Ezekiel

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 theirs: 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.
