Ezekiel, Chapter 7,  verses 1-19

1 Punishment for Wickedness Foretold
1 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying, 2 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lorda Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land. 3 Now the end is upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you. 4 For My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the LORD!’
5 “Thus says the Lordb Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD, ‘A disaster, unique disaster, behold it is coming! 6 An end is coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you; behold, it has come! 7 Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come, the day is near—tumult rather than joyful shouting on the mountains. 8 Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you and spend My anger against you; judge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations. 9 My eye will show no pity nor will I spare. I willc Lit giverepay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, do the smiting.
10 ‘Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed. 11 Violenced Lit has risenhas grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their people, none of their wealth, nor anything eminent among them. 12 The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn; for wrath is against all their multitude. 13 Indeed, the seller will note Lit return toregainf Lit thing sold, i.e. his inherited landwhat he sold as long asg Lit their life among the living onesthey both live; for the vision regarding all their multitude will noth Lit returnbe averted, nor will any of them maintain his life by his iniquity.
14 ‘They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against alli Lit hertheir multitude. 15 The sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city. 16 Even when their survivors escape, they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of themj Lit moaningmourning, each over his own iniquity. 17 All hands will hang limp and all knees willk Lit run with waterbecome like water. 18 They will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads. 19 They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy theirl Lit soulappetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.
