1This message from the LORD arrived for me:

1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2"Son of Man, this is what Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: 'It's over! All four corners of the land are out of time!

2“O son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: ‘The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

3Your time is up! I'm sending my anger against you to judge you according to how you live your lives, and I'm going to pay you back with the consequences of all your detestable practices.

3The end is now upon you, and I will unleash My anger against you. I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.

4I won't be showing pity on you and I won't be showing compassion. I'm going to turn your own lifestyles against you while your detestable practices remain among you. Then you'll learn that I am the LORD.'"

4I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’

5"This is what the Lord GOD says: 'It's one evil event after another! "'Look out! It's coming!

5This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster—behold, it is coming!

6"'The end is coming! "'The end is here! "'And it's looking in your direction! "'Look out! It's arrived!

6The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. Behold, it has come!

7"'Your doom has come to you, you who live in the land. The time has arrived, and the day of confusion is near. There will be no shouts of joy on the mountains.

7Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.

8Very soon now, I'll pour out my burning anger on you. I'll complete expressing my anger at you, judge you according to your behavior, and repay you for all your detestable practices.

8Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you and vent My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.

9I won't be showing pity or compassion. I'll repay you according to your behavior while your detestable practices remain among you. And you'll know that I, the LORD, have been attacking you.'"

9I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that it is I, the LORD, who strikes the blow.

10"Look out! The day! "Look out! It's coming! "Doom has blossomed. "Arrogance has sprouted!

10Behold, the day is here! It has come! Doom has gone out, the rod has budded, arrogance has bloomed.

11"Violence has matured into a branch that is wicked. No one will survive from that vast crowd, from their wealthy people, or from the famous among them.

11Their violence has grown into a rod to punish their wickedness. None of them will remain: none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and nothing of value.

12"The time has come! "The day has arrived. Don't let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller lament, because wrath is coming to attack the entire multitude.

12The time has come; the day has arrived. Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, for wrath is upon the whole multitude.

13The seller won't regain what he has sold while the crowd remains alive, because the vision concerning the entire multitude won't be annulled. No person will be able to survive because of the sin in his life.

13The seller will surely not recover what he sold while both remain alive. For the vision concerning the whole multitude will not be revoked, and because of their iniquity, not one of them will preserve his life.

14"They've sounded the alarm, and everyone is prepared, but no one is marching for battle, since I'm angry at the entire multitude.

14They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one goes to war, for My wrath is upon the whole multitude.

15The sword lurks outside, but pestilence and famine are on the prowl inside the house. Whoever is in the field will die by violence, while famine and pestilence will devour those in the city.

15The sword is outside; plague and famine are within. Those in the country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.

16Fugitives will escape to the mountains like doves fleeing through the valleys, all of them moaning because of their own iniquity.

16The survivors will escape and live in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valley, each for his own iniquity.

17Every hand will be limp. Every knee will glisten with sweat."

17Every hand will go limp, and every knee will turn to water.

18"They'll clothe themselves with sackcloth, terror will overcome them, shame will cover their faces, and baldness will spread over their entire heads.

18They will put on sackcloth, and terror will overwhelm them. Shame will cover all their faces, and all their heads will be shaved.

19They'll fling their silver into the streets, and their gold will be cast away as impure. Their silver and gold won't be able to deliver them during the time of the LORD's wrath. They won't be able to satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs, because their iniquity has tripped them up."

19They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs with wealth, for it became the stumbling block that brought their iniquity.

20"As for his beautiful ornament, he set it up in majesty, but they made detestable images and loathsome idols. Therefore, I'll give them something loathsome—

20His beautiful ornaments they transformed into pride and used them to fashion their vile images and detestable idols. Therefore I will make these into something unclean for them.

21I'll give it as plunder into the control of strangers and as the spoils of war to the wicked who will invade the land to profane it.

21And I will hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile them.

22I'll turn my face away from them so that they'll defile my treasured place. Robbers will enter and profane it!

22I will turn My face away from them, and they will defile My treasured place. Violent men will enter it, and they will defile it.

23"Forge a chain, because the land is full of bloody judgment and the city is filled with violence.

23Forge the chain, for the land is full of crimes of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence.

24Therefore, I'm bringing the worst of the nations, who will take possession of their houses. I'll cause the pride of the mighty to cease, and their sanctuaries will be profaned.

24So I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. I will end the pride of the mighty, and their holy places will be profaned.

25"When destruction comes, they'll seek peace, but there will be none to be found.

25Anguish is coming! They will seek peace, but find none.

26Disaster upon disaster will come, followed by rumor after rumor. They'll seek an oracle from the prophet, but the Law will be gone from the priests, and counsel from the elders.

26Disaster upon disaster will come, and rumor after rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but instruction from the priests will perish, as will counsel from the elders.

27"The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I'll deal with them according to their behavior and I will judge them by how they've judged. Then they'll learn that I am the LORD."

27The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and I will judge them by their own standards. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’ ”
