Ezekiel 7:2–12

²“Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel:

“ ‘The end!^t The end has come

upon the four corners^u of the land!

³The end is now upon you,

and I will unleash my anger against you.

I will judge you according to your conduct^v

and repay you for all your detestable practices.^w

⁴I will not look on you with pity;^x

I will not spare you.

I will surely repay you for your conduct

and for the detestable practices among you.

“ ‘Then you will know that I am the Lord.’^y

⁵“This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“ ‘Disaster!^z Unheard-of^a disaster!

See, it comes!

⁶The end^a has come!

The end has come!

It has roused itself against you.

See, it comes!

⁷Doom has come upon you,

upon you who dwell in the land.

The time has come! The day^b is near!^c

There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.

⁸I am about to pour out my wrath^d on you

and spend my anger against you.

I will judge you according to your conduct

and repay you for all your detestable practices.^e

⁹I will not look on you with pity;

I will not spare you.^f

I will repay you for your conduct

and for the detestable practices among you.^g

“ ‘Then you will know that it is I the Lord who strikes you.^h

¹⁰“ ‘See, the day!

See, it comes!

Doom has burst forth,

the rodⁱ has budded,

arrogance has blossomed!

¹¹Violence^j has arisen,^b

a rod to punish the wicked.

None of the people will be left,

none of that crowd—

none of their wealth,

nothing of value.^k

¹²The time has come!

The day has arrived!

Let not the buyer^l rejoice

nor the seller grieve,

for my wrath is on the whole crowd.^m
