Ezekiel 7:1-19 - Punishment For Abominations Throughout The Land

¹ And the word of the Lord came to me: ² “Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the land of Israel:

An end! The end has come
on the four corners of the land.
³ The end is now upon you;
I will send My anger against you
and judge you according to your ways.
I will punish you for all your detestable practices.
⁴ I will not look on you with pity or spare you,
but I will punish you for your ways
and for your detestable practices within you.
Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”

⁵ This is what the Lord God says:

Look, one disaster after another is coming!
⁶ An end has come; the end has come!
It has awakened against you.
Look, it is coming!
⁷ Doom has come on you,
inhabitants of the land.
The time has come; the day is near.
There will be panic on the mountains
and not celebration.

⁸ I will pour out My wrath on you very soon;
I will exhaust My anger against you
and judge you according to your ways.
I will punish you for all your detestable practices.
⁹ I will not look on you with pity or spare you.
I will punish you for your ways
and for your detestable practices within you.
Then you will know
that it is I, Yahweh, who strikes.

¹⁰ Look, the day is coming!
Doom has gone out.
The rod has blossomed;
arrogance has bloomed.
¹¹ Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness.
None of them will remain:
none of their multitude,
none of their wealth,
and none of the eminent among them.

¹² The time has come; the day has arrived.
Let the buyer not rejoice
and the seller not mourn,
for wrath is on all her masses.
¹³ The seller will certainly not return
to what was sold
as long as he and the buyer remain alive.
For the vision concerning all its people
will not be revoked,
and none of them will preserve
his life because of his iniquity.

¹⁴ They have blown the trumpet
and prepared everything,
but no one goes to war,
for My wrath is on all her masses.
¹⁵ The sword is on the outside;
plague and famine are on the inside.
Whoever is in the field will die by the sword,
and famine and plague will devour
whoever is in the city.

¹⁶ The survivors among them will escape
and live on the mountains
like doves of the valley,
all of them moaning,
each over his own iniquity.
¹⁷ All their hands will become weak,
and all their knees will turn to water.
¹⁸ They will put on sackcloth,
and horror will overwhelm them.
Shame will cover all their faces,
and all their heads will be bald.

¹⁹ They will throw their silver into the streets,
and their gold will seem like something filthy.
Their silver and gold will be unable to save them
in the day of the Lord’s wrath.
They will not satisfy their appetites
or fill their stomachs,
for these were the stumbling blocks
that brought about their iniquity.
