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

1 And it happened, the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 2 And you, son of man, so says the Lord Jehovah to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land. 3 Now the end is on you, and I will send My anger on you and will judge you according to your ways, and will lay on you all your abominations. 4 And My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity. But I will repay your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in your midst; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

5 So says the Lord Jehovah: An evil: Behold, an only evil has come! 6 An end has come, the end has come. It awakes against you; behold, it has come. 7 The encirclement has come to you, O dwellers of the land. The time has come, the day of tumult is near, and not a shout of the mountains.

8 And I will soon pour out My fury on you, and fulfill My anger on you. And I will judge you according to your ways, and will repay you for all your abominations. 9 And My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; I will repay you according to your ways and your abominations that are in your midst. And you shall know that I am Jehovah who strikes.

10 Behold the day! Behold, it has come; the encirclement has gone out; the rod has blossomed; pride has budded. 11 Violence has risen up for a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their riches; nor shall there be wailing for them.

12 The time has come; the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all her multitude. 13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they are still alive; for the vision to all her multitude shall not return, and a man shall not hold his life strong in iniquity.

14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle, for My wrath is on all her multitude. 15 The sword is outside, and the plague and the famine inside. He who is in the field shall die with the sword; and he in the city shall be devoured by famine and plague.

16 But if their fugitives shall escape, then they shall be like doves of the valleys on the mountains, all of them mourning, each one for his iniquity. 17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall go weak as water. 18 They shall also gird on sackcloth, and trembling shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all heads.

19 They shall throw their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be an impure 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 their iniquity has become a stumbling-block for them.
