Ezekiel 7:1-13 ▼

1 MOREOVER the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Also, Son of man, thus says the LORD God to the land of Israel: The end is come upon the land of Israel, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

3 Now the end is come upon you, and I will pour out my wrath upon you, and I will judge you according to your ways and will recompense you all your abominations.

4 And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will recompense you according to your ways, and your abominations shall be in your midst; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

5 Thus says the LORD God: Behold, an evil is coming for every evil which you have committed.

6 An end is coming, and it shall afflict you.

7 The dawn of destruction is come upon you, O you inhabitant of the land; the time is come, the day of trouble is near.

8 Now I will shortly pour out my wrath upon you, and I will pour out my anger upon you; and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations.

9 And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will recompense you according to your ways; and your abominations shall remain in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the LORD who has smitten you.

10 Behold the day is come, the dawn is gone forth; the staff has blossomed, the shame has budded.

11 Violence has grown upon the staff of the wicked; none of them shall remain, neither their disturbances nor their works; nor shall I cease from punishing them.

12 The time is come, the day draws near; let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller regret; for wrath is upon all their substance.

13 For the buyer shall not return to the seller, for they will not be living; for catastrophe shall not spare any of their possessions; neither shall a man spare his life by means of his corruptness.
