Ezekiel 7

CHAPTER 7 The End Has Come

1 And [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me, saying, 2 And you, O son of man, thus says Adonai the lord to the land of Israel; End is come; the end is come upon the four wings of the land. 3 [³is come ¹The ²end] now; the end to you. And I shall send my rage. I am against you, and I shall punish you in your ways, and I shall impute against you all your abominations. 4 [²will not ³spare ¹My eye] over you, nor shall I show mercy. For [²your way ³against you ¹I shall impute], and your abominations [²in ³the midst ⁴of you ¹will be]. And you shall know that I am the lord. 5 For thus says Adonai the lord; An evil, one evil; Behold, it is at hand. 6 The end is come, [³is come ¹the ²end] awakened against you.

Punishment Meted Out to Israel

7 Behold, [²is come ¹the wreathen circle] upon you, the one dwelling the land. [³is come ¹The ²time], [³has approached ¹the ²day], not with tumult nor with pangs. 8 Now nearly I will pour out my anger upon you, and I will complete my rage against you, and I will judge you in your ways, and I will impute against you all your abominations. 9 [²shall not ³spare ¹My eye], nor shall I show mercy. According to your ways [²against ³you ¹I will impute], and your abominations [²in ³your midst ¹will be]. And you shall realize that I am the lord, the one striking. 10 Behold, the day of the lord is come, the rod has bloomed. 11 The insolence has risen up, and it will break the reliance of the lawless one, and not with a tumult nor with anxiety. 12 [³is come ¹The ²time]; behold, the day. [²the one ³acquiring things ¹Let not] rejoice! and [²the one ³selling things ¹let not] wail! for wrath for all the magnitude of it. 13 For the one acquiring [²to ³the ⁴thing selling ¹shall not return]; and still in the life of their living, that the vision is for all their multitude -- it shall not return, and a man in the eyes [²his life ¹shall not hold]. 14 Trump with the trumpet, and judge all things! But there is not one going to the war, for my wrath is upon all her multitude. 15 The broadsword from outside, and the famine and plague from inside. The one in the plain [²by ³a broadsword ¹shall come to an end], and the ones in the city [²by famine ³and ⁴plague ¹shall end]. 16 And [⁵shall be escaped ¹the ones ²escaping ³of ⁴them], and they will be upon the mountains as a pigeon meditating. And [²all ¹I will kill], each in his iniquities. 17 All hands shall be enfeebled, and all thighs shall be tainted in wetness. 18 And they shall gird on sackcloths, and [²shall cover ³them ¹stupefaction]. And upon every face shame will be upon them, and upon every head baldness. 19 Their silver shall be tossed in the squares, and their gold shall be spurned. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to rescue them in a day of wrath of the lord. Their souls in no way shall be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled; because the torment for their iniquities took place. 20 A choice ornament for pride -- they made them; and images of their abominations they made from them. Because of this I have given them to them for uncleanness. 21 And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to tear them in pieces; and to the pestilent ones of the earth for spoils. And they shall profane them. 22 And I will turn my face from them, and they shall defile my overseeing, and they shall enter to them unguardedly, and profane them. 23 And they shall produce befouling, because the land is full of judgments of blood, and the city full of lawlessness. And I will bring evils of nations, and they shall inherit their houses. 24 And I will turn the neighing of their strength; and [²shall be defiled ¹their holy things]. 25 Making an atonement shall come, and one shall seek peace, and it will not be.

Woes upon Priest, Prophet and Elders

26 Woe upon woe will be, and message upon message will be; and [²shall be sought ¹a vision] from a prophet, and the law shall be lost of the priest, and counsel from the elders; the king shall mourn, 27 and the ruler shall put on extinction, and the hands of the people of the land shall be disabled. According to their ways I will do to them, and in their judgments I will punish them; and they shall know that I am the lord.
