Ezekiel 7

Punishment for Wickedness Foretold

1Moreover, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 2“And you, sonH1121 of manH120, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478, ‘An 2endH7093! The endH7093 is comingH935 on the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the landH776. 3NowH6258 the endH7093 is upon you, and I will sendH7971 My angerH639 against you; I will judgeH8199 you according to your waysH1870 and bringH5414 allH3605 your abominationsH8441 upon you. 4For My eyeH5869 will haveH2347 noH3808 pityH2347 on you, norH3808 will I spareH2550 you, but I will 3bringH5414 your waysH1870 upon you, and your abominationsH8441 will be amongH8432 you; then you will 4knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068!’

5“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 5GodH3068, ‘A 6disasterH7463, uniqueH259 disasterH7463, beholdH2009 it is comingH935! 6An endH7093 is comingH935; the endH7093 has comeH935! It has 7awakenedH7019 againstH413 you; beholdH2009, it has comeH935! 7Your doomH6843 has comeH935 to you, O inhabitantH3427 of the landH776. The 8timeH6256 has comeH935, the 9dayH3117 is nearH7138--tumultH4103 ratherH3808 thanH3808 joyfulH1906 shoutingH1906 on the mountainsH2022. 8NowH6258 I will shortlyH7138 10pourH8210 out My wrathH2534 on you and spendH3615 My angerH639 against you; 11judgeH8199 you according to your waysH1870 and bringH5414 on you allH3605 your abominationsH8441. 9My eyeH5869 will showH2347 noH3808 pityH2347 norH3808 will I spareH2550. I will 12repayH5414 you according to your waysH1870, while your abominationsH8441 are in your midstH8432; then you will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, do the smitingH5221.

10‘BeholdH2009, the dayH3117! BeholdH2009, it is comingH935! Your doomH6843 has goneH3318 forthH3318; the 13rodH4294 has buddedH6692, arroganceH2087 has blossomedH6524. 11ViolenceH2555 14has grownH6965 into a rodH4294 of 15wickednessH7562. NoneH3808 of them shall remain, noneH3808 of their peopleH1995, noneH3808 of their 16wealthH1991, norH3808 anything eminentH5089 among them. 12The 17timeH6256 has comeH935, the dayH3117 has arrivedH5060. Let not the 18buyerH7069 rejoiceH8055 norH408 the sellerH4376 mournH56; for 19wrathH2740 is againstH413 allH3605 their multitudeH1995. 13IndeedH3588, the sellerH4376 will not 2021regainH7725 22whatH4465 he soldH4465 as longH5750 as 23they both liveH2421H2425; for the visionH2377 regardingH413 allH3605 their multitudeH1995 will not 24be avertedH7725, norH3808 will anyH376 of them maintainH2388 his lifeH2421 by his iniquityH5771.

14‘They have 25blownH8628 the trumpetH8619 and madeH3559 everythingH3605 readyH3559, but noH369 oneH369 is goingH1980 to the battleH4421, for My wrathH2740 is againstH413 allH3605 26their multitudeH1995. 15The 27swordH2719 is outsideH2351 and the plagueH1698 and the famineH7458 are withinH1004. He whoH834 is in the fieldH7704 will dieH4191 by the swordH2719; famineH7458 and the plagueH1698 will also consumeH398 those in the cityH5892. 16Even when their survivorsH6412 28escapeH6403, they will be on the mountainsH2022 like 29dovesH3123 of the valleysH1516, allH3605 of them 3031mourningH1993, eachH376 over his own iniquityH5771. 17AllH3605 32handsH3027 will hangH7503 limpH7503 and allH3605 kneesH1290 will 33becomeH1980 like waterH4325. 18They will 34girdH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242 and 35shudderingH6427 will overwhelmH3680 them; and shameH955 will be on allH3605 facesH6440 and 36baldnessH7144 on allH3605 their headsH7218. 19They will 37flingH7993 their silverH3701 into the streetsH2351 and their goldH2091 will becomeH1961 an abhorrentH5079 thingH5079; their 38silverH3701 and their goldH2091 will not be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 them in the dayH3117 of the wrathH5678 of the LordH3068. They cannotH3808 satisfyH7646 their 39appetiteH5315 norH3808 can they fillH4390 their stomachsH4578, for their iniquityH5771 has becomeH1961 an occasionH4383 of stumblingH4383.

The Temple Profaned

20They transformedH7760 the beautyH6643 of His ornamentsH5716 into prideH1347, and 40they madeH6213 the imagesH6754 of their abominationsH8441 and their detestableH8251 thingsH8251 with it; thereforeH5921H3651 I will makeH5414 it an abhorrentH5079 thingH5079 to them. 21I will giveH5414 it into the handsH3027 of the 41foreignersH2114 as plunderH957 and to the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 as spoilH7998, and they will profaneH2490 it. 22I will also turnH5437 My 42faceH6440 from them, and they will profaneH2490 My secretH6845 placeH6845; then robbersH6530 will enterH935 and profaneH2490 it.

23‘43MakeH6213 the chainH7569, for the landH776 is fullH4390 of 4445bloodyH1818 crimesH4941 and the cityH5892 is 46fullH4390 of violenceH2555. 24Therefore, I will bringH935 the worstH7451 of the 47nationsH1471, and they will possessH3423 their housesH1004. I will also make the 48prideH1347 of the strongH5794 onesH5794 ceaseH7673, and their 49holyH6942 placesH4720 will be profanedH2490. 25When anguishH7089 comesH935, they will seekH1245 50peaceH7965, but thereH369 will be noneH369. 2651DisasterH1943 will comeH935 upon disasterH1943 and 52rumorH8052 will be added to rumorH8052; then they will seekH1245 a 53visionH2377 from a prophetH5030, but the 54lawH8451 will be lostH6 from the priestH3548 and 55counselH6098 from the eldersH2205. 27The kingH4428 will mournH56, the princeH5387 will be 56clothedH3847 with horrorH8077, and the handsH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 will 57trembleH926. AccordingH4480 to their conductH1870 I will dealH6213 with them, and by their judgmentsH4941 I will judgeH8199 them. And they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.’”
