| 7:1
| Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
|
| 7:2
| 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.
|
| 7:3
| 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.
|
| 7:4
| 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.
|
| 7:5
| Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
|
| 7:6
| An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is
come.
|
| 7:7
| 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.
|
| 7:8
| 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.
|
| 7:9
| 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.
|
| 7:10
| Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod
hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
|
| 7:11
| 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.
|
| 7:12
| 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.
|
| 7:13
| 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.
|
| 7:14
| 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.
|
| 7:15
| 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.
|
| 7:16
| 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.
|
| 7:17
| All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
|
| 7:18
| 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.
|
| 7:19
| 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.
|
| 7:20
| 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.
|
| 7:21
| 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.
|
| 7:22
| 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.
|
| 7:23
| Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is
full of violence.
|
| 7:24
| 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.
|
| 7:25
| Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
|
| 7:26
| 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.
|
| 7:27
| 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.
