| 1. | And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, |
| 2. | 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. | Now is the end upon thee; and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations. |
| 4. | 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. | Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil! behold, it is come. |
| 6. | The end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee: behold, it cometh. |
| 7. | The doom is come unto thee, inhabitant of the land; the time is come, the day is near, -- tumult, and not the joyous cry from the mountains. |
| 8. | Now will I soon pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee; and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations. |
| 9. | And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will render unto thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that it is I, Jehovah, that smite. |
| 10. | Behold the day, behold, it is come: the doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride is full blown. |
| 11. | Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: nothing of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth, nor of the magnificence in the midst of them. |
| 12. | The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof. |
| 13. | For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, even though he were yet alive amongst the living: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof; it shall not be revoked; and none shall through his iniquity assure his life. |
| 14. | They have blown the trumpet and made all ready, but none goeth to the battle; for my fierce anger 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 by the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. |
| 16. | And they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one for his iniquity. |
| 17. | All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall melt into water. |
| 18. | And they shall gird on 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 as an impurity: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah`s wrath; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their belly; for it hath been the stumbling-block of their iniquity. |
| 20. | And he set in majesty his beautiful ornament; but they made therein the images of their abominations and of their detestable things: therefore have I made it an impurity unto them. |
| 21. | And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it. |
| 22. | And I will turn my face from them; and they shall profane my secret place; and the violent shall enter into it, and profane it. |
| 23. | Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. |
| 24. | Therefore will I bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses; and I will make the pride of the strong to cease; and their sanctuaries shall be profaned. |
| 25. | Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, but there shall be none. |
| 26. | Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; and they shall seek a vision from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. |
| 27. | The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with dismay, and the hands of the people of the land shall tremble: I will do unto them according to their way, and with their judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. |
