Ezekiel 7:13

Key Reflection

In Ezekiel 7:13, the prophet declares that a momentous day of divine judgment is at hand for Jerusalem. The original audience would have understood this as a direct warning to both those who bought and sold goods during times of economic distress. The text suggests that neither the buyer’s gain nor the seller’s loss should be celebrated or mourned, as wrath has come upon all involved—highlighting the impartiality of God's judgment across social classes in ancient Israel.
