# Chapter 7
|
|
1. Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
|
|
2. "And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel:
|
|
'An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
|
|
|
|
3. Now the end has come upon you,
|
|
And I will send My anger against you;
|
|
I will judge you according to your ways,
|
|
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
|
|
|
|
4. My eye will not spare you,
|
|
Nor will I have pity;
|
|
But I will repay your ways,
|
|
And your abominations will be in your midst;
|
|
Then you shall know that I am the Lord!'
|
|
|
|
5. "Thus says the Lord God:
|
|
'A disaster, a singular disaster;
|
|
Behold, it has come!
|
|
|
|
6. An end has come,
|
|
The end has come;
|
|
It has dawned for you;
|
|
Behold, it has come!
|
|
|
|
7. Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
|
|
The time has come,
|
|
A day of trouble is near,
|
|
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.
|
|
|
|
8. Now upon you I will soon pour out My fury,
|
|
And spend My anger upon you;
|
|
I will judge you according to your ways,
|
|
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
|
|
|
|
9. 'My eye will not spare,
|
|
Nor will I have pity;
|
|
I will repay you according to your ways,
|
|
And your abominations will be in your midst.
|
|
Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.
|
|
|
|
10. 'Behold, the day!
|
|
Behold, it has come!
|
|
Doom has gone out;
|
|
The rod has blossomed,
|
|
Pride has budded.
|
|
|
|
11. Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
|
|
None of them shall remain,
|
|
None of their multitude,
|
|
None of them;
|
|
Nor shall there be wailing for them.
|
|
|
|
12. The time has come,
|
|
The day draws near.
|
|
'Let not the buyer rejoice,
|
|
Nor the seller mourn,
|
|
For wrath is on their whole multitude.
|
|
|
|
13. For the seller shall not return to what has been sold,
|
|
Though he may still be alive;
|
|
For the vision concerns the whole multitude,
|
|
And it shall not turn back;
|
|
No one will strengthen himself
|
|
Who lives in iniquity.
|
|
|
|
14. 'They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready,
|
|
But no one goes to battle;
|
|
For My wrath is on all their multitude.
|
|
|
|
15. The sword is outside,
|
|
And the pestilence and famine within.
|
|
Whoever is in the field
|
|
Will die by the sword;
|
|
And whoever is in the city,
|
|
Famine and pestilence will devour him.
|
|
|
|
16. 'Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains
|
|
Like doves of the valleys,
|
|
All of them mourning,
|
|
Each for his iniquity.
|
|
|
|
17. Every hand will be feeble,
|
|
And every knee will be as weak as water.
|
|
|
|
18. They will also be girded with sackcloth;
|
|
Horror will cover them;
|
|
Shame will be on every face,
|
|
Baldness on all their heads.
|
|
|
|
19. 'They will throw their silver into the streets,
|
|
And their gold will be like refuse;
|
|
Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them
|
|
In the day of the wrath of the Lord;
|
|
They will not satisfy their souls,
|
|
Nor fill their stomachs,
|
|
Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
|
|
|
|
20. 'As for the beauty of his ornaments,
|
|
He set it in majesty;
|
|
But they made from it
|
|
The images of their abominations--
|
|
Their detestable things;
|
|
Therefore I have made it
|
|
Like refuse to them.
|
|
|
|
21. I will give it as plunder
|
|
Into the hands of strangers,
|
|
And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
|
|
And they shall defile it.
|
|
|
|
22. I will turn My face from them,
|
|
And they will defile My secret place;
|
|
For robbers shall enter it and defile it.
|
|
|
|
23. 'Make a chain,
|
|
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
|
|
And the city is full of violence.
|
|
|
|
24. Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
|
|
And they will possess their houses;
|
|
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
|
|
And their holy places shall be defiled.
|
|
|
|
25. Destruction comes;
|
|
They will seek peace, but there shall be none.
|
|
|
|
26. Disaster will come upon disaster,
|
|
And rumor will be upon rumor.
|
|
Then they will seek a vision from a prophet;
|
|
But the law will perish from the priest,
|
|
And counsel from the elders.
|
|
|
|
27. 'The king will mourn,
|
|
The prince will be clothed with desolation,
|
|
And the hands of the common people will tremble.
|
|
I will do to them according to their way,
|
|
And according to what they deserve I will judge them;
|
|
Then they shall know that I am the Lord!' "
