¹ And the word of Jehovah was unto^▵ me, saying,

² And thou^◦ son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovih^* to the ground of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four wings^* of the land.

³ Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send My anger upon^◦ thee, and will judge thee according·​·to thy ways, and will put^◦ upon thee all thine abominations.

⁴ And My eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; for I will put^◦ thy ways on thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah.

⁵ Thus says the Lord Jehovih; An evil, one evil, behold, has come.

⁶ An end has come, the end has come; it has awakened upon thee; behold, it is come.

⁷ The diadem^* has come to^▵ thee, O thou who dwellest·​·in the land; the time has come, the day of upset is near, and not the heyd^* of the mountains.

⁸ Now will I shortly spill My fury upon thee, and complete My anger on^◦ thee; and I will judge thee according·​·to thy ways, and will give thee all thine abominations.

⁹ And My eye shall not spare, neither will· I ·have·​·pity; I will give to^▵ thee according·​·to thy ways and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and you shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah that smites.

¹⁰ Behold the day, behold, it is come; the diadem is gone·​·out; the rod has flowered, presumptuousness has flourished.

¹¹ Violence has risen·​·up to a rod of wickedness; not one of them^◦ shall remain, nor of their crowd, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing^◦ over^◦ them.

¹² The time is come, the day has arrived; let not the buyer be·​·glad, and let not the seller mourn; for fierceness is against^▵ all her crowd.

¹³ For the seller shall not turn·​·back to^▵ what is sold, and their life is yet among the living; for the vision is to^▵ all the crowd of them, which shall not turn·​·back; and a man^◦ shall not confirm himself in the iniquity of his life.

¹⁴ They have sounded the trumpet, even to make all prepared; but none goes^◦ to the battle; for My fierceness is against^▵ all the multitude^◦.

¹⁵ The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine inside; 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 who escape of them shall escape^◦, and shall be on the mountains as doves of the ravines, all of them making·​·noise, each·​·man^◦ by his iniquity.

¹⁷ All the hands shall be·​·slack, and all knees shall go into the waters.

¹⁸ And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be to^▵ all faces, and baldness upon^◦ all their heads.

¹⁹ They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be isolated as an abomination; their silver and their gold shall not be·​·able to rescue them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: for their iniquity is their stumblingblock.

²⁰ And the elegance of His decoration, He set it with pride; and they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I put^◦ him in isolation from them.

²¹ And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for plunder, and to the wicked of the earth for spoil; and they shall profane it.

²² And My face I will turn·​·around from them^◦, and they shall profane My secret place; and they who break·​·through shall come into it, and profane it.

²³ Make the chain^◦; for the land is·​·full of the judgment of bloods^*, and the city is·​·full of violence.

²⁴ And I will bring the evil ones of the nations, and they shall possess their houses; and I will make the pride of the strong to cease; and their consecrated places shall be profaned.

²⁵ Cutting off^* comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

²⁶ Calamity shall come upon calamity, and report shall be upon report; and they shall seek a vision from the prophet; and the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

²⁷ The king shall mourn, and the chief shall be·​·clothed with astonishment, and the hands of the people of the land shall be vexed; I will do to them after their way, and with their judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah.
