Ezekiel - Chapter 7 | American Standard Version

  • 1. Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
  • 2. And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel, An end: the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
  • 3. Now is the end upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
  • 4. And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
  • 5. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil; behold, it cometh.
  • 6. An end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee; behold, it cometh.
  • 7. Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, {cf15i a day of} tumult, and not {cf15i of} joyful shouting, upon the mountains.
  • 8. Now will I shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
  • 9. And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, do smite.
  • 10. Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
  • 11. Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them {cf15i shall remain}, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them.
  • 12. 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.
  • 13. For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
  • 14. They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goeth to the battle; for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
  • 15. 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.
  • 16. But those of them that escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.
  • 17. All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
  • 18. 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.
  • 19. They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
  • 20. As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations {cf15i and} their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it unto them as an unclean thing.
  • 21. 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 profane it.
  • 22. My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret {cf15i place}; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
  • 23. Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
  • 24. Wherefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.
  • 25. Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
  • 26. Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
  • 27. 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 Jehovah.
