Syntax & Misc.

Verse 6

• Verse five and six end with the same two words, הִנֵּ֖ה בָּאָֽה.  This is a common idiom in Ezekiel that guarantees the surety of a future event (Ezekiel 7:10, 21:12, 30:9, 33:33, 39:8; also Jeremiah 10:22).
• The fs participle, בָּאָֽה, refers to the feminine pharse אַחַ֥ת רָעָ֖ה.

Verse 7

• The participial phrase is substantive, יוֹשֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֑רֶץ “dwellers of the land.”
• The last two clauses are verbless, קָר֛וֹב הַיּ֥וֹם  “the day is near” and מְהוּמָ֖ה וְלֹא־הֵ֥ד הָרִֽים “tumult rather than cheer will be [on] the mountains.”

Verse 8

• The adverbial, מִקָּר֗וֹב, could be understood temporally (“shortly”) or spatially (“from near-by”).
• See comment on אף from Ezekiel 7:3.

Verse 9

• This verse is exactly parallel to verse four with the exception of three words:  (1) v. 4 specifies on whom the Lord compassion will not be, עָלַ֖יִךְ, (2) v. 4 uses the word כִּ֣י instead of a kaf preposition and (3) v. 9 adds the Hiphil participle,מַכֶּֽה.
