Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

An end: This is similar to the Ezekiel 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 end. It waketh for thee." Ketz is an end; haikeetz is to wake or watch. Ezekiel 7:3, Jeremiah 44:27

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

behold: Ezekiel 7:10, Ezekiel 21:25, Ezekiel 39:8, 2 Peter 2:5

Reciprocal: Jeremiah 6:15 - at the time Jeremiah 30:7 - for Zephaniah 1:14 - it is 1 Peter 4:7 - the end Revelation 14:7 - hour

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The end is come: it watcheth for thee - The end (personified) so long slumbering now awakes and comes upon thee.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 7:6. 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.
