The
End Has Come
7:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
7:2 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.
7:3 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.
7:4 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.
7:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold,
is come.
7:6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee;
behold, it is come.
7:7 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.
7:8 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.
7:9 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.
7:10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is
gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
7:11 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.
7:12 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.
7:13 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.
7:14 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.
7:15 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.
7:16 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.
7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak
as water.
7:18 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.
7:19 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.
7:20 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.
7:21 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.
7:22 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.
7:23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes,
and the city is full of violence.
7:24 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.
7:25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and
there shall be none.
7:26 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.
7:27 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. |
