Ezekiel Chapter 7 Back Next{7:1} Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
{7:2} You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of
Israel, An end: the end has come on the four
corners of the land.
{7:3} Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your
abominations.
{7:4} My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
{7:5} Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.
{7:6} An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; behold, it comes.
{7:7} Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.
{7:8} Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
{7:9} My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do strike.
{7:10} Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
{7:11} Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There shall be nothing of value among them.
{7:12} The time has come, the day draws near: don't let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.
{7:13} For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
{7:14} They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.
{7:15} The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the
famine within: he who is in the
field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
{7:16} But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like
doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.
{7:17} All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
{7:18} They shall also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and
baldness on all their heads.
{7:19} 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 Yahweh: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
{7:20} As 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 to them as an unclean thing.
{7:21} 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.
{7:22} My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
{7:23} Make the
chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
{7:24} Therefore 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.
{7:25} Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
{7:26} Mischief shall come on mischief, and rumor shall be on rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the
law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the
elders.
{7:27} The 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 to them after their way, and according to their own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
