Chapter 7
1:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2: Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto
the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3: Now is the end come upon
thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all
thine abominations.
4: And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy
ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
5: Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
6: An end is come, the end is
come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
7: The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the
land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8: Now will
I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and
will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
9: And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I
will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am
the LORD that smiteth.
10: Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath
blossomed, pride hath budded.
11: Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain,
nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12: 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: For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching
the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14: They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the
multitude thereof.
15: 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: But they
that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one
for his iniquity.
17: All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18: 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: They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their
silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their
souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
20: As for the beauty of
his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein:
therefore have I set it far from them.
21: 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 pollute it.
22: My face will I turn also from them,
and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23: Make a chain:
for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24: Wherefore I will bring the worst
of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places
shall be defiled.
25: Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26: Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet;
but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27: 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 the LORD.
