\v 1 The word of Yahweh came to me and said,
|
|
\v 2 "You, son of man—The Lord Yahweh says this to the land of Israel,
|
|
\q 'An end! An end has come to the four borders of the land!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Now the end is upon you, for I am sending out my wrath on you, and I will judge you according to your ways;
|
|
\q then I will bring all your abominations upon you.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 For my eyes will not look compassionately at you, and I will not spare you; but I will bring your ways upon you,
|
|
\q and your abominations will be in your midst, so you will know that I am Yahweh!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 5 The Lord Yahweh says this:
|
|
\q Disaster! Disaster after disaster! Behold, it is coming!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 An end is surely coming; the end has woken up against you! Behold, it is coming!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Your doom is coming to you who inhabit the land.
|
|
\q The time has come; the day of destruction is near, and the mountains will no longer be joyful.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Now before long I will pour out my fury against you and fill up my wrath upon you
|
|
\q when I judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 For my eye will not look compassionately, and I will not spare you. As you have done, I will do to you;
|
|
\q and your abominations will be in your midst so you will know that I am Yahweh, the one punishing you.
|

\q
|
|
\v 10 Behold! The day is coming. Doom has gone out.
|
|
\q The rod has bloomed with the blossom of pride.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness—
|
|
\q none of them, and none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and none of their importance will last!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 The time is coming; the day has come close. Do not let the buyer rejoice,
|
|
\q nor the seller mourn, since my anger is on the entire multitude!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 For the seller will never return to that which is sold for as long as they live,
|
|
\q since the vision is against the entire multitude. They will not return,
|
|
\q for no man living in his sin will be strengthened!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but there is no one marching to battle;
|
|
\q since my anger is on the entire multitude!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 The sword is on the outside, and plague and famine are inside the building.
|
|
\q Those who are in the field will die by the sword, while famine and plague will consume those in the city.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 But some survivors will escape from among them, and they will go to the mountains.
|
|
\q Like doves of the valleys, all of them will moan—each man for in his iniquity.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 Every hand will falter and every knee will be weak as water,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 and they will wear sackcloth, and terror will cover them;
|
|
\q and shame will be on every face, and baldness on all of their heads.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 They will throw their silver into the streets and their gold will be like refuse. Their silver and their gold
|
|
\q will not be able to rescue them in the day of Yahweh's rage. Their life will not be saved,
|
|
\q and their hunger will not be satisfied, because their iniquity has become a stumbling block.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 They took jeweled ornaments in their pride and they formed idolatrous figures depicting their abominations and their detestable things they made with them,
|
|
\q therefore, I am making these things unclean to them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 And I will give those things into the hand of strangers as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as plunder,
|
|
\q and they will defile them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 Then I will turn my face away from them when they defile my cherished place;
|
|
\q bandits will enter it and defile it!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 Make a chain, because the land is filled with the judgment of blood,
|
|
\q and the city is full of violence.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 24 So I will bring the most wicked of the nations, and they will possess their houses,
|
|
\q and I will bring an end to the pride of the mighty, for their holy places will be defiled!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 25 Fear will come! They will seek peace, but there will be none!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 26 Disaster upon disaster will come, and there will be rumor after rumor!
|
|
\q Then they will seek a vision from the prophet, but the law will perish from the priest and advice from the elders.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 27 The king will mourn and the prince will dress in despair,
|
|
\q while the hands of the people of the land will tremble in fear. According to their own ways I will do this to them!
|
|
\q And I will judge them with their own standards until they know that I am Yahweh!'"
