Ezekiel 7:2-12

2“O son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel:

‘The end! The end has comeupon the four corners of the land.3The end is now upon you,and I will unleash My anger against you.I will judge you according to your waysand repay you for all your abominations.4I will not look on you with pity,nor will I spare you,but I will punish you for your waysand for the abominations among you.

Then you will know that I am the LORD.’

5This is what the Lord GOD says:

‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster1—behold, it is coming!6The end has come!The end has come!It has roused itself against you.Behold, it has come!7Doom has come to you,O inhabitants of the land.The time has come;the day is near;there is panic on the mountainsinstead of shouts of joy.

8Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon youand vent My anger against you;I will judge you according to your waysand repay you for all your abominations.9I will not look on you with pity,nor will I spare you,but I will punish you for your waysand for the abominations among you.Then you will know that it is I, the LORD,who strikes the blow.

10Behold, the day is here!It has come!Doom has gone out,the rod has budded,arrogance has bloomed.11Their violence has grown into a rodto punish their wickedness.2None of them will remain:none of their multitude,none of their wealth,and nothing of value.

12The time has come;the day has arrived.Let the buyer not rejoiceand the seller not mourn,for wrath is upon the whole multitude.
