Ezekiel 7:7 in Multiple Translations
Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.
The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
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.
The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near; the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
You people living in the land, the consequences of your actions have come full circle. The time has come, the day is near— shouts of panic on the mountains and not shouts of joy.
The morning is come vnto thee, that dwellest in the lande: the time is come, the day of trouble is neere, and not the sounding againe of the mountaines.
Come hath the morning unto thee, O inhabitant of the land! Come hath the time, near [is] a day of trouble, And not the shouting of mountains.

It will be the end of you people who live in the landof Israel. The time has come; the daywhen you will be destroyed is near. At that time the people who worship idols on the mountains will not be happy; they will panic.

Context — The Hour of Doom
5This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster — behold, it is coming!
6The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. Behold, it has come!
7Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.
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.Cross References

Ezekiel 7:7 Summary
Ezekiel 7:7 is a warning to the people of Israel that God's judgment is near, and it's time to face the consequences of their actions. The 'doom' mentioned in this verse is a serious and final judgment, like the one described in Matthew 25:31-46, where the sheep are separated from the goats. This verse reminds us that our time on earth is short, and we must be ready to face God's judgment at any moment, as encouraged in 1 Peter 1:17 and 2 Peter 3:14. By turning to God and seeking His mercy, we can avoid His judgment and experience His love and forgiveness, as promised in Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the meaning of 'doom' in Ezekiel 7:7?
The word 'doom' in Ezekiel 7:7 refers to a judgment or sentence of destruction, as seen in other scriptures like Deuteronomy 28:15-68, where God warns of the consequences of disobedience. This doom is a result of the people's rebellion against God.
Why is there panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy?
The panic on the mountains in Ezekiel 7:7 signifies a dramatic reversal of fortunes, from a time of celebration and joy to one of fear and despair, much like the Day of the Lord described in Joel 2:1-11, where the people are called to repentance and mourning.
Is this verse only talking about the people of Israel, or does it have a broader application?
While Ezekiel 7:7 is specifically addressed to the inhabitants of the land of Israel, its principles can be applied to any nation or people who reject God and face His judgment, as seen in Romans 11:21, where Paul warns the Gentiles that they too can be cut off from God's blessing if they do not continue in His kindness.
How does this verse relate to the concept of God's wrath?
Ezekiel 7:7 is a declaration of God's impending wrath, which is further explained in the following verses, such as Ezekiel 7:8, where God says He will pour out His wrath upon the people, illustrating the severity of God's judgment, as also seen in Revelation 6:16-17, where the people cry out for the mountains to fall on them to escape God's wrath.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can prepare myself for the day of God's judgment, and how can I ensure I am not caught off guard like the inhabitants of the land in Ezekiel 7:7?
- In what ways can I be a voice of warning to those around me, calling them to repentance and faith in God, just as Ezekiel was called to prophesy to the people of Israel?
- How can I balance the message of God's judgment with the message of His love and mercy, as seen in scriptures like John 3:16 and Psalm 103:8-14?
- What are some personal idols or sins in my life that I need to repent of, lest I face God's judgment, and how can I seek God's help in overcoming them, as encouraged in 1 John 1:9 and Hebrews 4:16?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 7:7
The morning is come upon thee, O thou that dwellest in the land,.... That is, early ruin was come, or was coming, upon the inhabitants of Judea, which before is said to be awake, and to watch for
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 7:7
The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains. The morning is come. So the Chaldaic and Syriac versions (cf.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:7
