Ezekiel 7
New International Version
The End Has Come
7 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel:
“‘The end!(A) The end has come
upon the four corners(B) of the land!
3 The end is now upon you,
and I will unleash my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your conduct(C)
and repay you for all your detestable practices.(D)
4 I will not look on you with pity;(E)
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.’(F)
5 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Disaster!(G) Unheard-of[a] disaster!
See, it comes!
6 The end(H) has come!
The end has come!
It has roused itself against you.
See, it comes!
7 Doom has come upon you,
upon you who dwell in the land.
The time has come! The day(I) is near!(J)
There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.
8 I am about to pour out my wrath(K) on you
and spend my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your conduct
and repay you for all your detestable practices.(L)
9 I will not look on you with pity;
I will not spare you.(M)
I will repay you for your conduct
and for the detestable practices among you.(N)
“‘Then you will know that it is I the Lord who strikes you.(O)
10 “‘See, the day!
See, it comes!
Doom has burst forth,
the rod(P) has budded,
arrogance has blossomed!
11 Violence(Q) has arisen,[b]
a rod to punish the wicked.
None of the people will be left,
none of that crowd—
none of their wealth,
nothing of value.(R)
12 The time has come!
The day has arrived!
Let not the buyer(S) rejoice
nor the seller grieve,
for my wrath is on the whole crowd.(T)
13 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.(U)
14 “‘They have blown the trumpet,(V)
they have made all things ready,
but no one will go into battle,
for my wrath(W) is on the whole crowd.
15 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.(X)
16 The fugitives(Y) who escape
will flee to the mountains.
Like doves(Z) of the valleys,
they will all moan,
each for their own sins.(AA)
17 Every hand will go limp;(AB)
every leg will be wet with urine.(AC)
18 They will put on sackcloth(AD)
and be clothed with terror.(AE)
Every face will be covered with shame,
and every head will be shaved.(AF)
19 “‘They will throw their silver into the streets,(AG)
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.(AH)
It will not satisfy(AI) their hunger
or fill their stomachs,
for it has caused them to stumble(AJ) into sin.(AK)
20 They took pride in their beautiful jewelry
and used it to make(AL) their detestable idols.
They made it into vile images;(AM)
therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them.(AN)
21 I will give their wealth as plunder(AO) to foreigners
and as loot to the wicked of the earth,
who will defile it.(AP)
22 I will turn my face(AQ) away from the people,
and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure.
They will enter it
and will defile it.(AR)
23 “‘Prepare chains!
For the land is full of bloodshed,(AS)
and the city is full of violence.(AT)
24 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(AU) will be desecrated.(AV)
25 When terror comes,
they will seek peace in vain.(AW)
26 Calamity upon calamity(AX) will come,
and rumor upon rumor.
They will go searching for a vision from the prophet,(AY)
priestly instruction in the law will cease,
the counsel of the elders will come to an end.(AZ)
27 The king will mourn,
the prince will be clothed with despair,(BA)
and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.
I will deal with them according to their conduct,(BB)
and by their own standards I will judge them.
“‘Then they will know that I am the Lord.(BC)’”

Segond 21
Imminence de la punition
7 La parole de l'Eternel m’a été adressée: 2 «Sois attentif, fils de l’homme! Voici ce que dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel, au sujet du territoire d'Israël:
C’est la fin!
La fin vient sur les quatre extrémités du pays!
3 Maintenant la fin vient sur toi.
J'enverrai ma colère contre toi,
je te jugerai conformément à ta conduite,
je ferai retomber toutes tes pratiques abominables sur toi.
4 Mon regard sera sans pitié pour toi
et je n'aurai aucune compassion.
Au contraire, je ferai retomber ta conduite sur toi
et tes pratiques abominables se manifesteront au milieu de toi.
Vous reconnaîtrez alors que je suis l'Eternel.
5 »Voici ce que dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel:
C’est un malheur, un malheur unique! Le voici qui vient!
6 La fin vient, la fin vient, elle se réveille contre toi!
La voici qui vient!
7 Ton tour arrive, habitant du pays!
Le moment vient, le jour approche!
C’est la panique, il n’y a plus de cris de joie dans les montagnes!
8 »Maintenant, très bientôt, je vais déverser ma fureur sur toi,
je vais aller jusqu’au bout de ma colère contre toi.
Je te jugerai conformément à ta conduite,
je ferai retomber toutes tes pratiques abominables sur toi.
9 Mon regard sera sans pitié
et je n'aurai aucune compassion.
Je ferai retomber ta conduite sur toi,
et tes pratiques abominables se manifesteront au milieu de toi.
Vous reconnaîtrez alors que je suis l'Eternel, celui qui frappe.
10 »Voici le jour! Le voici qui vient!
Ton tour arrive!
Le bâton a fleuri!
L’arrogance s’est épanouie!
11 La violence a grandi pour servir de bâton à la méchanceté:
il ne reste plus rien d'eux, de leur foule bruyante et de leur abondance.
On ne trouve plus rien de valeur chez eux.
12 »Le moment vient, le jour approche.
Que l'acheteur ne se réjouisse pas,
que le vendeur ne se lamente pas,
car ma colère ardente éclate contre toute leur foule bruyante.
13 En effet, le vendeur ne récupérera pas ce qu’il a vendu,
même s’il reste encore en vie,
car la vision concernant toute cette foule bruyante ne sera pas révoquée.
