Og Herrens ord kom til mig, og det lød så:

Og du menneskesønn! Så sier Herren, Israels Gud, til Israels land: Ende! - Enden kommer over landets fire hjørner.

Nu kommer enden over dig, og jeg vil sende min vrede mot dig og dømme dig efter din ferd, og jeg vil la dig bøte for alle dine vederstyggeligheter.

Jeg vil ikke vise skånsel mot dig og ikke spare dig; men jeg vil la dig bøte for din ferd, og dine vederstyggeligheter skal komme over dig selv, og I skal kjenne at jeg er Herren.

Så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Ulykke, en ulykke uten like, se, den kommer.

Det kommer en ende, enden kommer, den våkner op og kommer til dig; se, det kommer.

Nu kommer turen til dig, du som bor i landet! Tiden kommer, dagen er nær, krigslarm er der og ikke fryderop på fjellene.

Nu, om en liten stund, vil jeg utøse min harme over dig og uttømme min vrede på dig og dømme dig efter din ferd, og jeg vil la dig bøte for alle dine vederstyggeligheter.

Jeg vil ikke vise skånsel og ikke spare dig; efter din ferd vil jeg gjengjelde dig, og dine vederstyggeligheter skal komme over dig selv, og I skal kjenne at jeg, Herren, slår.

10 Se, dagen er der! Se, det kommer! Nu begynner det, riset blomstrer, overmotet[a] grønnes;

11 voldsomheten[b] reiser sig til et ris over ugudeligheten. Intet av dem, intet av deres larmende hop, intet av deres buldrende mengde, intet herlig blir tilbake iblandt dem.

12 Tiden kommer, dagen er nær. Kjøperen glede sig ikke, og selgeren gremme sig ikke! For det kommer brennende vrede over hele deres hop.

13 Selgeren skal ikke få igjen det han har solgt, om han enn er i live; for spådommen mot hele deres hop skal ikke tas tilbake, og for sin misgjernings skyld skal ingen kunne trygge sig i sitt liv.

14 De støter i basun og gjør alt ferdig, men ingen drar ut til strid; for min harme er vendt mot hele deres hop.

15 Sverdet utenfor og pesten og hungeren innenfor; den som er ute på marken, skal dø ved sverdet, og den som er inne i byen, ham skal hunger og pest fortære.

16 Og om nogen av dem undkommer, skal de alle være på fjellene som kurrende duer i dalene, hver for sin misgjernings skyld.

17 Alle hender skal synke, og alle knær skal bli som vann.

18 Og de skal binde sekk om sig, og redsel skal legge sig over dem, og alle ansikter skal dekkes av skam, og alle deres hoder skal være skallet.

19 Sitt sølv skal de kaste på gatene, og sitt gull skal de akte for urent; deres sølv og deres gull skal ikke kunne berge dem på Herrens vredes dag; de skal ikke kunne mette sig eller fylle sin buk med det. For det har vært et anstøt til misgjerning for dem,

20 og sine prektige smykker som er laget av det, har de brukt til storaktighet, og sine vederstyggelige billeder, sine avskyelige avguder har de gjort av det; derfor gjør jeg det til urenhet for dem.

21 Og jeg vil gi det i de fremmedes hånd som rov og til jordens ugudelige som hærfang, og de skal vanhellige det;

22 Og jeg vil vende mitt åsyn bort fra dem[c], og de[d] skal vanhellige min skatt[e]; røvere skal komme inn over den og vanhellige den.

23 Gjør lenken ferdig[f]! For landet er fullt av bloddommer, og byen er full av vold.

24 Og jeg vil la de verste av hedningene komme, og de skal ta deres hus i eie, og jeg vil gjøre ende på de frekkes stolthet, og deres helligdommer skal vanhelliges.

25 Det skal komme redsel, og de skal søke frelse, men der er ingen.

26 Ulykke på ulykke skal komme, og rykte på rykte skal opstå, og de skal søke efter syn hos profeten, og lov skal ikke være å finne hos presten eller råd hos de gamle;

27 kongen skal sørge, og høvdingen skal klæ sig i forferdelse, og hendene på landets folk skal skjelve. Efter deres ferd vil jeg gjøre med dem, og med deres dommer vil jeg dømme dem, og de skal kjenne at jeg er Herren.

