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.
