LEB - Ezekiel - 7

7:1  And the word of Yahweh ⌞came⌟ to me, saying,

7:2  “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel: ‘The end comes, the end on the four corners of the land.

7:3  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.

7:4  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.’

7:5  Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! Disaster after disaster is coming!

7:6  The end comes, comes the end! It has awakened against you! Look! It comes!

7:7  Doom is coming against you, the dweller of the land; the time comes, the day is near, panic and not joy is on the mountains.

7:8  ⌞Soon⌟ 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.

7:9  And my eye will not take pity, and I will not show compassion. According to your ways I will ⌞deal with you⌟, and your detestable things will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh who strikes.

7:10  Look! The day is coming; doom goes out, the staff blossoms, pride sprouts.

7:11  Violence has grown to become a staff of wickedness; ⌞none⌟ from them will remain, and ⌞none⌟ from their abundance nor from their wealth; and prominence will not be among them.

7:12  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.

7:13  For the seller will not return to the merchandise ⌞while they are still alive⌟, 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.

7:14  They shall blow on the trumpet and prepare ⌞everything⌟, but there is no one going to the battle, for my anger is on all of their multitude.

7:15  The sword ⌞is outside⌟, and the plague and the famine ⌞are inside⌟; the one who is in the field will die by the sword, and the one who is in the city, famine and plague will devour him.

7:16  And if their survivors will escape, they will be on the mountains, like the doves of the valley, all of them groaning, each because of his guilt.

7:17  All of the hands will hang limp, and all of ⌞the knees will be wet with urine⌟.

7:18  And they will wear sackcloth, and horror will cover them, and on all of the faces will be shame, and baldness on all of their heads.

7:19  Their silver they will discard on the streets, and filth will be their gold; their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them on the day of the wrath of Yahweh. They will not satisfy their ⌞hunger⌟ and their stomachs they will not fill, for their guilt will be their stumbling block.

7:20  “ ‘And the beauty of its ornament ⌞he made into a prideful thing⌟ and made with it their detestable things and their vile idols; therefore I will make it into an impure thing for them.

7:21  And I will give it into the hand of strangers as plunder and to the wicked people of the earth as spoil, and they will defile it.

7:22  And I will turn my face from them, and they will defile my treasured place, and violent ones will enter and defile it.

7:23  Make a chain for the land; it is full of ⌞bloody crimes⌟ and the city is full of violence.

7:24  And I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will take possession of their houses, and I will put to an end the pride of the mighty ones, and their sanctuaries will be defiled.

7:25  Anguish comes, and they will seek peace, and there will be none.

7:26  Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor will be upon rumor. And they will seek a vision from a prophet, but instruction will perish from the priest and counsel from the elders.

7:27  The king will mourn, and the prince will be dressed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their way I will do to them, and according to their judgments I will judge them, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
