Ezekiel 7:2–12

²“O son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel:

‘The end! The end has come

upon the four corners of the land.

³The end is now upon you,

and I will unleash My anger against you.

I will judge you according to your ways

and repay you for all your abominations.

⁴I will not look on you with pity,

nor will I spare you,

but I will punish you for your ways

and for the abominations among you.

Then you will know that I am the LORD.’

⁵This is what the Lord GOD says:

‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster^a —

behold, it is coming!

⁶The end has come!

The end has come!

It has roused itself against you.

Behold, it has come!

⁷Doom has come to you,

O inhabitants of the land.

The time has come;

the day is near;

there is panic on the mountains

instead of shouts of joy.

⁸Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you

and vent My anger against you;

I will judge you according to your ways

and repay you for all your abominations.

⁹I will not look on you with pity,

nor will I spare you,

but I will punish you for your ways

and for the abominations among you.

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

who strikes the blow.

¹⁰Behold, the day is here!

It has come!

Doom has gone out,

the rod has budded,

arrogance has bloomed.

¹¹Their violence has grown into a rod

to punish their wickedness.^b

None of them will remain:

none of their multitude,

none of their wealth,

and nothing of value.

¹²The time has come;

the day has arrived.

Let the buyer not rejoice

and the seller not mourn,

for wrath is upon the whole multitude.
