Study note
Setting — The Lord GOD speaks through Ezekiel to the inhabitants of the land at the precise moment when the announced disaster is actively advancing.
The words — קֵץ (ketz) translates as "end," and הֵקִיץ (hekitz) translates as "it has roused itself," describing the termination of the current era as an active force turning against the audience.
The thread — The arrival of an inescapable end appears in Ezekiel 7:3, Jeremiah 44:27, and Zechariah 13:7, where the same linguistic pattern marks sudden divine intervention or judgment.
Why it lands — The text states that the designated period has terminated and the announced consequence is moving forward, requiring the reader to acknowledge that the window for response has closed.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
