The end
The phrase "The end" in Ezekiel 7:6 signifies a definitive conclusion or termination. In Hebrew, the word used is "קֵץ" (qets), which conveys the idea of a boundary or limit. This term is often used in prophetic literature to denote the cessation of a period of time or the fulfillment of a divine decree. In the context of Ezekiel, it marks the impending judgment upon Israel due to their persistent disobedience and idolatry. Historically, this reflects the Babylonian conquest and the destruction of Jerusalem, a pivotal moment that underscores the seriousness of God's warnings through His prophets.

has come
The phrase "has come" indicates the arrival or manifestation of the prophesied event. The Hebrew verb "בָּא" (ba) is used here, which means to come or to enter. This verb emphasizes the certainty and immediacy of the prophesied judgment. It is not a distant future event but a present reality that the people must face. This serves as a sobering reminder of the faithfulness of God's word and the inevitability of His justice when His people stray from His commandments.

the end
The repetition of "the end" reinforces the finality and seriousness of the message. In Hebrew literature, repetition is a common technique used to emphasize a point. Here, it underscores the irreversible nature of the judgment that is about to unfold. It is a call to attention, urging the listeners to recognize the gravity of their situation and the consequences of their actions. This repetition serves as a divine alarm, awakening the people to the urgency of repentance and the need to return to God.

has come
Again, the phrase "has come" is used to stress the immediacy and certainty of the event. The repetition of this phrase, along with "the end," creates a rhythmic and emphatic declaration that leaves no room for doubt or delay. It is a powerful reminder that God's patience, though long-suffering, has limits, and His justice will ultimately prevail. This serves as both a warning and a call to repentance, highlighting the importance of aligning one's life with God's will before it is too late.

it has awakened against you
The phrase "it has awakened against you" suggests a stirring or arousal of divine action. The Hebrew root "עוּר" (ur) means to rouse or awaken. This imagery conveys the idea that the judgment, which may have seemed dormant or delayed, is now active and directed towards the people. It is as if the consequences of their actions have been lying in wait and are now fully realized. This serves as a vivid illustration of the cause-and-effect nature of sin and the inevitable awakening of God's righteous judgment when His people persist in rebellion.

Behold, it has come!
The exclamation "Behold, it has come!" serves as a final, emphatic declaration of the reality of the situation. The Hebrew word "הִנֵּה" (hinneh) is often used to draw attention to something significant or to announce an important event. This call to "behold" is an invitation to witness the fulfillment of God's word and to recognize the seriousness of the moment. It is a call to awareness, urging the people to see the truth of their circumstances and the fulfillment of the prophetic warning. This serves as a powerful conclusion to the verse, leaving the audience with a sense of urgency and the need for immediate response.

Verse 6. - It watcheth for thee; better, with the Revised Version, it awaketh against thee. So the LXX., Vulgate, Luther. The Hebrew presents a paronomasia between the noun and verb - hakketz, hekitz - which cannot be reproduced in English. The destined doom is thought of as rousing itself to its appointed work. The word is cognate with that rendered "awaketh" in Psalm 78:65.
