Violence has grown
The Hebrew word for "violence" is "חָמָס" (chamas), which conveys a sense of injustice, cruelty, and oppression. In the context of Ezekiel, this term reflects the moral decay and rampant sinfulness of the people. The phrase "has grown" suggests an escalation or intensification, indicating that violence has become pervasive and deeply rooted in society. This growth of violence is a direct consequence of turning away from God's commandments and embracing wickedness.

into a rod of wickedness
The "rod" symbolizes authority, discipline, or punishment. In this context, it represents the instrument of God's judgment. The "rod of wickedness" implies that the very violence and sinfulness of the people have become the means by which they will be judged. The Hebrew word for "wickedness" is "רֶשַׁע" (resha), denoting moral wrongness and guilt. This phrase underscores the idea that the people's own actions have brought about their downfall, as their wickedness has matured into a tool of divine retribution.

None of them will remain
This phrase emphasizes the totality of the impending judgment. The Hebrew word "אֵין" (ein) means "none" or "nothing," highlighting the complete and utter destruction that is to come. The phrase serves as a stark warning that no one will escape the consequences of their actions. It reflects the seriousness of God's judgment and the certainty of its fulfillment.

none of their multitude
The term "multitude" refers to the large number of people, possibly indicating the population of Jerusalem or the nation of Israel as a whole. The Hebrew word "הָמוֹן" (hamon) can also imply a noisy crowd or tumult, suggesting the chaos and disorder that accompany a society steeped in sin. This phrase reinforces the idea that the judgment will be comprehensive, affecting all segments of the population.

none of their wealth
Wealth, in this context, represents material possessions and economic prosperity. The Hebrew word "הוֹן" (hon) signifies riches or substance. This phrase indicates that not only will the people themselves be judged, but their material wealth will also be stripped away. It serves as a reminder that earthly riches cannot save one from divine judgment and that true security is found only in obedience to God.

and nothing of value
The phrase "nothing of value" underscores the totality of the loss. The Hebrew word "יָקָר" (yaqar) means precious or valuable. This indicates that everything the people hold dear, everything they consider important or worthy, will be taken from them. It is a sobering reminder of the futility of placing trust in temporal things rather than in the eternal God.

(11) Neither shall there be wailing for them.--The word for wailing is another of those words occurring only in this passage which have been variously understood. It is now generally taken for that which is glorious or beautiful. Israel has run its circle; prosperity has developed pride, and pride has culminated in all wickedness; now the end has come, they and their tumult (marg., for multitude) disappear together, and of their glory there shall be nothing left.

Verse 11. - Violence is risen up, etc. The "violence" admits of the same twofold interpretation as the "pride" of ver. 10. 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 Ezekiel 24:16 and Jeremiah 16:4, is that the usual rites of burial would be neglected, and that there would be "no widows to make lamentation" (Psalm 78:64). 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.
