Wesley: Eze 7:6 - An end

When the end is come upon the wicked world, then an only evil comes upon it. The sorest of temporal judgments have their allays; but the torments of the damned are an evil, an only evil.

JFB: Eze 7:6 - watcheth for thee

Rather, "waketh for thee." It awakes up from its past slumber against thee (Psa 78:65-66).

Clarke: Eze 7:6 - An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee

An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee - This is similar to the second verse; but there is a paronomasia, or play upon letters and words, which is worthy of note. קץ בא בא הקץ הקץ אליך kets ba , ba hakkets , hekits elayich . קצה katsah signifies to make an end or extremity, by cutting off something, and יקץ yakats signifies to awake from sleep: hence קיץ kits , the summer, as the earth and its productions seem then to awake from the sleep of winter. The end or final destruction is here personified; and represented as an executioner who has arisen early from his sleep, and is waiting for his orders to execute judgment upon these offenders. Hence it is said: -

Calvin: Eze 7:6 - NO PHRASE

The whole context has the same meaning, namely, that although the Israelites are deaf, yet they are compelled to attend to God’s continued threats. The Prophet therefore strikes their ears, because he was not immediately attended to, and again he speaks of the end: an end is come, says he, an end is come Here Ezekiel does not affect to use graceful figures of speech, but was rather compelled by necessity to use the repetitions which we see. For the end concerning which he speaks could with difficulty penetrate their minds, for they were always supposing that God could be appeased by various means. Since, therefore, they promised themselves something remaining behind, and put away from them what the Prophet taught about the end, he could not do otherwise than threaten often though he could scarcely persuade them. Hence an end is come, an end is come: it has been watchful against thee: behold it is come When he says it has watched, he signifies haste, not that God had suddenly revenged the wickedness of the ten tribes, but that he regards the torpor of those who indulged in a vain confidence and dream that God’s judgment is far distant. That diabolic proverb — “ Le terme vaut l’argent,” ¹⁴⁹ is still common in the mouths of many, and such impiety has been rife in all ages. When therefore God suspends his judgments, the reprobate intemperately boast themselves as if they could continue in sin with impunity. For this reason the Prophet says, the end is watching — that is, hastening — because although God had delayed he would no longer refrain from destroying the Israelites. It follows —

TSK: Eze 7:6 - An end // watcheth for thee // behold

An end : This is similar to the Eze 7:2; but there is a paronomasia , or play upon words, here, deserving of notice: ketz ba , ba hakketz , haikeetz ailayich ""the end cometh, come is the endcaps1 . icaps0 t waketh for thee.""Ketz is an end; haikeetz is to wake or watch. Eze 7:3; Jer 44:27

watcheth for thee : Heb. awaketh against thee, Zec 13:7

behold : Eze 7:10, Eze 21:25, Eze 39:8; 2Pe 2:5

Poole: Eze 7:6

Thus frequently is it repeated to show the certainty of the thing, the heaviness of the judgment, the great apprehensions they should have of it, and yet the great security they are under. God’ s vengeance seems to slumber, and sinners dream it will never awake, but here the prophet assureth the sinners of Jerusalem, and its people, that God hath awakened his vengeance, which now watcheth to take the first opportunity, or rather to hasten it.

Haydock: Eze 7:6 - Awaked

Awaked. Justice seems to have slept. (Haydock) See ver. 10., and Jeremias i. 12.

Gill: Eze 7:6 - An end is come, the end is come // it watcheth for thee // behold, it is come

An end is come, the end is come,.... These words, so often repeated, show the eagerness and concern of the prophet's mind; the speed and haste destruction was making; and the great stupidity of the people, which required such a frequent repetition:

it watcheth for thee; that is, their damnation slumbered not, but was awake, and waited till the time was up, which was just at hand, for it to take place; see 2Pe 2:3;

behold, it is come; either the end, or rather the evil before mentioned; it was just at the door; it denotes the certainty of it, and its near approach.