Chacun mène une vie marquée par les fautes; ils ne retrouveront pas des forces.
14 On sonne de la trompette, tout est prêt,
mais personne n’ira au combat,
car ma colère ardente éclate contre toute leur foule bruyante.
15 »L'épée est à l’extérieur, la peste et la famine à l’intérieur!
Celui qui est aux champs mourra par l'épée
et celui qui est dans la ville sera dévoré par la famine et par la peste.
16 Leurs rescapés s’échapperont
et se retrouveront, sur les montagnes, pareils aux colombes des vallées:
ils seront tous en train de gémir,
chacun sur sa faute.
17 Tous baisseront les bras,
tous auront les genoux qui flanchent.
18 Ils se couvriront de sacs
et un tremblement s’emparera d’eux.
La honte se lira sur tous les visages,
et toutes les têtes seront rasées.
19 »Ils jetteront leur argent dans les rues
et leur or sera un objet d’horreur.
Leur argent et leur or seront incapables de les délivrer,
le jour de la fureur de l'Eternel;
ils ne pourront plus les rassasier
ni remplir leurs intestins,
car c’est ce qui les pousse à la faute.
20 Ils ont fait de la beauté de leurs bijoux un sujet de fierté
et ils les ont utilisés pour fabriquer leurs abominables statues, leurs monstruosités. Voilà pourquoi j’en fais pour eux un objet d’horreur.
21 Je les donnerai en pillage à des étrangers,
et comme butin aux méchants de la terre,
afin qu'ils les profanent.
22 Je me détournerai d'eux
et l'on profanera mon lieu secret.
Des hommes violents y pénétreront et le profaneront.
23 »Prépare les chaînes,
car le pays est rempli de meurtres,
et la ville de violence.
24 Je ferai venir les plus méchantes des nations
et elles prendront possession de leurs maisons.
Je mettrai fin à l'orgueil des puissants
et leurs sanctuaires seront profanés.
25 »L’angoisse vient. Ils chercheront la paix, mais ils ne la trouveront pas.
26 Il arrivera malheur sur malheur,
une rumeur succédera à une autre rumeur.
Ils réclameront sans succès une vision aux prophètes,
les prêtres ne connaîtront plus la loi,
les anciens n’auront plus de conseils à donner.
27 Le roi prendra le deuil, le prince aura la consternation pour habit,
les mains de la population du pays seront tremblantes.
Je les traiterai en fonction de leur conduite,
je les jugerai d’après leurs jugements,
et ils reconnaîtront que je suis l'Eternel.»

New King James Version
Judgment on Israel Is Near
7 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel:
(A)‘An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Now the end has come upon you,
And I will send My anger against you;
I will judge you (B)according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
4 (C)My eye will not spare you,
Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
(D)Then you shall know that I am the Lord!’
5 “Thus says the Lord God:
‘A disaster, a singular (E)disaster;
Behold, it has come!
6 An end has come,
The end has come;
It has dawned for you;
Behold, it has come!
7 (F)Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
(G)The time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.
8 Now upon you I will soon (H)pour out My fury,
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
9 ‘My eye will not spare,
Nor will I have pity;
I will [a]repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.
10 ‘Behold, the day!
Behold, it has come!
(I)Doom has gone out;
The rod has blossomed,
Pride has budded.
11 (J)Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
None of them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of [b]them;
(K)Nor shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time has come,
The day draws near.
‘Let not the buyer (L)rejoice,
Nor the seller (M)mourn,
For wrath is on their whole multitude.
13 For the seller shall not return to what has been sold,
Though he may still be alive;
For the vision concerns the whole multitude,
And it shall not turn back;
No one will strengthen himself
Who lives in iniquity.
14 ‘They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready,
But no one goes to battle;
For My wrath is on all their multitude.
15 (N)The sword is outside,
And the pestilence and famine within.
Whoever is in the field
Will die by the sword;
And whoever is in the city,
Famine and pestilence will devour him.
16 ‘Those who (O)survive will escape and be on the mountains
Like doves of the valleys,
All of them mourning,
Each for his iniquity.
17 Every (P)hand will be feeble,
And every knee will be as weak as water.
18 They will also (Q)be girded with sackcloth;
Horror will cover them;
Shame will be on every face,
Baldness on all their heads.
19 ‘They will throw their silver into the streets,
And their gold will be like refuse;
Their (R)silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them
In the day of the wrath of the Lord;
They will not satisfy their souls,
Nor fill their stomachs,
Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
20 ‘As for the beauty of his ornaments,
He set it in majesty;
(S)But they made from it
The images of their abominations—
Their detestable things;
Therefore I have made it
Like refuse to them.
21 I will give it as (T)plunder
Into the hands of strangers,
And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
And they shall defile it.
22 I will turn My face from them,
And they will defile My secret place;
For robbers shall enter it and defile it.
23 ‘Make a chain,
For (U)the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the (V)worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be (W)defiled.
25 [c]Destruction comes;
They will seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 (X)Disaster will come upon disaster,
And rumor will be upon rumor.
(Y)Then they will seek a vision from a prophet;
But the law will perish from the priest,
And counsel from the elders.
27 ‘The king will mourn,
The prince will be clothed with desolation,
And the hands of the common people will tremble.
I will do to them according to their way,
And according to what they deserve I will judge them;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord!’ ”
