* And the word of the Lord came unto me , saying , * And thou , son of man , thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the land of Israel , There is an end ! the end is coming over the four corners of the land . * Now cometh the end over thee , and I will let loose my anger against thee , and will judge thee according to thy ways , and I will lay upon thee all thy abominations . * And my eye shall not show pity upon thee , and I will not spare thee ; for thy own ways will I lay upon thee , and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee : and ye shall know that I am the Lord . * Thus hath said the Lord Eternal , An evil , a peculiar evil , behold , is coming . * An end is coming , there is coming the end : it waketh up against thee ; behold , cometh . * The evil decree is come against thee , O thou inhabitant of the land : the time is come , near is the day of tumult , and not the joyful call on the mountains . * Now will I in a short time pour out my fury over thee , and I will let out all my anger against thee , and I will judge thee according to thy ways , and I will lay upon thee all thy abominations . * And my eye shall not show pity , and I will not spare : according to thy ways will I lay on thee , and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee : and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth . * Behold the day , behold , it is coming ; the evil decree is gone forth ; the staff hath blossomed , presumption hath budded ; * The violence is grown up into the staff of wickedness : nothing is left of them , and nothing of their multitude , and nothing of theirs ; and there shall be no lamenting for them . * The time is coming , the day occurreth ; let the buyer not rejoice , and let the seller not mourn ; for wrath is against all her multitude . * For the seller shall not return to that which is sold , although their soul were yet alive ; for the vision is against all her multitude ; no one shall return ; but the soul of every one is fastened to his iniquity , they do not strengthen themselves . * They have blown the cornet , every one maketh himself ready ; but no one goeth to the battle ; for my wrath is against all her multitude . * The sword is without , and the pestilence and the famine are within : he that is in the field shall die by the sword ; and he that is in the city , him shall famine and pestilence devour . * But they that escape of them shall escape , and they shall be on the mountains like the doves of the valleys , all of which are moaning , every one in his iniquity . * All hands become feeble , and all knees go into water . * And people gird themselves with sackcloth , and shuddering covereth them : and upon all faces there is shame , and upon all their heads there is baldness . * Their silver shall they cast into the streets , and their gold shall be as though it were unclean : their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the Lord ; they shall not satisfy their souls , and not fill their bowels ; because it was the stumbling –block for their iniquity . * And as for the beauty of his ornament , which he had instituted for pride : even therein did they make the images of their abominations , their detestable things ; therefore have I rendered it unclean for them . * And I will give it up into the hands of the strangers for a prey , and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil : and they shall pollute it . * And I will turn away my face from them , and they shall pollute my place where I dwelt in secret ; and therein shall barbarians enter and pollute it . * Make chains ; for the land is full of blood –guiltiness , and the city is full of violence . * Therefore will I bring the worst of nations , and they shall take possession of their houses : I will also cause the pride of the mighty to cease ; and their holy places shall be polluted . * Destruction cometh : and they will seek peace , but there shall be none . * Mishap shall come upon mishap , and report shall be spread upon report : and then will they seek a vision from the prophet ; but the law shall be lost from the priest , and counsel from the ancients . * The king shall mourn , and the prince shall be clothed with distress , and the hands of the people of the land shall be powerless : after their way will I do unto them , and according to their own manners will I judge them ; and they shall know that I am the Lord .
