Ezekiel 7

Punishment for Wickedness Foretold

1Moreover, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 2“And you, sonH1121 of manH120, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 1GodH3068 saysH559 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478: ‘An 2endH7093! The endH7093 is comingH935 on the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the landH776. 3NowH6258 the endH7093 is upon you, for I will sendH7971 My angerH639 against you; I will judgeH8199 you according to your waysH1870 and 3bringH5414 allH3605 your abominationsH8441 upon you. 4And My eyeH5869 will haveH2347 noH3808 pityH2347 on you, norH3808 will I spareH2550 you, but I will 45bringH5414 your waysH1870 upon you, and your abominationsH8441 will be amongH8432 you; then you will 6knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068!’

5“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 7GodH3068 saysH559: ‘A 8disasterH7463, a uniqueH259 disasterH7463, beholdH2009, it is comingH935! 6An endH7093 9is comingH935; the endH7093 has comeH935! It has 10awakenedH7019 againstH413 you; beholdH2009, it has comeH935! 7Your 11doomH6843 has comeH935 to you, you inhabitantH3427 of the landH776. The 12timeH6256 has comeH935, the 13dayH3117 is nearH7138--panicH4103 ratherH3808 thanH3808 joyfulH1906 shoutingH1906 on the mountainsH2022. 8NowH6258 I will shortlyH4480H7138 14pourH8210 outH8210 My wrathH2534 on you and expendH3615 My angerH639 against you; I will 15judgeH8199 you according to your waysH1870 and 16bringH5414 on you allH3605 your abominationsH8441. 9My eyeH5869 will haveH2347 noH3808 pityH2347 norH3808 will I spareH2550 you. I will 17repayH5414 you according to your waysH1870, while your abominationsH8441 are in your midstH8432; then you will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, am strikingH5221.

10‘BeholdH2009, the dayH3117! BeholdH2009, it is comingH935! Your 18doomH6843 has goneH3318 forthH3318; the 19rodH4294 has buddedH6692, arroganceH2087 has blossomedH6524. 11ViolenceH2555 20has grownH6965 into a rodH4294 of 21wickednessH7562. NoneH3808 of them shall remain, noneH3808 of their 22peopleH1995, noneH3808 of their 23wealthH1991, norH3808 anything eminentH5089 among them. 12The 24timeH6256 has comeH935, the dayH3117 has arrivedH5060. Let neitherH408 the 25buyerH7069 rejoiceH8055 norH408 the sellerH4376 mournH56; for 26wrathH2740 is againstH413 allH3605 their multitudeH1995. 13IndeedH3588, the sellerH4376 will not 2728regainH7725 29whatH4465 he soldH4465 as longH5750 as 30they both liveH2421H2425; for the visionH2377 regardingH413 allH3605 their multitudeH1995 will not 31be avertedH7725, norH3808 will anyH376 of them maintainH2388 his lifeH2421 by his wrongdoingH5771.

14‘They have 32blownH8628 the trumpetH8619 and madeH3559 everythingH3605 readyH3559, but noH369 oneH369 is goingH1980 to the battleH4421, for My wrathH2740 is againstH413 allH3605 33their multitudeH1995. 15The 34swordH2719 is outsideH2351 the city and the plagueH1698 and the famineH7458 are withinH1004. Anyone whoH834 is in the fieldH7704 will dieH4191 by the swordH2719, while famineH7458 and the plagueH1698 will consumeH398 those in the cityH5892. 16Even when their survivorsH6412 35escapeH6403, they will be on the mountainsH2022 like 36dovesH3123 of the valleysH1516, allH3605 of them 37moaningH1993, eachH376 over his own wrongdoingH5771. 17AllH3605 38handsH3027 will hangH7503 limpH7503, and allH3605 39kneesH1290 will dripH1980 with waterH4325. 18They will 40putH2296 onH2296 sackclothH8242 and 41shudderingH6427 will overwhelmH3680 them; and shameH955 will be on allH3605 facesH6440, and a 4243baldH7144 patchH7144 on allH3605 their headsH7218. 19They will 44flingH7993 their silverH3701 into the streetsH2351, and their goldH2091 will becomeH1961 an abhorrentH5079 thingH5079; their 45silverH3701 and their goldH2091 will not beH3201 ableH3201 to saveH5337 them on the dayH3117 of the wrathH5678 of the LordH3068. They cannotH3808 satisfyH7646 their 46appetiteH5315, norH3808 can they fillH4390 their stomachsH4578, becauseH3588 their wrongdoingH5771 has becomeH1961 a causeH4383 ofH4383 stumblingH4383.

The Temple Profaned

20Moreover, they transformedH7760 the splendorH6643 of His jewelsH5716 into prideH1347, and 47they madeH6213 the imagesH6754 of their abominationsH8441 and their detestableH8251 thingsH8251 with it; thereforeH5921H3651 I will makeH5414 it an abhorrentH5079 thingH5079 to them. 21And I will handH5414H3027 it overH5414 to the 48foreignersH2114 as plunderH957, and to the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 as spoilsH7998; and they will profaneH2490 it. 22I will also turnH5437 My 49faceH6440 awayH5437 from them, and they will profaneH2490 My treasureH6845; then robbersH6530 will enterH935 and profaneH2490 it.

23‘50MakeH6213 the 51chainH7569, for the landH776 is fullH4390 of 5253bloodyH1818 crimesH4941, and the cityH5892 is 54fullH4390 of violenceH2555. 24Therefore, I will bringH935 the worstH7451 of the 55nationsH1471, and they will takeH3423 possessionH3423 of their housesH1004. I will also putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 toH7673 the 56prideH1347 of the strongH5794 onesH5794, and their 57holyH4720 placesH4720 will be profanedH2490. 25When anguishH7089 comesH935, they will seekH1245 58peaceH7965, but thereH369 willH369 beH369 noneH369. 2659DisasterH1943 will comeH935 upon disasterH1943 and 60rumorH8052 will be added to rumorH8052; then they will seekH1245 a 61visionH2377 from a prophetH5030, but the 62LawH8451 will be lostH6 from the priestH3548, and 63counselH6098 from the eldersH2205. 27The kingH4428 will mournH56, the princeH5387 will be 64clothedH3847 in horrorH8077, and the handsH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 will 65trembleH926. I will dealH6213 with them becauseH4480 of their conductH1870, and by their judgmentsH4941 I will judgeH8199 them. And they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.’”
