Ezekiel 7:1-13

Lexham English Bible

Punishment for Abominations Throughout the Land

7 And the word of Yahweh came^[a] to me, saying, ² “And you, son of man,^[b] thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel: ‘The end comes, the end on the four corners of the land. ³ Now the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all your detestable things. ⁴ And my eye will not take pity on you, and I will not show compassion for your ways; on you I will bring your detestable things; they will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.’ ⁵ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! Disaster after disaster is coming! ⁶ The end comes, comes the end! It has awakened against you! Look! It comes! ⁷ Doom is coming against you, the dweller^[c] of the land; the time comes, the day is near, panic and not joy is on the mountains. ⁸ Soon^[d] I will pour out my rage on you, and I will fully vent my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all of your detestable things. ⁹ And my eye will not take pity, and I will not show compassion. According to your ways I will deal with you,^[e] and your detestable things will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh who strikes.^{[f] 10} Look! The day is coming; doom goes out, the staff blossoms, pride sprouts. ¹¹ Violence has grown to become a staff of wickedness; none^[g] from them will remain, and none^[h] from their abundance nor from their wealth;^[i] and prominence will not be among them. ¹² The time has come, the day has arrived; let not the buyer rejoice, and let the seller not mourn, for anger is on all their multitude. ¹³ For the seller will not return to the merchandise while they are still alive,^[j] for the vision is about all of its multitude; it will not change, and a man because of his guilt will not be able to hold onto his life.
