1The word of the Lord came to me:
2You, O mortal, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel:[#Ezek 11.13; Am 8.2; Rev 7.1; 20.8]
An end! The end has come
upon the four corners of the land.
3Now the end is upon you;
I will let loose my anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways;
I will punish you for all your abominations.
4My eye will not spare you; I will have no pity.[#Ezek 5.11; 6.7; 8.18; 11.21]
I will punish you for your ways
while your abominations are among you.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord .
5Thus says the Lord God :[#2 Kings 21.12, 13]
Disaster after disaster! See, it comes.
6An end has come; the end has come.
It has awakened against you; see, it comes!
7Your doom has come to you,[#v 12 ; Isa 22.5; #7.7 Meaning of Heb uncertain]
O inhabitant of the land.
The time has come; the day is near—
of tumult, not of reveling on the mountains.
8Soon now I will pour out my wrath upon you;[#v 3 ; Ezek 6.12; 20.8, 21]
I will spend my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your ways
and punish you for all your abominations.
9My eye will not spare; I will have no pity.
I will punish you according to your ways
while your abominations are among you.
Then you shall know that it is I the Lord who strike.
10See, the day! See, it comes!
Your doom has gone out.
The rod has blossomed; pride has budded.
11Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness.[#Jer 6.7; 16.5, 6; Ezek 24.16, 22]
None of them shall remain,
not their abundance, not their wealth;
no preeminence among them.
12The time has come; the day draws near;
let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn,
for wrath is upon all their multitude.
13For the sellers shall not return to what has been sold as long as they remain alive. For the vision concerns all their multitude; it shall not be revoked. Because of their iniquity, they cannot maintain their lives.[#7.13 Gk: Meaning of Heb uncertain]
14They have blown the horn and made everything ready,
but no one goes to battle,
for my wrath is upon all their multitude.
15The sword is outside; pestilence and famine are inside;[#Deut 32.25; Ezek 5.12]
those in the field die by the sword;
those in the city—famine and pestilence devour them.
16If any survivors escape,[#Isa 38.14; 59.11; Ezek 6.8; 14.22]
they shall be found on the mountains
like doves of the valleys,
all of them moaning over their iniquity.
17All hands shall grow feeble,[#Isa 13.7; Ezek 21.7; Heb 12.12]
all knees turn to water.
18They shall put on sackcloth;[#Isa 15.2, 3; Ezek 27.31; Am 8.10]
horror shall cover them.
Shame shall be on all faces,
baldness on all their heads.
19They shall fling their silver into the streets;[#Prov 11.4; Isa 30.22; Ezek 13.5; 14.3, 4; Zeph 1.18]
their gold shall be treated as unclean.
Their silver and gold cannot save them on the day of the wrath of the Lord . They shall not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity.
20From their beautiful ornament, in which they took pride, they made their abominable images, their detestable things; therefore I will make of it an unclean thing to them.[#Jer 7.30; #7.20 Syr Symmachus: Heb its]
21I will hand it over to strangers as plunder,[#Ps 74.2–8]
to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
they shall profane it.
22I will avert my face from them[#Ezek 39.23, 24]
so that they may profane my treasured place;
the violent shall enter it;
they shall profane it.
23Make a chain![#2 Kings 21.16; Ezek 8.17; 9.9; #7.23 Meaning of Heb uncertain]
For the land is full of bloody crimes;
the city is full of violence.
24I will bring the worst of the nations[#Ezek 21.31; 24.21; 33.28]
to take possession of their houses.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the strong,
and their holy places shall be profaned.
25When anguish comes, they will seek peace,[#Ezek 13.10, 16]
but there shall be none.
26Disaster comes upon disaster;[#Deut 32.23; Ps 74.9; Jer 4.20; Ezek 20.1, 3; 21.7]
rumor follows rumor;
they shall keep seeking a vision from the prophet;
instruction shall perish from the priest
and counsel from the elders.
27The king shall mourn,[#vv 3, 4, 8; Ps 35.26; Ezek 18.20; 26.16]
the prince shall be wrapped in despair,
and the hands of the people of the land shall tremble.
According to their way I will deal with them;
according to their own judgments I will judge them.
And they shall know that I am the Lord .