The End Has Come

The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel:

“‘The end!(A) The end has come
    upon the four corners(B) of the land!
The end is now upon you,
    and I will unleash my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your conduct(C)
    and repay you for all your detestable practices.(D)
I will not look on you with pity;(E)
    I will not spare you.
I will surely repay you for your conduct
    and for the detestable practices among you.

“‘Then you will know that I am the Lord.’(F)

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Disaster!(G) Unheard-of[a] disaster!
    See, it comes!
The end(H) has come!
    The end has come!
It has roused itself against you.
    See, it comes!
Doom has come upon you,
    upon you who dwell in the land.
The time has come! The day(I) is near!(J)
    There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.
I am about to pour out my wrath(K) on you
    and spend my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your conduct
    and repay you for all your detestable practices.(L)
I will not look on you with pity;
    I will not spare you.(M)
I will repay you for your conduct
    and for the detestable practices among you.(N)

“‘Then you will know that it is I the Lord who strikes you.(O)

10 “‘See, the day!
    See, it comes!
Doom has burst forth,
    the rod(P) has budded,
    arrogance has blossomed!
11 Violence(Q) has arisen,[b]
    a rod to punish the wicked.
None of the people will be left,
    none of that crowd—
none of their wealth,
    nothing of value.(R)
12 The time has come!
    The day has arrived!
Let not the buyer(S) rejoice
    nor the seller grieve,
    for my wrath is on the whole crowd.(T)
13 The seller will not recover
    the property that was sold—
    as long as both buyer and seller live.
For the vision concerning the whole crowd
    will not be reversed.
Because of their sins, not one of them
    will preserve their life.(U)

14 “‘They have blown the trumpet,(V)
    they have made all things ready,
but no one will go into battle,
    for my wrath(W) is on the whole crowd.
15 Outside is the sword;
    inside are plague and famine.
Those in the country
    will die by the sword;
those in the city
    will be devoured by famine and plague.(X)
16 The fugitives(Y) who escape
    will flee to the mountains.
Like doves(Z) of the valleys,
    they will all moan,
    each for their own sins.(AA)
17 Every hand will go limp;(AB)
    every leg will be wet with urine.(AC)
18 They will put on sackcloth(AD)
    and be clothed with terror.(AE)
Every face will be covered with shame,
    and every head will be shaved.(AF)

19 “‘They will throw their silver into the streets,(AG)
    and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean.
Their silver and gold
    will not be able to deliver them
    in the day of the Lord’s wrath.(AH)
It will not satisfy(AI) their hunger
    or fill their stomachs,
    for it has caused them to stumble(AJ) into sin.(AK)
20 They took pride in their beautiful jewelry
    and used it to make(AL) their detestable idols.
They made it into vile images;(AM)
    therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them.(AN)
21 I will give their wealth as plunder(AO) to foreigners
    and as loot to the wicked of the earth,
    who will defile it.(AP)
22 I will turn my face(AQ) away from the people,
    and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure.
They will enter it
    and will defile it.(AR)

23 “‘Prepare chains!
    For the land is full of bloodshed,(AS)
    and the city is full of violence.(AT)
24 I will bring the most wicked of nations
    to take possession of their houses.
I will put an end to the pride of the mighty,
    and their sanctuaries(AU) will be desecrated.(AV)
25 When terror comes,
    they will seek peace in vain.(AW)
26 Calamity upon calamity(AX) will come,
    and rumor upon rumor.
They will go searching for a vision from the prophet,(AY)
    priestly instruction in the law will cease,
    the counsel of the elders will come to an end.(AZ)
27 The king will mourn,
    the prince will be clothed with despair,(BA)
    and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.
I will deal with them according to their conduct,(BB)
    and by their own standards I will judge them.

“‘Then they will know that I am the Lord.(BC)’”

  2. Ezekiel 7:11 Or The violent one has become

Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

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.

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.

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.

Thus saith the Lord God; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

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.

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.

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.
