²“And you, son of man,^a thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel: ‘The end comes, the end on the four corners of the land. ³Now the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all your detestable things. ⁴And my eye will not take pity on you, and I will not show compassion for your ways; on you I will bring your detestable things; they will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.’ ⁵Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! Disaster after disaster is coming! ⁶The end comes, comes the end! It has awakened against you! Look! It comes! ⁷Doom is coming against you, the dweller^b of the land; the time comes, the day is near, panic and not joy is on the mountains. ⁸Soon^c I will pour out my rage on you, and I will fully vent my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all of your detestable things. ⁹And my eye will not take pity, and I will not show compassion. According to your ways I will deal with you,^d and your detestable things will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh who strikes.^e ¹⁰Look! The day is coming; doom goes out, the staff blossoms, pride sprouts. ¹¹Violence has grown to become a staff of wickedness; none^f from them will remain, and none^g from their abundance nor from their wealth;^h and prominence will not be among them. ¹²The time has come, the day has arrived; let not the buyer rejoice, and let the seller not mourn, for anger is on all their multitude.
