Ezekiel 7 — GMV

7 Verse 1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, thou, son of man, say, ^{Verse 2} Thus saith the Lord; ^{Verse 3} The end is come ^{Verse 4} on thee, the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn nigh, not with tumult, nor with pangs. ^{Verse 5} Now I will pour out mine anger upon thee near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on thee: and I will judge thee for thy ways, and recompense upon thee all thine abominations. ^{Verse 6} Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord that smite thee. ^{Verse 7} Now the end is come to thee, and I will send judgment upon thee: and I will take vengeance on thy ways, and will recompense all thine abominations upon thee. ^{Verse 8} Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense thy way upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. ^{Verse 9} For thus saith the Lord; Behold, the end is come. ^{Verse 10} Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed, ^{Verse 11} pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and that not with tumult, nor with haste. ^{Verse 12} The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn. ^{Verse 13} For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye of hope to his life. ^{Verse 14} Sound ye the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together. ^{Verse 15} There shall be war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city. ^{Verse 16} But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will slay all the rest, every one for his iniquities. ^{Verse 17} All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture. ^{Verse 18} And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, even upon every face, and baldness upon every head. ^{Verse 19} Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities. ^{Verse 20} As for their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them. ^{Verse 21} And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them. ^{Verse 22} And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them. ^{Verse 23} And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity. ^{Verse 24} And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled. ^{Verse 25} And though propitiation shall come, and one shall seek peace, yet there shall be none. ^{Verse 26} There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. ^{Verse 27} The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
