This phrase highlights the principle of divine retribution, where the violence and sin of the people become the very means of their punishment. The "rod" symbolizes authority and discipline, often used in Scripture to denote correction (Proverbs 13:24). In the context of Ezekiel, the Israelites' own actions have led to their downfall, fulfilling the warnings given by prophets like Jeremiah (Jeremiah 6:19).

Teaching Points The Consequences of SinSin, particularly violence and wickedness, leads to destruction and judgment. We must be vigilant in our personal lives to avoid the paths that lead to such outcomes. The Futility of Earthly Wealth Material possessions and wealth cannot save us from God's judgment. Our focus should be on spiritual riches and treasures in heaven. God’s Sovereignty in Judgment God is just and sovereign, and His judgments are righteous. We must trust in His timing and justice, even when it seems delayed. Repentance and Restoration While judgment is certain for unrepentant sin, God always offers a path to restoration for those who turn back to Him with sincere hearts. The Role of Prophets Prophets like Ezekiel serve as God’s messengers, calling people back to righteousness. We should heed the warnings and teachings found in Scripture.

What Does Ezekiel 7:11 Mean Their violence has grownEzekiel pictures Judah’s society so saturated with brutality that, like the pre-Flood world (“Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence,” Genesis 6:11), bloodshed seems to seep from every street. The prophet has already cataloged murder and oppression in the temple courts (Ezekiel 8:17) and on the mountains (Ezekiel 6:13). Micah condemned the same culture: “They covet fields and seize them” (Micah 2:2). Violence isn’t a side issue; it has become their defining trait. into a rod What they have nurtured now hardens into the very instrument that will strike them. Scripture often portrays a “rod” as corrective discipline—parents wield it in Proverbs 13:24, and God wields it in Isaiah 10:5, calling Assyria “the rod of My anger.” Judah’s own sin forges the switch that will fall across her back. As Psalm 7:16 says, “His violence will recoil on his own head.” to punish their wickedness This is righteous recompense, not random calamity. Earlier in the chapter God says, “I will judge you according to your ways; I will repay all your abominations” (Ezekiel 7:3-4). The principle reverberates through Scripture: “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap” (Galatians 6:7). Romans 1:24 shows the pattern—God gives people over to the very sins they choose, and those sins become the judgment. None of them will remain The impending Babylonian invasion will leave no safe corner. “I will stretch out My hand against them and make the land more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblah” (Ezekiel 6:14). Jeremiah spoke the same word: “Disaster is going forth from nation to nation… those slain by the LORD on that day will extend from one end of the earth to the other” (Jeremiah 25:29-33). Divine wrath will not be partial. none of their multitude The masses who felt secure in their numbers will discover that crowds do not deter God. Ezekiel 5:12 predicted the ratios: “A third of your people will die by plague or be consumed by famine… a third will fall by the sword… a third I will scatter to every wind.” Amos 9:1-4 underscores that no multitude can hide from Him. none of their wealth Silver and gold, painstakingly amassed, will evaporate: “They will throw their silver into the streets… their gold will become an unclean thing” (Ezekiel 7:19). Proverbs 11:4 warns, “Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,” and James 5:1-3 declares that hoarded treasure will testify against the ungodly. Babylon will pillage every vault and storeroom (2 Kings 24:13-14). and nothing of value Even items cherished for beauty or prestige—the temple vessels, family heirlooms, ornate houses—will be carted off or reduced to ash (2 Kings 25:13-17). The exile will prove that when God judges, “their fortified cities will be destroyed… so that none will dwell there” (Jeremiah 51:43). Anything they once prized becomes meaningless. summary Ezekiel 7:11 sketches a solemn cause-and-effect: unchecked violence hardens into God’s disciplinary rod. Because Judah refuses to repent, judgment sweeps away people, crowds, wealth, and every treasured possession. The verse warns that sin is never static—it grows, forges its own weapon, and finally consumes all the sinner trusts in. Only obedience and humble dependence on the LORD secure lasting safety. (11) Neither shall there be wailing for them.--The word for wailing is another of those words occurring only in this passage which have been variously understood. It is now generally taken for that which is glorious or beautiful. Israel has run its circle; prosperity has developed pride, and pride has culminated in all wickedness; now the end has come, they and their tumult (marg., for multitude) disappear together, and of their glory there shall be nothing left.Verse 11. - Violence is risen up, etc. The "violence" admits of the same twofold interpretation as the "pride" of ver. 10. None of them shall remain. The interpolated verb, though grammatically necessary, weakens the force of the Hebrew. "None of them; none of their multitude; none of their wealth." Neither shall there be wailing for them. The noun is not found elsewhere. Taken, as the Authorized Version takes it, the thought, like that of Ezekiel 24:16 and Jeremiah 16:4, is that the usual rites of burial would be neglected, and that there would be "no widows to make lamentation" (Psalm 78:64). The Revised Version "eminency" implies the loss of all that constituted greatness. Cornill and the LXX. ("beauty" or "gaiety") practically agree with this. The Vulgate gives requies, and Furst "a gathering, or tumult of the people." Probably the text is corrupt.Parallel Commentaries ...
