Ezekiel 7:10-27
10Behold the dayH3117, behold, it is comeH935: the morningH6843 is gone forthH3318; the rodH4294 hath blossomedH6692, prideH2087 hath buddedH6524. 11ViolenceH2555 is risen upH6965 into a rodH4294 of wickednessH7562: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitudeH1995, nor of anyH1991 of theirs: neither shall there be wailingH5089 for them.1 12The timeH6256 is comeH935, the dayH3117 draweth nearH5060: let not the buyerH7069 rejoiceH8055, nor the sellerH4376 mournH56: for wrathH2740 is upon all the multitudeH1995 thereof. 13For the sellerH4376 shall not returnH7725 to that which is soldH4465, although they were yet aliveH2416: for the visionH2377 is touching the whole multitudeH1995 thereof, which shall not returnH7725; neither shall anyH376 strengthenH2388 himself in the iniquityH5771 of his lifeH2416.234 14They have blownH8628 the trumpetH8619, even to make all readyH3559; but none goethH1980 to the battleH4421: for my wrathH2740 is upon all the multitudeH1995 thereof. 15The swordH2719 is withoutH2351, and the pestilenceH1698 and the famineH7458 withinH1004: he that is in the fieldH7704 shall dieH4191 with the swordH2719; and he that is in the cityH5892, famineH7458 and pestilenceH1698 shall devourH398 him.
16But they that escapeH6403 of them shall escapeH6412, and shall be on the mountainsH2022 like dovesH3123 of the valleysH1516, all of them mourningH1993, every oneH376 for his iniquityH5771. 17All handsH3027 shall be feebleH7503, and all kneesH1290 shall be weakH3212 as waterH4325.5 18They shall also girdH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242, and horrorH6427 shall coverH3680 them; and shameH955 shall be upon all facesH6440, and baldnessH7144 upon all their headsH7218. 19They shall castH7993 their silverH3701 in the streetsH2351, and their goldH2091 shall be removedH5079: their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 shall not be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 them in the dayH3117 of the wrathH5678 of YhwhH3068: they shall not satisfyH7646 their soulsH5315, neither fillH4390 their bowelsH4578: because it is the stumblingblockH4383 of their iniquityH5771.67
20As for the beautyH6643 of his ornamentH5716, he setH7760 it in majestyH1347: but they madeH6213 the imagesH6754 of their abominationsH8441 and of their detestable thingsH8251 therein: therefore have I setH5414 it farH5079 from them.8 21And I will giveH5414 it into the handsH3027 of the strangersH2114 for a preyH957, and to the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 for a spoilH7998; and they shall polluteH2490 it. 22My faceH6440 will I turnH5437 also from them, and they shall polluteH2490 my secretH6845 place: for the robbersH6530 shall enterH935 into it, and defileH2490 it.9
23MakeH6213 a chainH7569: for the landH776 is fullH4390 of bloodyH1818 crimesH4941, and the cityH5892 is fullH4390 of violenceH2555. 24Wherefore I will bringH935 the worstH7451 of the heathenH1471, and they shall possessH3423 their housesH1004: I will also make the pompH1347 of the strongH5794 to ceaseH7673; and their holy placesH6942 shall be defiledH5157H2490.10 25DestructionH7089 comethH935; and they shall seekH1245 peaceH7965, and there shall be none.11 26MischiefH1943 shall comeH935 upon mischiefH1943, and rumourH8052 shall be upon rumourH8052; then shall they seekH1245 a visionH2377 of the prophetH5030; but the lawH8451 shall perishH6 from the priestH3548, and counselH6098 from the ancientsH2205. 27The kingH4428 shall mournH56, and the princeH5387 shall be clothedH3847 with desolationH8077, and the handsH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 shall be troubledH926: I will doH6213 unto them after their wayH1870, and according to their desertsH4941 will I judgeH8199 them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068.12
