MLV(i)
1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 And you, son of man, thus says the lord Jehovah to the land of Israel: An end. The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Now the end is upon you and I will send my anger upon you and will judge you according to your ways. And I will bring upon you all your abominations.
4 And my eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity. But I will bring your ways upon you and your abominations will be in the midst of you.
And you* will know that I am Jehovah.
5 The lord Jehovah says thus: An evil, an only evil, behold, it comes. 6 An end has come. The end has come. It awakens against you. Behold, it comes. 7 Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come. The day is near, tumult and not joyful shouting, upon the mountains.
8 Now I will shortly pour out my wrath upon you and accomplish my anger against you and will judge you according to your ways. And I will bring upon you all your abominations. 9 And my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. I will bring upon you according to your ways. And your abominations will be in the midst of you.
And you* will know that I, Jehovah, do kill*.
10 Behold, the day, behold, it comes. Your doom has gone forth. The rod has blossomed; pride has budded. 11 Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them will remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. Neither will there be distinction among them.
12 The time has come; the day draws near. Do not let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all the multitude of it. 13 For the seller will not return to what is sold, although they are yet alive, for the vision is concerning the whole multitude of it. None will return, nor will any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They have blown the trumpet and have made all ready, but none goes to the battle, for my wrath is upon all the multitude of it.
15 The sword is outside and the pestilence and the famine inside. He who is in the field will die with the sword and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence will devour him. 16 But those of them who escape will escape and will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys. All of them moaning, each one in his iniquity.
17 All hands will be feeble and all knees will be weak as water. 18 They will also gird themselves with sackcloth and horror will cover them. And shame will be upon all faces and baldness upon all their heads.
19 They will cast their silver in the streets and their gold will be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah. They will not satisfy their souls, nor fill their guts, because it has been the stumbling block 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 their detestable things in it. Therefore I have made it as an unclean thing to 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 will profane it. 22 I will also turn my face from them and they will profane my secluded place. And robbers will 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 I will bring the worst of the nations and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease and their holy places will be profaned.
25 Destruction comes. And they will seek peace and there will be none.
26 Mischief will come upon mischief and rumor will be upon rumor.
And they will seek a vision of the prophet, but the law will perish from the priest and counsel from the elders. 27 The king will mourn and the ruler will be clothed with desolation and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled. I will do to them according to their way and according to their deserts I will judge them.
And they will know that I am Jehovah.
And you* will know that I am Jehovah.
