Bible Chapter Summary
Ezekiel 7 Summary
The End Has Come
The word of the LORD comes declaring that the end is come upon the four corners of the land of Israel. God will judge according to ways and abominations, recompensing all wickedness. Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness, and the time of trouble is near with no relief. The sword without and pestilence and famine within shall devour the people, yet some shall escape to the mountains mourning for their iniquity. Silver and gold shall not deliver them, and the beauty of their ornament, once held in majesty, is now set far from them.

Ezekiel 7:2-3
“Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.”
Ezekiel 7:10-11
“Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.”
Ezekiel 7:15-17
“The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.”
Ezekiel 7:27
“The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.”
