| 1 | And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: | The word of the LORD came to me: | The word of the LORD came to me: | |
| 2 | “And as for you, son of man: Thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is coming, the end is coming, over the four regions of the earth. | “And you, O son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land. | “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to the land of Israel: “’The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land! | |
| 3 | Now the end is over you, and I will send my fury upon you. And I will judge you according to your ways. And I will place all your abominations before you. | Now the end is upon you, and I will send my anger upon you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. | The end is now upon you, and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. | |
| 4 | And my eye will not be lenient over you, and I will not take pity. Instead, I will set your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.” | And my eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity, but I will punish you for your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. Then you will know that I am the LORD. | I will not look on you with pity; 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.’ | |
| 5 | Thus says the Lord God: “One affliction, behold, one affliction is approaching. | “Thus says the Lord GOD: Disaster after disaster! Behold, it comes. | “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’Disaster! Unheard-of disaster! See, it comes! | |
| 6 | The end is coming, the end is coming. It has been vigilant against you. Behold, it is approaching. | An end has come; the end has come; it has awakened against you. Behold, it comes. | The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. See, it comes! | |
| 7 | Destruction is coming over you, who live upon the earth. The time is approaching, the day of slaughter is near, and it is not of the glory of the mountains. | Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come; the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting on the mountains. | Doom has come upon you, upon you who dwell in the land. The time has come! The day is near! There is panic, not joy, on the mountains. | |
| 8 | Now, very soon, I will pour out my wrath upon you, and I will fulfill my fury in you. And I will judge you according to your ways, and I will set upon you all your crimes. | Now I will soon pour out my wrath upon you, and spend my anger against you, and judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. | I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. | |
| 9 | And my eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. Instead, I will place your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, who is striking. | And 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. Then you will know that I am the LORD, who strikes. | I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. “’Then you will know that it is I the LORD who strikes you. | |
| 10 | Behold, the day! Behold, it approaches! Destruction has gone forth, the rod has blossomed, arrogance has germinated. | “Behold, the day! Behold, it comes! Your doom has come; the rod has blossomed; pride has budded. | “’See, the day! See, it comes! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed! | |
| 11 | Iniquity has risen up into a rod of impiety. There shall be nothing left of them, and of their people, and of the sound of them. And there shall be no rest for them. | Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them. | Violence has arisen, a rod to punish the wicked. None of the people will be left, none of that crowd— none of their wealth, nothing of value. | |
| 12 | The time is approaching; the day is very near. Whoever buys should not rejoice. And whoever sells should not mourn. For wrath is over all of their people. | The time has come; the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude. | The time has come! The day has arrived! Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for my wrath is on the whole crowd. | |
| 13 | For whoever sells will not return to what he has sold, but as yet their life will be among the living. For the vision concerning their entire multitude will not turn back. And man will not be strengthened in the iniquity of his life. | For the seller shall not return to what he has sold, while they live. For the vision concerns all their multitude; it shall not turn back; and because of his iniquity, none can maintain his life. | The seller will not recover the property that was sold— as long as both buyer and seller live. For the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve their life. | |
| 14 | Sound the trumpet! Let everyone be prepared! And yet there is no one who may go to battle. For my wrath is over all their people. | “They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but none goes to battle, for my wrath is upon all their multitude. | “’They have blown the trumpet, they have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle, for my wrath is on the whole crowd. | |
| 15 | The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine are inside. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword. And whoever is in the city will be devoured by the pestilence and the famine. | The sword is without; pestilence and famine are within. He who is in the field dies by the sword, and him who is in the city famine and pestilence devour. | Outside is the sword; inside are plague and famine. Those in the country will die by the sword; those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague. | |
| 16 | And those who flee from among them will be saved. And they will be among the mountains, like doves in steep valleys, with everyone of them trembling, each one because of his iniquity. | And if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one over his iniquity. | The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins. | |
| 17 | All hands will be weakened, and all knees will flow with water. | All hands are feeble, and all knees turn to water. | Every hand will go limp; every leg will be wet with urine. | |
| 18 | And they will wrap themselves with haircloth, and dread will cover them. And shame will be upon every face, and baldness will be upon all of their heads. | They put on sackcloth, and horror covers them. Shame is on all faces, and baldness on all their heads. | They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Every face will be covered with shame, and every head will be shaved. | |
| 19 | Their silver will be thrown away, and their gold will be like a dunghill. Their silver and their gold will have no power to free them in the day of the fury of the Lord. They will not satisfy their soul, and their bellies will not be filled, because of the scandal of their iniquity. | They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity. | “’They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin. | |
| 20 | And they have set arrogance as the ornament of their necklaces, and they have made images of their abominations and graven idols. Because of this, I have let it be an uncleanness for them. | His beautiful ornament they used for pride, and they made their abominable images and their detestable things of it. Therefore I make it an unclean thing to them. | They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols. They made it into vile images; therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them. | |
| 21 | And I will give it into the hands of foreigners as a spoil, and to the impious of the earth as a prey, and they will defile it. | And I will give it into the hands of foreigners for prey, and to the wicked of the earth for spoil, and they shall profane it. | I will give their wealth as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile it. | |
| 22 | And I will avert my face from them, and they will violate my place of mystery. And untamed persons will enter into it, and they will defile it. | I will turn my face from them, and they shall profane my treasured place. Robbers shall enter and profane it. | I will turn my face away from the people, and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure. They will enter it and will defile it. | |
| 23 | Cause it to be closed. For the land has been filled with the judgment of blood, and the city is full of iniquity. | “Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence. | “’Prepare chains! For the land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence. | |
| 24 | And I will lead in the most sinful among the Gentiles, and they will possess their houses. And I will cause the arrogance of the powerful to be quieted. And they will possess their sanctuaries. | I will bring the worst of the nations to take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the strong, and their holy places shall be profaned. | I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated. | |
| 25 | When anguish overwhelms them, they will seek peace, and there will be none. | When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none. | When terror comes, they will seek peace in vain. | |
| 26 | Disturbance will follow after disturbance, and rumor after rumor. And they will seek the vision of the prophet, and the law will perish from the priest, and counsel will perish from the elders. | Disaster comes upon disaster; rumor follows rumor. They seek a vision from the prophet, while the law perishes from the priest and counsel from the elders. | Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor. They will go searching for a vision from the prophet, priestly instruction in the law will cease, the counsel of the elders will come to an end. | |
| 27 | The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with grief, and the hands of the people of the earth will be greatly disturbed. I will act toward them in accord with their own way, and I will judge them in accord with their own judgments. And they shall know that I am the Lord.” | The king mourns, the prince is wrapped in despair, and the hands of the people of the land are paralyzed by terror. According to their way I will do to them, and according to their judgments I will judge them, and they shall know that I am the LORD.” | The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. “’Then they will know that I am the LORD.’” | |
