Moreover the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying
,
Also, thou son of man
, thus saith
the Lord
GOD
unto the land
of Israel
; An end
, the end
is come
upon the four
corners
of the land
.
Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send
mine anger
upon thee, and will judge
thee according to thy ways
, and will recompense
upon thee all thine abominations
.
And mine eye shall not spare
thee, neither will I have pity
: but I will recompense
thy ways
upon thee, and thine abominations
shall be in the midst
of thee: and ye shall know
that I am the LORD
.
Thus saith the Lord
GOD
; An evil
, an only
evil
, behold, is come
.
An end is come
, the end
is come
: it watcheth
for thee; behold, it is come
.
The morning is come
unto thee, O thou that dwellest
in the land
: the time
is come
, the day
of trouble
is near
, and not the sounding again
of the mountains
.
Now will I shortly pour out
my fury
upon thee, and accomplish
mine anger
upon thee: and I will judge
thee according to thy ways
, and will recompense
thee for all thine abominations
.
And mine eye shall not spare
, neither will I have pity
: I will recompense
thee according to thy ways
and thine abominations
that are in the midst
of thee; and ye shall know
that I am the LORD
that smiteth
.
Behold the day, behold, it is come
: the morning
is gone forth
; the rod
hath blossomed
, pride
hath budded
.
Violence is risen up
into a rod
of wickedness
: none of them shall remain , nor of their multitude
, nor of any
of theirs: neither shall there be wailing
for them.
The time is come
, the day
draweth near
: let not the buyer
rejoice
, nor the seller
mourn
: for wrath
is upon all the multitude
thereof.
For the seller shall not return
to that which is sold
, although they were yet alive
: for the vision
is touching the whole multitude
thereof, which shall not return
; neither shall any
strengthen
himself in the iniquity
of his life
.
They have blown the trumpet
, even to make all ready
; but none goeth
to the battle
: for my wrath
is upon all the multitude
thereof.
The sword is without
, and the pestilence
and the famine
within
: he that is in the field
shall die
with the sword
; and he that is in the city
, famine
and pestilence
shall devour
him.
But they that escape of them shall escape
, and shall be on the mountains
like doves
of the valleys
, all of them mourning
, every one
for his iniquity
.
All hands shall be feeble
, and all knees
shall be weak
as water
.
They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth
, and horror
shall cover
them; and shame
shall be upon all faces
, and baldness
upon all their heads
.
They shall cast their silver
in the streets
, and their gold
shall be removed
: their silver
and their gold
shall not be able
to deliver
them in the day
of the wrath
of the LORD
: they shall not satisfy
their souls
, neither fill
their bowels
: because it is the stumblingblock
of their iniquity
.
As for the beauty of his ornament
, he set
it in majesty
: but they made
the images
of their abominations
and of their detestable things
therein: therefore have I set
it far
from them.
And I will give it into the hands
of the strangers
for a prey
, and to the wicked
of the earth
for a spoil
; and they shall pollute
it.
My face will I turn
also from them, and they shall pollute
my secret
place : for the robbers
shall enter
into it, and defile
it.
Make a chain
: for the land
is full
of bloody
crimes
, and the city
is full
of violence
.
Wherefore I will bring the worst
of the heathen
, and they shall possess
their houses
: I will also make the pomp
of the strong
to cease
; and their holy places
shall be defiled
.
Destruction cometh
; and they shall seek
peace
, and there shall be none.
Mischief shall come
upon mischief
, and rumour
shall be upon rumour
; then shall they seek
a vision
of the prophet
; but the law
shall perish
from the priest
, and counsel
from the ancients
.
The king shall mourn
, and the prince
shall be clothed
with desolation
, and the hands
of the people
of the land
shall be troubled
: I will do
unto them after their way
, and according to their deserts
will I judge
them; and they shall know
that I am the LORD
.
