Ezekiel 7:1-15

Complete Jewish Bible

‘The end! The end is coming
to the four corners of the land!
³ Now the end is upon you!
I will send my anger upon you,
I will judge you according to your ways.
I will bring on you all your disgusting practices.
⁴ My eye will not spare you, I will have no pity,
but I will bring your ways upon you,
and your disgusting practices will be done among you.
Then you will know that I am Adonai.’

⁵ “Here is what Adonai Elohim says:

‘Disaster, unique disaster — here it comes!
⁶ The end is coming! The end is coming!
It rouses itself against you — here it comes!
⁷ Doom has come to you,
you who live in the land!
The time has come, the day is near,
for tumult, not joyful shouts on the mountains.
⁸ Now, soon, I will pour out my fury on you,
I will spend my anger on you;
I will judge you according to your ways
I will bring on you all your disgusting practices.
⁹ My eye will not spare you, I will have no pity;
but will bring upon you what your ways deserve;
and your disgusting practices will be among you.
Then you will know it is I, Adonai, striking you.

¹⁰ “‘Here is the day! Here it comes!
Doom has gone out, the rod has blossomed,
arrogance has budded. ¹¹ Violence has grown
into a rod of wickedness.
Nothing is left of them,
nothing of their crowds,
nothing of their wealth —
there is nothing of importance in them.
¹² The time has come, the day has arrived;
let neither buyer rejoice nor seller regret;
for wrath is coming to all her many people.
¹³ For the seller will not return to what he sold,
even if he is still alive;
for though the vision was brought to all her many people,
nobody repented.
Each kept living his own wicked life;
they weren’t strong enough [to repent].
¹⁴ The shofar has sounded, everything is ready,
but no one goes out to the battle,
for my wrath is coming to all her many people.

¹⁵ “‘Outside is the sword, inside plague and famine.
Those in the country will die by the sword.
And as for those in the city,
plague and famine will eat them up.
