Ezekiel 7:11

Ezekiel 7:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Violence is risen up, etc. The "violence" admits of the same twofold interpretation as the "pride" of . 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 and , is that the usual rites of burial would be neglected, and that there would be "no widows to make lamentation" ().

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.