The morning; the word is variously rendered, and accordingly variously applied. It is, say some, of a Chaldee original, and signifies to cry out, to encompass, and to rise betimes in the morning, very fitly applicable here. With the morning star, which ushers in the light, thine enemies and thy sorrows are risen, have compassed thee about, and the cry of their shoutings, and the cry of thy distressed people, is raised; a long day of sorrows threatens thee, is upon thee, upon every one that dwelleth in the land. The day of trouble is near; as the day near to the morning, so near are thy troubles, thy great. perplexed, and tumultuous troubles, as the word implies, like that . The sounding again; either it means the echo, which mountains make, and is an empty sound, makes great noise, and only startles children; the noise and report of your calamities are real, yea dreadful. Or else thus; on the mountains were your vineyards, and in vintage time your grape gatherers were wont to shout for joy, and fill the neighbourhood with their joys, but no such soundings shall you hear now. Or it may allude to the music with which their idol worship was celebrated in mountains, high places, in valleys, & C, whence the sound was heard and echoed from hill to hill. Those soundings from the mountains shall cease, it is a long day of vengeance for those sins.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:7
Ezekiel 7:7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.Ver. 7. The morning is come unto thee.] The morning of execution (as Jeremiah 21:12 Psalms 101:8 cf. Hosea 10:15 Genesis 19:23-24), worse than the Sicilian Vespers or the French massacre. Thine utter destruction, bene mane in te irruet, shall be upon thee early, as it was upon Sodom, and as the morning light breaketh in upon those that are fast asleep. Sicut decoctores multa sibi promittunt, interim pereunt. So it befalleth the wicked. The day of trouble is near.] Hajom mehumah. "Day" in Hebrew is thought to have its name from the stir and noise that is made in it, the humming noise and bustle of business. A troublesome and tumultuous day is here forethreatened, such as that in Isaiah 22:5 Zephaniah 1:14-17. Not the sounding again of the mountains.] Not an empty sound, or an echo - resonabilis echo - but a worse matter, that shall do more than beat the air.
Visitaberis summo mane, id est mature. - Piscat. Florulenta felicitas occidit. - Oecol. Virgil.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:7
(7) The morning is come unto thee.—The word here used is not the usual one for morning. This word occurs elsewhere only in Ezekiel 7:10 and Isaiah 28:5, where it is translated crown. There is much difference of opinion both as to its derivation and its meaning. The most probable sense is circuit—“the circuit of thy sins is finished, and the end is come upon thee.” The sounding again of the mountains.—This is again a peculiar word, occurring only here; but it is nearly like and probably has the same meaning as the word in Isaiah 16:10, Jeremiah 25:10, denoting the joyous sounds of the people, especially at harvest-time, filling the land and echoing back from the mountains. Instead of this shall be the tumult (rather the trouble) of the day of war. (See the opposite contrast in Exodus 32:17-18.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:7
Verse 7. The morning is come unto thee] Every note of time is used in order to show the certainty of the thing. The morning that the executioner has watched for is come; the time of that morning, in which it should take place, and the day to which that time, precise hour of that morning, belongs in which judgment shall be executed. All, all is come. And not the sounding again of the mountains.] The hostile troops are advancing! Ye hear a sound, a tumultuous noise; do not suppose that this proceeds from festivals upon the mountains; from the joy of harvestmen, or the treaders of the wine-press. It is the noise of those by whom ye and your country are to fall. ולא הד הרים veto hed harim, and not the reverberation of sound, or reflected sound, or re-echoing from the mountains. "Now will I shortly pour out," Ezekiel 7:8. Here they come!
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 7:7
7. The morning is come] The sense “morning” is that which a similar word has in Aramaic; but the dawn or morning is always used of the breaking in of felicity not of calamity (cf. Isaiah 8:20). The term occurs in Isaiah 28:5 in the sense of crown or chaplet, probably from the idea of encircling, going a round or circuit (Judges 7:3, R.V. marg.), and it has been conjectured that the word may have the sense of “turn” (vicem), naturally with the meaning “calamitous turn,” misfortune or fate (as da’irah in Arab.). So Abulwalid followed by most moderns (R.V. doom). Dukes quotes a Chaldee proverb of Sirach in which another form of the word has the sense of times (a hundred times, Blumenlese, p. 80). LXX. does not recognise the word either here or in Ezekiel 7:10. the day of trouble] Rather: the day is near, even tumult, and not joyful shouting Upon the mountains, as R.V. This rendering assumes that the word translated “joyful shouting” is another form of the term rendered “shouting” (vintage shouting) Isaiah 16:9-10; Jeremiah 48:33—“the shouting is no vintage shouting” but tumult of invasion (Lamentations 2:22).
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 7:7
The morning - Rather, “The conclusion:” a whole series (literally circle) of events is being brought to a close. Others render it: Fate.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:7
7. The morning is come — The R.V. and most modern exegetes translate “The doom is come.” This expression, however, may only mean that, notwithstanding the declarations of false prophets that things
