Ezekiel 7:2-9

2 “And you, ^dO son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: ^eAn end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land. ^{▼▼Or earth} 3 Now ^gthe end is upon you, and ^hI will send my anger upon you; ⁱI will judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. 4 ^jAnd my eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity, but ^kI will punish you for your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. ^lThen you will know that I am the Lord.

5 “Thus says the Lord God: Disaster ^mafter disaster! ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts (compare Syriac, Targum); most Hebrew manuscripts Disaster! A unique disaster!} Behold, it comes. 6 ^oAn end has come; the end has come; it has awakened against you. Behold, it comes. 7 ^pYour doom ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain; also verse 10} has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. ^rThe time has come; the day is near, a day of tumult, and not ^sof joyful shouting on the mountains. 8 Now I will soon ^tpour out my wrath upon you, and ^uspend my anger against you, ^vand judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. 9 ^wAnd 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. ^xThen you will know that I am the Lord, who strikes.

Amos 8:2

2 And he said, ^y“Amos, what do you see?” And I said, ^z“A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord said to me,

^aa“The end ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for end and summer fruit sound alike} has come upon my people Israel;
I will never again pass by them.

Micah 7:18

God’s Steadfast Love and Compassion

and passing over transgression
^aefor the remnant of his inheritance?
^afHe does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.

8 But ^agwith an overflowing flood
he will make a complete end of the adversaries, ^{▼▼Hebrew of her place}
and ^aiwill pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 What ^ajdo you plot against the Lord?
^akHe will make a complete end;
trouble will not rise up a second time.
