The Day of the Lord’s Wrath

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying: And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel:

An end, the end is coming
    upon the four corners of the land.
Now the end has come upon you,
    and I will send My anger upon you,
and will judge you according to your ways,
    and will recompense upon you all your abominations.
My eye shall not spare you,
    nor will I have pity;
but I will recompense your ways upon you,
    and your abominations shall be in your midst.

And you shall know that I am the Lord!

Thus says the Lord God:

A disaster, a singular disaster;
    it is coming!
An end is coming,
    the end has come;
it watches for you;
    it has come!
Your doom has come to you,
    O inhabitant in the land;
the time has come, the day of trouble is near,
    and not the joyful shouting on the mountains.
Now I will shortly pour out My fury upon you,
    and accomplish My anger upon you;
and I will judge you according to your ways,
    and will recompense you for all your abominations.
My eye shall not spare,
    nor will I have pity;
I will recompense you according to your ways,
    and your abominations that are in your midst.

And you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.

10 The day is coming!
    Your doom has gone out;
the rod has blossomed,
    pride has budded.
11 Violence has risen up
    into a rod of wickedness;
none of them shall remain,
    none of their people,
none of their wealth,
    nor anything eminent among them.
12 The time has come,
    the day has drawn near.
Do not let the buyer rejoice,
    or the seller mourn,
    for wrath is against all their multitude.
13 For the seller shall not return
    to that which is sold,
    although they both live;
for the vision concerning the whole multitude
    shall not return;
nor shall any strengthen his life
    by his iniquity.
