¹ Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

^{2 Ref} And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel, An end: the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

^{3 Ref} Now is the end upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations.

^{4 Ref} And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

^{5 Ref} Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil; behold, it cometh.

^{6 Ref} An end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee; behold, it cometh.

^{7 Ref} Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, `a day of' tumult, and not `of' joyful shouting, upon the mountains.

^{8 Ref} Now will I shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations.

^{9 Ref} And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, do smite.

^{10 Ref} Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

^{11 Ref} Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them `shall remain', nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them.

^{12 Ref} 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 Ref} For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

^{14 Ref} They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goeth to the battle; for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.

^{15 Ref} 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 Ref} But those of them that escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

^{17 Ref} All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

^{18 Ref} 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 Ref} They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

^{20 Ref} As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations `and' their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it unto them as an unclean thing.

^{21 Ref} 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 profane it.

^{22 Ref} My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret `place'; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

^{23 Ref} Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

^{24 Ref} Wherefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.

^{25 Ref} Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

^{26 Ref} Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

^{27 Ref} 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 will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹ Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

^{2 Ref} You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end is come on the four corners of the land.

^{3 Ref} Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

^{4 Ref} My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

^{5 Ref} Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.

^{6 Ref} An end is come, the end is come; it awakes against you; behold, it comes.

^{7 Ref} Your doom is come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, [a day of] tumult, and not [of] joyful shouting, on the mountains.

^{8 Ref} Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

^{9 Ref} My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do strike.

^{10 Ref} Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.

^{11 Ref} Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them.

^{12 Ref} The time is come, the day draws near: don't let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all the multitude of it.

^{13 Ref} For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

^{14 Ref} They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all the multitude of it.

^{15 Ref} The sword is outside, 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 Ref} But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

^{17 Ref} All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

^{18 Ref} They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.

^{19 Ref} They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.

^{20 Ref} As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations [and] their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it to them as an unclean thing.

^{21 Ref} 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 profane it.

^{22 Ref} My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret [place]; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

^{23 Ref} Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

^{24 Ref} Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.

^{25 Ref} Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

^{26 Ref} Mischief shall come on mischief, and rumor shall be on rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

^{27 Ref} 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 to them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `And thou, son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah to the ground of Israel:

^{2 Ref} An end, come hath the end on the four corners of the land.

^{3 Ref} Now `is' the end unto thee, And I have sent Mine anger upon thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against thee all thine abominations.

^{4 Ref} And no pity on thee hath Mine eye, nor do I spare, For thy ways against thee I do set, And thine abominations are in thy midst, And ye have known that I `am' Jehovah.

^{5 Ref} Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Evil, a single evil, lo, it hath come.

^{6 Ref} An end hath come, come hath the end, It hath waked for thee, lo, it hath come.

^{7 Ref} Come hath the morning unto thee, O inhabitant of the land! Come hath the time, near `is' a day of trouble, And not the shouting of mountains.

^{8 Ref} Now, shortly I pour out My fury on thee, And have completed Mine anger against thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against thee all thine abominations.

^{9 Ref} And not pity doth Mine eye, nor do I spare, According to thy ways unto thee I give, And thine abominations are in thy midst, And ye have known that I `am' Jehovah the smiter.

^{10 Ref} Lo, the day, lo, it hath come, Gone forth hath the morning, Blossomed hath the rod, flourished the pride.

^{11 Ref} The violence hath 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 Ref} Come hath the time, arrived hath the day, The buyer doth not rejoice, And the seller doth not become a mourner, For wrath `is' unto all its multitude.

^{13 Ref} For the seller to the sold thing turneth not, And yet among the living `is' their life, For the vision `is' unto all its multitude, It doth not turn back, And none by his iniquity doth strengthen his life.

^{14 Ref} They have blown with a trumpet to prepare the whole, And none is going to battle, For My wrath `is' unto all its multitude.

^{15 Ref} The sword `is' without, And the pestilence and the famine within, He who is in a field by sword dieth, And he who is in a city, Famine and pestilence devour him.

^{16 Ref} And escaped away have their fugitives, And they have been on the mountains As doves of the valleys, All of them make a noising -- each for his iniquity.

^{17 Ref} All the hands are feeble, and all knees go -- waters.

^{18 Ref} And they have girded on sackcloth, And covered them hath trembling, And unto all faces `is' shame, And on all their heads -- baldness.

^{19 Ref} Their silver into out-places they cast, And their gold impurity becometh. Their silver and their gold is not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of Jehovah, Their soul they do not satisfy, And their bowels they do not fill, For the stumbling-block of their iniquity it hath been.

^{20 Ref} As to the beauty of his ornament, For excellency He set it, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things -- they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,

^{21 Ref} 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 polluted it.

^{22 Ref} And I have turned My face from them, And they have polluted My hidden place, Yea, come into it have destroyers, and polluted it.

^{23 Ref} Make the chain; for the land Hath been full of bloody judgments, And the city hath been full of violence.

^{24 Ref} And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused to cease the excellency of the strong, And polluted have been those sanctifying them.

^{25 Ref} Destruction hath come, And they have sought peace, and there is none.

^{26 Ref} Mischief on mischief cometh, and report is on report, And they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law doth perish from the priest, And counsel from the elders,

^{27 Ref} The king doth become a mourner, And a prince putteth on desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, From their own way I deal with them, And with their own judgments I judge them, And they have known that I `am' Jehovah!'
