1
Moreover the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came unto me, saying[H559],
2
Also, thou son[H1121] of man[H120], thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069] unto the land[H127] of Israel[H3478]; An end[H7093], the end[H7093] is come[H935] upon the four[H702]corners[H3671] of the land[H776].
3
Now is the end[H7093] come upon thee, and I will send[H7971] mine anger[H639] upon thee, and will judge[H8199] thee according to thy ways[H1870], and will recompense[H5414] upon thee all thine abominations[H8441].
4
And mine eye[H5869] shall not spare[H2347] thee, neither will I have pity[H2550]: but I will recompense[H5414] thy ways[H1870] upon thee, and thine abominations[H8441] shall be in the midst[H8432] of thee: and ye shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
5
Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; An evil[H7451], an only[H259]evil[H7451], behold, is come[H935].
6
An end[H7093] is come[H935], the end[H7093] is come[H935]: it watcheth[H6974] for thee; behold, it is come[H935].
7
The morning[H6843] is come[H935] unto thee, O thou that dwellest[H3427] in the land[H776]: the time[H6256] is come[H935], the day[H3117] of trouble[H4103] is near[H7138], and not the sounding again[H1906] of the mountains[H2022].
8
Now will I shortly[H7138] pour out[H8210] my fury[H2534] upon thee, and accomplish[H3615] mine anger[H639] upon thee: and I will judge[H8199] thee according to thy ways[H1870], and will recompense[H5414] thee for all thine abominations[H8441].
9
And mine eye[H5869] shall not spare[H2347], neither will I have pity[H2550]: I will recompense[H5414] thee according to thy ways[H1870] and thine abominations[H8441] that are in the midst[H8432] of thee; and ye shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068] that smiteth[H5221].
10
Behold the day[H3117], behold, it is come[H935]: the morning[H6843] is gone forth[H3318]; the rod[H4294] hath blossomed[H6692], pride[H2087] hath budded[H6524].
11Violence[H2555] is risen up[H6965] into a rod[H4294] of wickedness[H7562]: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude[H1995], nor of any[H1991] of theirs: neither shall there be wailing[H5089] for them.
12
The time[H6256] is come[H935], the day[H3117] draweth near[H5060]: let not the buyer[H7069]rejoice[H8055], nor the seller[H4376]mourn[H56]: for wrath[H2740] is upon all the multitude[H1995] thereof.
13
For the seller[H4376] shall not return[H7725] to that which is sold[H4465], although they were yet alive[H2416]: for the vision[H2377] is touching the whole multitude[H1995] thereof, which shall not return[H7725]; neither shall any[H376]strengthen[H2388] himself in the iniquity[H5771] of his life[H2416].
14
They have blown[H8628] the trumpet[H8619], even to make all ready[H3559]; but none goeth[H1980] to the battle[H4421]: for my wrath[H2740] is upon all the multitude[H1995] thereof.
15
The sword[H2719] is without[H2351], and the pestilence[H1698] and the famine[H7458]within[H1004]: he that is in the field[H7704] shall die[H4191] with the sword[H2719]; and he that is in the city[H5892], famine[H7458] and pestilence[H1698] shall devour[H398] him.
16
But they that escape[H6403] of them shall escape[H6412], and shall be on the mountains[H2022] like doves[H3123] of the valleys[H1516], all of them mourning[H1993], every one[H376] for his iniquity[H5771].
17
All hands[H3027] shall be feeble[H7503], and all knees[H1290] shall be weak[H3212] as water[H4325].
18
They shall also gird[H2296] themselves with sackcloth[H8242], and horror[H6427] shall cover[H3680] them; and shame[H955] shall be upon all faces[H6440], and baldness[H7144] upon all their heads[H7218].
19
They shall cast[H7993] their silver[H3701] in the streets[H2351], and their gold[H2091] shall be removed[H5079]: their silver[H3701] and their gold[H2091] shall not be able[H3201] to deliver[H5337] them in the day[H3117] of the wrath[H5678] of the LORD[H3068]: they shall not satisfy[H7646] their souls[H5315], neither fill[H4390] their bowels[H4578]: because it is the stumblingblock[H4383] of their iniquity[H5771].
20
As for the beauty[H6643] of his ornament[H5716], he set[H7760] it in majesty[H1347]: but they made[H6213] the images[H6754] of their abominations[H8441] and of their detestable things[H8251] therein: therefore have I set[H5414] it far[H5079] from them.
21
And I will give[H5414] it into the hands[H3027] of the strangers[H2114] for a prey[H957], and to the wicked[H7563] of the earth[H776] for a spoil[H7998]; and they shall pollute[H2490] it.
22
My face[H6440] will I turn[H5437] also from them, and they shall pollute[H2490] my secret[H6845] place: for the robbers[H6530] shall enter[H935] into it, and defile[H2490] it.
23Make[H6213] a chain[H7569]: for the land[H776] is full[H4390] of bloody[H1818]crimes[H4941], and the city[H5892] is full[H4390] of violence[H2555].
24
Wherefore I will bring[H935] the worst[H7451] of the heathen[H1471], and they shall possess[H3423] their houses[H1004]: I will also make the pomp[H1347] of the strong[H5794] to cease[H7673]; and their holy places[H6942] shall be defiled[H2490].
25Destruction[H7089]cometh[H935]; and they shall seek[H1245]peace[H7965], and there shall be none.
26Mischief[H1943] shall come[H935] upon mischief[H1943], and rumour[H8052] shall be upon rumour[H8052]; then shall they seek[H1245] a vision[H2377] of the prophet[H5030]; but the law[H8451] shall perish[H6] from the priest[H3548], and counsel[H6098] from the ancients[H2205].
27
The king[H4428] shall mourn[H56], and the prince[H5387] shall be clothed[H3847] with desolation[H8077], and the hands[H3027] of the people[H5971] of the land[H776] shall be troubled[H926]: I will do[H6213] unto them after their way[H1870], and according to their deserts[H4941] will I judge[H8199] them; and they shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
