Ezekiel

ESV

Chapter 7

1The word of the Lord came to me: 2“And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land. 3Now the end is upon you, and I will send my anger upon you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. 4My eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity. But I will punish you for your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 5“Thus says the Lord God: Disaster after disaster! Behold, it comes. 6An end has come; the end has come; it has awakened against you. Behold, it comes! 7Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come; the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting on the mountains. 8Now I will soon pour out my wrath upon you and spend my anger upon you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. 9My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. Then you will know that I am the Lord who strikes. 10“Behold, the day! Behold, it comes! Your doom has come; the rod has blossomed; pride has budded. 11Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; there will be no lamenting for them. 12The time has come; the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude. 13For the seller shall not return to what he has sold, however long he may live. For the vision concerning the whole multitude is for an end; it shall not be revoked. And because of his iniquity, none can maintain his life. 14They have blown the trumpet and made all ready, but none goes to battle, for my wrath is upon all their multitude. 15“The sword is without; pestilence and famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword, and he who is in the city will be devoured by famine and pestilence. 16And if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each over his iniquity. 17All hands will be feeble, and all knees will turn to water. 18They will put on sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads. 19They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it was the stumbling block of their iniquity. 20He appointed his beautiful ornament for pride, and they made their abominable images and their detestable things of it; therefore I make it an unclean thing to them. 21And I will give it into the hands of foreigners as plunder, and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will profane it. 22I will turn my face from them, and they may profane my treasured place. Robbers shall enter and profane it. 23“Forge a chain, for the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence. 24I will bring the worst of the nations to take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their holy places shall be profaned. 25When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none. 26Disaster will come upon disaster; rumor will follow rumor. They will seek a vision from the prophet, but the law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. 27The king will mourn, the prince will be wrapped in despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own judgments I will judge them. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
