The Day of the Lord: Impending Disaster

Ezekiel 7:1-27

Chapter 7
1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying. 2 And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the soil of Israel: The end has come, the end upon the four wings of the earth. 3 Now the end is upon you, and I will send my anger against you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will give you all your abominations. 4 My eye will not spare you, and I will not show mercy, for I will put your ways upon you, and your abominations in your midst will be revealed, and you will know that I am the LORD. 5 Thus says the Lord GOD: Disaster, disaster—behold, it is coming. 6 An end has come, the end has come, it has come upon you—behold, it comes! 7 The trumpet has come to you, O dweller of the earth. The time has come; it is near. The day of tumult, and not the noise of the mountains. 8 Now, close at hand, I will pour out my wrath on you and complete my anger against you and judge you according to your ways and give you all your abominations. 9 My eye will not spare, and I will not show mercy. I will give according to your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst, and you will know that I am the LORD who strikes. 10 Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! The sprout has gone out. The shoot has sprouted. The staff has flowered. The presumptuous rebellion. 11 Violence has arisen as a staff of the wicked. None of it is from them, nor from their multitude, nor from their tumult, nor from the noise in them. 12 The time has come; the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all its multitude. 13 For the seller will not return to the sold thing, and yet their life is in life, for the divine revelation to all the multitude will not return, and a man will not strengthen his life in his iniquity. 14 They blew the shofar and prepared everyone, but none goes to the battle, for my divine wrath is against all their multitude. 15 The sword outside and the pestilence and the famine from the house—whoever is in the field will die by the sword, and whoever is in the city famine and pestilence will devour. 16 And their survivors will escape, and they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each in his iniquity. 17 All the hands will go limp, and all the knees will turn to water. 18 They will gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on every face, and baldness on all their heads. 19 They will throw their silver in the streets, and their gold will be like a menstrual cloth. Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the LORD's wrath. They will not satisfy their soul, and they will not fill their innards, for it was the stumbling block of their iniquity. 20 They turned the beauty of his ornaments into pride in his name, and they made their abominable images, their abominations, in it. Therefore I have made it a niddah for them. 21 And I will give it into the hands of foreigners for plunder, and to the wicked of the land for spoil, and they will profane it. 22 And I will turn my face from them, and they will profane my hidden place. Ruthless ones will enter it and profane it. 23 Make the chain, for the land is full of bloody justice, and the city is full of violence. 24 I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will bring to an end the pride of their strongholds, and they will inherit their sanctuaries. 25 Destruction comes, and they seek peace, but there is none. 26 Disaster upon disaster will come, and report upon report will come. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet, and Torah will perish from a priest, and counsel from elders. 27 The king will mourn, and the prince will clothe himself with desolation. The hands of the people of the earth will tremble at their ways. I will do to them according to their judgments, and I will judge them. They will know that I am the LORD.
