CHAPTER 7
Moreover the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
2
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.
3
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.
4
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 L
ORD
.
5
Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil,
an only evil, behold, is come.
6
An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is
come.
7
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.
8
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.
9
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 L
ORD
that smiteth.
10
Behold the day, behold, it is
come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
11
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.
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 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.
14
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.
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 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.
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 removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to
deliver them in the day of the wrath of the L
ORD
: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their
bowels: because it is 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
and
of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
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.
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.
23
Make a 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 heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp
