1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “And you, son of man, || Thus said Lord YHWH to the ground of Israel: 2 An end, the end has come on the four corners of the land. 3 Now [is] the end for you, || And I have sent My anger on you, || And judged you according to your ways, || And set all your abominations against you. 4 And My eye has no pity on you, nor do I spare, || For I set your ways against you, || And your abominations are in your midst, || And you have known that I [am] YHWH. 5 Thus said Lord YHWH: Calamity, a single calamity, behold, it has come. 6 An end has come, the end has come, || It has awoken for you, behold, it has come. 7 The circlet has come to you, O inhabitant of the land! The time has come, a day of trouble [is] near, || And not the shouting of mountains. 8 Now shortly I pour out My fury on you, || And have completed My anger against you, || And judged you according to your ways, || And set all your abominations against you. 9 And My eye does not pity, nor do I spare, || I give to you according to your ways, || And your abominations are in your midst, || And you have known that [it is] I, YHWH, striking. 10 Behold, the day, behold, it has come, || The circlet has gone forth, || The rod has blossomed, the pride has flourished. 11 The violence has risen to a rod of wickedness, || There is none of them, nor of their multitude, || Nor of their noise, nor is there wailing for them. 12 The time has come, the day has arrived, || The buyer does not rejoice, || And the seller does not become a mourner, || For wrath [is] to all its multitude. 13 For the seller does not turn to the sold thing, || And yet their life [is] among the living, || For the vision [is] to all its multitude, || It does not turn back, || And none strengthens his life by his iniquity. 14 They have blown with a horn to prepare the whole, || And none is going to battle, || For My wrath [is] to all its multitude. 15 The sword [is] outside, || And the pestilence and the famine within, || He who is in a field dies by sword, || And he who is in a city—Famine and pestilence devour him. 16 And their fugitives have escaped away, || And they have been on the mountains || As doves of the valleys, || All of them making a noise—each for his iniquity. 17 All the hands are feeble, and all knees go [as] waters. 18 And they have girded on sackcloth, || And trembling has covered them, || And shame [is] on all faces, || And baldness on all their heads. 19 They cast their silver into out-places, || And their gold becomes impurity. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them, || In a day of the wrath of YHWH, || They do not satisfy their soul, || And they do not fill their bowels, || For it has been the stumbling-block of their iniquity. 20 As for the beauty of his ornament, || He set it for excellence, || And the images of their abominations, || Their detestable things—they made in it, || Therefore I have given it to them for impurity, 21 And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, || And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, || And they have defiled it. 22 And I have turned My face from them, || And they have defiled My hidden place, || Indeed, destroyers have come into it, and defiled it. 23 Make the chain; for the land || Has been full of bloody judgments, || And the city has been full of violence. 24 And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, || And they have possessed their houses, || And I have caused the excellence of the strong to cease, || And those sanctifying them have been defiled. 25 Destruction has come, || And they have sought peace, and there is none. 26 Disaster comes on disaster, and report is on report, || And they have sought a vision from a prophet, || And law perishes from [the] priest, || And counsel from [the] elderly, 27 The king becomes a mourner, || And a prince puts on desolation, || And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, || I deal with them from their own way, || And I judge them with their own judgments, || And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
