Ezekiel 7:2–12

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

“The end is here!

Wherever you look—

east, west, north, or south—

your land is finished.

³No hope remains,

for I will unleash my anger against you.

I will call you to account

for all your detestable sins.

⁴I will turn my eyes away and show no pity.

I will repay you for all your detestable sins.

Then you will know that I am the Lord.

⁵“This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

Disaster after disaster

is coming your way!

⁶The end has come.

It has finally arrived.

Your final doom is waiting!

⁷O people of Israel, the day of your destruction is dawning.

The time has come; the day of trouble is near.

Shouts of anguish will be heard on the mountains,

not shouts of joy.

⁸Soon I will pour out my fury on you

and unleash my anger against you.

I will call you to account

for all your detestable sins.

⁹I will turn my eyes away and show no pity.

I will repay you for all your detestable sins.

Then you will know that it is I, the Lord,

who is striking the blow.

¹⁰“The day of judgment is here;

your destruction awaits!

The people’s wickedness and pride

have blossomed to full flower.

¹¹Their violence has grown into a rod

that will beat them for their wickedness.

None of these proud and wicked people will survive.

All their wealth and prestige will be swept away.

¹²Yes, the time has come;

the day is here!

Buyers should not rejoice over bargains,

nor sellers grieve over losses,

for all of them will fall

under my terrible anger.
