Sections marked generated are written from the data on this page rather than by a named author. Everything else — the lexicon entries, the cross references, the manuscript readings, the counts — is quoted from its source unchanged.
Context — The Prophecy of Judgmentgenerated
Ezekiel 7:14 describes a scene where the people have made all necessary preparations for war by sounding the trumpet, yet no one is willing to fight. This reflects a deeper spiritual condition where, despite the external readiness, there is no internal resolve to act, as God's wrath looms over the entire nation. The surrounding verses emphasize the dire consequences of their iniquity and the futility of their preparations in the face of divine judgment.

The Key Word — תָּקְע֤וּ, ta.ke.'Ugenerated
The verb תָּקְע֤וּ (taqa) means 'to blow' or 'to strike,' and is used here to indicate the sounding of the trumpet. It carries the sense of making a loud noise, often associated with calls to action or significant announcements. The parsing as a perfect tense verb indicates that this action has been completed in the past, emphasizing that the trumpet has already been blown.
This word is significant in the context of the verse, as it illustrates the urgency of the call to war. However, the subsequent phrase reveals the tragic irony that, despite the call, no one responds, highlighting the disconnect between preparation and action.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which states that the trumpet has been blown and everything is ready.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is תָּקְע֤וּ, they have blown, which governs the structure. It is followed by a series of phrases: a prepositional phrase indicating the instrument used, a verb phrase describing the preparation, and a clause explaining the lack of response.
The structure emphasizes the contrast between the actions taken (blowing the trumpet and preparing) and the lack of response, which is underscored by the finite verb and the participial forms.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates תָּקְע֤וּ as σαλπίσατε (salpisate), which also means 'to sound a trumpet.' This choice reflects a direct correspondence to the Hebrew meaning, indicating a clear call to action.
The use of σαλπίσατε suggests a similar urgency in the Greek context, aligning with the prophetic message delivered by Ezekiel.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ezekiel 7:14 tells us that the people have sounded the trumpet and prepared for battle, but no one is willing to go to war because God's anger is directed at the entire multitude. This verse highlights the futility of their preparations in light of divine judgment.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It signifies a lack of response or willingness to act despite being called to prepare for battle, indicating a deeper spiritual apathy.
God's wrath indicates His judgment against the people's iniquity and disobedience, which renders their preparations meaningless.
The trumpet serves as a call to action, traditionally used to signal important events or mobilize people, but here it highlights the contrast between readiness and actual engagement.
This verse is part of a larger warning about impending judgment, illustrating the consequences of the people's failure to heed God's calls.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Ezekiel 7:14 states, 'They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one goes to war, for My wrath is upon the whole multitude.' The Septuagint (LXX) agrees with the MT in meaning but does not provide a complete word-for-word correspondence, as it has a different word order and structure. The exact wording of the LXX is not provided, but it reflects the same overall message. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not have available readings for this specific verse, so no additional comparisons can be made from those sources.
