EZEKIEL—NOTE ON Ezekiel 7:2 The address to the land (literally, “soil”) of Israel uses a phrase unique to Ezekiel (found 17 times in the book, always referring to the people Israel). Compare “the mountains of Israel,” Ezekiel 6:2. The announcement of an end (also Ezekiel 7:3, Ezekiel 7:6) echoes Amos 8:2, where God announces the coming outpouring of his wrath.
