Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible

Ezekiel 7:9

Ye shall know, etc.] another aspect of the result of God's judgment. He would be recognised as the God who punishes sin.

10, 11. The meaning here is rather obscure. If the rod in Ezekiel 7:10 is that of chastisement, pride will mean the same thing. Babylon is called 'Pride' in Jeremiah 50:31 (RM). But the violence in Ezekiel 7:11 seems to be that of Israel, and the rod of wickedness to be a figure for its developed form. Possibly 'the rod' and 'pride' in Ezekiel 7:10 may also refer to Israel's sin.
