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 their’s: 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.
