Ezekiel 7:1-15

1The word of Adonai came to me saying:

2“You, son of man, thus says Adonai Elohim concerning the land of Israel: An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.

3The end is upon you. I will send My anger on you. I will judge you according to your ways. I will bring all your abominations on you.

4My eyes will not spare you nor will I have pity, but I will bring your ways upon you, for your abominations in your midst. Then you will know that I am Adonai.”

5Thus says Adonai Elohim: An evil, a singular evil, behold, it comes.

6An end has come, the end has come! It has awakened against you. Look, it is coming!

7Doom has come upon you, inhabitant of the land! The time has come, the day is near—panic, not joyful shouting on the hills.

8Now, soon, I am about to pour out My fury on you. I will exhaust My anger on you. I will judge you according to your ways. I will bring all your abominations on you.

9My eye will not spare you nor will I have pity—I will repay you for your ways—your abominations are in your midst. Then you will know that it is I, Adonai, who strikes.

10Behold, the day! Look, it is coming! Doom has gone out. The rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.

11Violence grows into a rod of wickedness. Nothing will come from them, nothing from their crowd, nothing from their tumult, nothing distinctive among them.

12The time has come—the day draws near. The buyer will not rejoice, the seller will not play the mourner, for wrath is on the entire crowd.

13For a seller will not regain what he sold, as long as they are alive. For the vision against her whole crowd will not be revoked. No one will preserve his life, because of his iniquity.

14“They have blown the horn. They have made everyone ready. Yet no one goes to the battle. Surely My wrath is on her whole crowd.

15Outside is the sword, inside plague and famine. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword. Whoever is in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.
