EZEKIEL ยท Chapter 7
7:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
7:2 Also, you son of man, thus says the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel;
An end, the end has come upon the four corners of the land.
7:3 Now is the end come upon you, and I will send mine anger upon you,
and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you
all of your abominations.
7:4 And mine eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but
I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in
the midst of you: and all of you shall know that I am the LORD.
7:5 Thus says the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, has come.
7:6 An end has come, the end has come: it watches for you; behold,
it has come.
7:7 The morning has come unto you, O you that dwell in the land: the
time has come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of
the mountains.
7:8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish mine
anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense
you for all of your abominations.
7:9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will
recompense you according to your ways and your abominations that are in
the midst of you; and all of you shall know that I am the LORD that strikes.
7:10 Behold the day, behold, it has come: the morning is gone forth;
the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
7:11 Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall
remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their's: neither shall there
be wailing for them.
7:12 The time has come, the day draws near: let not the buyer rejoice,
nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
7:13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although
they were yet alive: for the vision is concerning the whole multitude thereof,
which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity
of his life.
7:14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none
goes to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
7:15 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.
7:16 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.
7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
7:18 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.
7:19 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 stumbling block of their iniquity.
7:20 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.
7:21 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 pollute it.
7:22 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.
7:23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city
is full of violence.
7:24 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.
7:25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall
be none.
7:26 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.
7:27 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 the LORD.
