7:1 The word of the Lord came to me: 7:2 “You, son of man – this is what the sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel: An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land! 1 7:3 The end is now upon you, and I will release my anger against you; I will judge 2 you according to your behavior, 3 I will hold you accountable for 4 all your abominable practices. 7:4 My eye will not pity you; I will not spare 5 you. 6 For I will hold you responsible for your behavior, 7 and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. 8 Then you will know that I am the Lord!
7:5 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: A disaster 9 – a one-of-a-kind 10 disaster – is coming! 7:6 An end comes 11 – the end comes! 12 It has awakened against you 13 – the end is upon you! Look, it is coming! 14 7:7 Doom is coming upon you who live in the land! The time is coming, the day 15 is near. There are sounds of tumult, not shouts of joy, on the mountains. 16 7:8 Soon now I will pour out my rage 17 on you; I will fully vent my anger against you. I will judge you according to your behavior. I will hold you accountable for all your abominable practices.
