2“And you, aO son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: bAn end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
Or earth
3Now dthe end is upon you, and eI will send my anger upon you; fI will judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. 4 gAnd my eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity, but hI will punish you for your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. iThen you will know that I am the Lord.

5Thus says the Lord God: Disaster jafter disaster!

has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. oThe time has come; the day is near, a day of tumult, and not pof joyful shouting on the mountains.
8Now I will soon qpour out my wrath upon you, and rspend my anger against you, sand judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. 9 tAnd my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. uThen you will know that I am the Lord, who strikes.

10 vBehold, the day! Behold, it comes! wYour doom has come; xthe rod has blossomed; pride has budded. 11 yViolence has grown up into za rod of wickedness. aaNone of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.
