Ezekiel 7:1-19 - Punishment For Abominations Throughout The Land
1 Moreover the word of LORD came to me, saying, 2 And thou, son of man, thus says lord LORD to the land of Israel: An end. The end has come upon the four corners of the land. 3 Now the end is upon thee, and I will send my anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways. And I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 4 And my eye shall not spare thee, nor 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 LORD.
5 Thus says lord LORD: An evil, an only evil, behold, it comes. 6 An end has come. The end has come. It awakens against thee. Behold, it comes. 7 Thy doom has come to thee, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come. The day is near, tumult, and not joyful shouting, upon the mountains.

14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready, but none goes to the battle, for my wrath is upon all the multitude of it. 15 The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine inside. He who is in the field shall die with the sword, and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 But those of them who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys. All of them moaning, each one in his iniquity. 17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. 18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them. And shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 They 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 LORD. They shall not satisfy their souls, nor fill t
