Context — The Hour of Doom
8Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you and vent My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
9I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that it is I, the LORD, who strikes the blow.
10Behold, the day is here! It has come! Doom has gone out, the rod has budded, arrogance has bloomed.
11Their violence has grown into a rod to punish their wickedness. None of them will remain: none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and nothing of value. 12The time has come; the day has arrived. Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, for wrath is upon the whole multitude.Cross References

Ezekiel 7:10 Summary
Ezekiel 7:10 tells us that a time of judgment has arrived, where God's wrath is poured out because of the people's sins. This verse reminds us that our pride and arrogance can lead to our downfall, just like it's written in Proverbs 16:18. It's a call for us to humble ourselves and turn to God, recognizing that His judgment is real, as seen in Romans 1:18-32. By acknowledging our sin and seeking God's mercy, we can avoid the doom that comes from our own pride and rebellion against God.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 'day' being referred to in Ezekiel 7:10?
The 'day' in Ezekiel 7:10 is a time of judgment and doom, as seen in the context of the surrounding verses, Ezekiel 7:8-9, where God's wrath and anger are poured out.
What does 'the rod has budded' mean in this verse?
The phrase 'the rod has budded' is a metaphor for the blossoming of judgment, similar to how a rod or branch buds, indicating the beginning of a new season, in this case, a season of punishment, as also seen in Isaiah 10:5 where God uses Assyria as a rod to punish His people.
How does 'arrogance has bloomed' relate to the rest of the verse?
The blooming of arrogance in Ezekiel 7:10 signifies that the pride and haughtiness of the people have reached a point where God's judgment is necessary, much like in Proverbs 16:18, where it is written that 'pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall'.
Is this verse applicable to us today?
While Ezekiel 7:10 was spoken to the Israelites, its principles about God's judgment on pride and sin are timeless and universal, applicable to all people, as seen in Romans 1:18-32, where God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.
Reflection Questions
- What are the areas in my life where I have allowed pride and arrogance to bloom, and how can I humble myself before God?
- How does the concept of a 'day' of judgment in Ezekiel 7:10 make me think about my own standing before God, and what changes do I need to make?
- In what ways can I, like the Israelites, be blinded to my own sin and the impending judgment, and how can I seek God's mercy and forgiveness?
- What does it mean for me to live in the light of an impending 'day' of judgment, and how should this reality shape my daily choices and priorities?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 7:10
Behold the day, behold, it is come,.... That is, the day of trouble and distress, said to be near, Ezekiel 7:3; the morning is gone forth; [See comments on Ezekiel 7:7]; the rod hath blossomed, pride
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 7:10
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. The rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:10
If you will open your eyes, you may see the lowering day of vengeance: see . The rod hath blossomed: this and what follows may refer either, 1. To Nebuchadnezzar and his Chaldeans, the rod of God’ s anger; they flourish, are strong and heavy, like to last too long in their strength to break Israel. Pride hath budded; as they flourish in strength, they exceed in pride and arrogance, which buddeth forth in the haughty designs they lay of raising themselves on the ruins of all countries.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:10
Ezekiel 7:10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.Ver. 10. The morning is gone forth.] Matutina sententia, The decree bringeth forth, The rod hath blossomed.] You have had your floralia, good times and shall shortly have your funeralia, funeral. Nebuchadnezzar (that rod of my wrath) is at hand. Pride hath budded.] And will shortly bring forth, viz., the bitter fruit of your bold rebellion. Not much unlike to this was the almond rod seen by Jeremiah.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:10
(10) The morning is gone forth.—The same word as in Ezekiel 7:7, and in the same sense—the circle is complete, the end is reached, sin hath brought forth death. “The rod” is commonly understood of the Chaldæan conqueror; but as the word is the same for rod and for tribe, and is very often used in the latter sense, it will be more in accordance with the connection to understand here a play upon the word. There will be then an allusion to the rods of the tribes in Numbers 17:8. There the rod of Aaron was made to bud and blossom by Divine power in evidence of his having been chosen of God; here the rod representing the tribe at Jerusalem in its self-will and pride has budded and blossomed to its destruction. So the description continues in the next verse, “Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness.” Not a rod for the punishment of wickedness; but into a wicked people.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:10
Verse 10. Behold the day] The same words are repeated, sometimes varied, and pressed on the attention with new figures and new circumstances, in order to alarm this infatuated people. Look at the day! It is come! The morning is gone forth] It will wait no longer. The rod that is to chastise you hath blossomed; it is quite ready. Pride hath budded.] Your insolence, obstinacy, and daring opposition to God have brought forth their proper fruits.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 7:10
10–13. The ruin is universal, overtaking all classes 10. morning is gone forth] Rather: is come forth,—the figure of a plant springing up; Job 14:2, “man cometh forth like a flower.” On “morning” see Ezekiel 7:7; R.V. doom as there. rod hath blossomed] i.e. sprouted and grown so as to become a rod. The general scope of the passage seems to imply that the “rod” here is that by which Israel shall be chastised. In Jeremiah 50:31 Babylon is named “pride” (R.V. marg.), and the words “pride has budded” may serve to explain “the rod has blossomed.” If the pride were that which the rod was to humble the words would better be attached to the next verse.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:10
10. Gone forth — Rather, sprung up. (Compare Job 14:12.) On the meaning of the expression see Ezekiel 7:6.
