New Living Translation

1This message from the LORD arrived for me:

1Then this message came to me from the LORD:

2"Son of Man, this is what Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: 'It's over! All four corners of the land are out of time!

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.

3Your time is up! I'm sending my anger against you to judge you according to how you live your lives, and I'm going to pay you back with the consequences of all your detestable practices.

3No hope remains, for I will unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.

4I won't be showing pity on you and I won't be showing compassion. I'm going to turn your own lifestyles against you while your detestable practices remain among you. Then you'll learn that I am the LORD.'"

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 Lord GOD says: 'It's one evil event after another! "'Look out! It's coming!

5“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Disaster after disaster is coming your way!

6"'The end is coming! "'The end is here! "'And it's looking in your direction! "'Look out! It's arrived!

6The end has come. It has finally arrived. Your final doom is waiting!

7"'Your doom has come to you, you who live in the land. The time has arrived, and the day of confusion is near. There will be no shouts of joy on the mountains.

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.

8Very soon now, I'll pour out my burning anger on you. I'll complete expressing my anger at you, judge you according to your behavior, and repay you for all your detestable practices.

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 won't be showing pity or compassion. I'll repay you according to your behavior while your detestable practices remain among you. And you'll know that I, the LORD, have been attacking you.'"

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"Look out! The day! "Look out! It's coming! "Doom has blossomed. "Arrogance has sprouted!

10“The day of judgment is here; your destruction awaits! The people’s wickedness and pride have blossomed to full flower.

11"Violence has matured into a branch that is wicked. No one will survive from that vast crowd, from their wealthy people, or from the famous among them.

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.

12"The time has come! "The day has arrived. Don't let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller lament, because wrath is coming to attack the entire multitude.

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.

13The seller won't regain what he has sold while the crowd remains alive, because the vision concerning the entire multitude won't be annulled. No person will be able to survive because of the sin in his life.

13Even if the merchants survive, they will never return to their business. For what God has said applies to everyone— it will not be changed! Not one person whose life is twisted by sin will ever recover. The Desolation of Israel

14"They've sounded the alarm, and everyone is prepared, but no one is marching for battle, since I'm angry at the entire multitude.

14“The trumpet calls Israel’s army to mobilize, but no one listens, for my fury is against them all.

15The sword lurks outside, but pestilence and famine are on the prowl inside the house. Whoever is in the field will die by violence, while famine and pestilence will devour those in the city.

15There is war outside the city and disease and famine within. Those outside the city walls will be killed by enemy swords. Those inside the city will die of famine and disease.

16Fugitives will escape to the mountains like doves fleeing through the valleys, all of them moaning because of their own iniquity.

16The survivors who escape to the mountains will moan like doves, weeping for their sins.

17Every hand will be limp. Every knee will glisten with sweat."

17Their hands will hang limp, their knees will be weak as water.

18"They'll clothe themselves with sackcloth, terror will overcome them, shame will cover their faces, and baldness will spread over their entire heads.

18They will dress themselves in burlap; horror and shame will cover them. They will shave their heads in sorrow and remorse.

19They'll fling their silver into the streets, and their gold will be cast away as impure. Their silver and gold won't be able to deliver them during the time of the LORD's wrath. They won't be able to satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs, because their iniquity has tripped them up."

19“They will throw their money in the streets, tossing it out like worthless trash. Their silver and gold won’t save them on that day of the LORD’s anger. It will neither satisfy nor feed them, for their greed can only trip them up.

20"As for his beautiful ornament, he set it up in majesty, but they made detestable images and loathsome idols. Therefore, I'll give them something loathsome—

20They were proud of their beautiful jewelry and used it to make detestable idols and vile images. Therefore, I will make all their wealth disgusting to them.

21I'll give it as plunder into the control of strangers and as the spoils of war to the wicked who will invade the land to profane it.

21I will give it as plunder to foreigners, to the most wicked of nations, and they will defile it.

22I'll turn my face away from them so that they'll defile my treasured place. Robbers will enter and profane it!

22I will turn my eyes from them as these robbers invade and defile my treasured land.

23"Forge a chain, because the land is full of bloody judgment and the city is filled with violence.

23“Prepare chains for my people, for the land is bloodied by terrible crimes. Jerusalem is filled with violence.

24Therefore, I'm bringing the worst of the nations, who will take possession of their houses. I'll cause the pride of the mighty to cease, and their sanctuaries will be profaned.

24I will bring the most ruthless of nations to occupy their homes. I will break down their proud fortresses and defile their sanctuaries.

25"When destruction comes, they'll seek peace, but there will be none to be found.

25Terror and trembling will overcome my people. They will look for peace but not find it.

26Disaster upon disaster will come, followed by rumor after rumor. They'll seek an oracle from the prophet, but the Law will be gone from the priests, and counsel from the elders.

26Calamity will follow calamity; rumor will follow rumor. They will look in vain for a vision from the prophets. They will receive no teaching from the priests and no counsel from the leaders.

27"The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I'll deal with them according to their behavior and I will judge them by how they've judged. Then they'll learn that I am the LORD."

27The king and the prince will stand helpless, weeping in despair, and the people’s hands will tremble with fear. I will bring on them the evil they have done to others, and they will receive the punishment they so richly deserve. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
