeetz is to wake or watch. Eze 7:3; Jer 44:27 watcheth for thee: Heb. awaketh against thee, Zac 13:7 behold: Eze 7:10, Eze 21:25, Eze 39:8; Pe2 2:5 Ezekiel 7:7”
