Ezekiel
Chapter 7
1
Moreover the word/'doctrinal communication' {
dabar}
of Jehovah/God
came
unto me, saying, 2
"Also,
you son of man,
thus
said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah
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 you,
and
I will send My anger upon you,
and
will judge you according to your Ways,
and
will recompense upon you all your abominations. 4
And
My 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 you shall know that I am Jehovah/God."
5
Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"An
evil . . .
an
only evil . . .
behold,
is come. 6
An
end is come . . .
the
end is come.
It watches for you.
Behold, it is come. 7
The
morning is come unto you . . .
O
you who dwell in the land.
The
time is come . . .
the
day of trouble is near . . .
and
not the sounding again of the mountains. 8
Now
I will shortly pour out My fury upon you,
and
accomplish My anger upon you.
And
I will judge you according to your Ways,
and
will recompense you for all your abominations. 9
And
My 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
you shall know that I am Jehovah/God Who smites. 10
Behold the day, behold . . . it is come.
The morning is gone forth.
The rod has blossomed.
Pride has 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 draws 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 goes 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 who is in the field shall die with the sword.
And
he who is in the city,
famine
and pestilence shall devour him. 16
But
those who 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 Jehovah/God.
They
shall not satisfy their souls,
neither
fill their bowels . . .
because
it is the stumbling-block 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 I will 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
Therefore
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. 25
Destruction
comes . . .
and
they shall seek peace . . .
and
there shall be none. 26
Mischief
shall come upon mischief,
and
rumor shall be upon rumor.
Then
shall they seek a vision of the prophet;
but
the law shall perish from the priest,
and
counsel from the ancients. 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
I
will judge them.
And they shall know that I am Jehovah/God."
