The Book of Ezekiel
7:1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 7:2And thou, son of man,
thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel, An end: the end is come upon
the four corners of the land. 7:3Now is the end upon thee, and I will send mine
anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon
thee all thine abominations. 7:4And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I
have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in
the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 7:5Thus saith the Lord
Jehovah: An evil, an only evil; behold, it cometh. 7:6An end is come, the end is
come; it awaketh against thee; behold, it cometh. 7:7Thy doom is come unto thee,
O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and
not of joyful shouting, upon the mountains. 7:8Now will I shortly pour out my
wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee
according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 7:9And
mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according
to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall
know that I, Jehovah, do smite. 7:10Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is
gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 7:11Violence is risen up into
a rod of wickedness; none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of
their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them. 7:12The time is come, the
day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is upon
all the multitude thereof. 7:13For the seller shall not return to that which is sold,
although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof,
none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
7:14They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goeth to the
battle; for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 7:15The sword is without, and
the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the
sword: and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. 7:16But
those of them that escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves
of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity. 7:17All hands shall be
feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. 7:18They shall also gird themselves
with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces,
and baldness upon all their heads. 7:19They shall cast their silver in the streets, and
their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able
to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their
souls, neither fill their bowels; because it hath been the stumblingblock of their
iniquity. 7:20As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made
the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein: therefore
have I made it unto them as an unclean thing. 7:21And I will give it into the hands
of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they
shall profane it. 7:22My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my
secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it. 7:23Make the chain; for
the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. 7:24Wherefore I
will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also
make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.
7:25Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
7:26Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; and they
shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and
counsel from the elders. 7:27The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed
with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will
do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and
they shall know that I am Jehovah.
