| [1]Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, |
[1]And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `And thou, son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah to the ground of Israel: |
| [2]Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD to the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. |
[2]An end, come hath the end on the four corners of the land. |
| [3]Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send my anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thy abominations. |
[3]Now [is] the end unto thee, And I have sent Mine anger upon thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against thee all thine abominations. |
| [4]And my eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. |
[4]And no pity on thee hath Mine eye, nor do I spare, For thy ways against thee I do set, And thine abominations are in thy midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. |
| [5]Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. |
[5]Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Evil, a single evil, lo, it hath come. |
| [6]An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. |
[6]An end hath come, come hath the end, It hath waked for thee, lo, it hath come. |
| [7]The morning is come upon 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]Come hath the morning unto thee, O inhabitant of the land! Come hath the time, near [is] a day of trouble, And not the shouting of mountains. |
| [8]Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish my anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thy abominations. |
[8]Now, shortly I pour out My fury on thee, And have completed Mine anger against thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against thee all thine abominations. |
| [9]And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thy abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth. |
[9]And not pity doth Mine eye, nor do I spare, According to thy ways unto thee I give, And thine abominations are in thy midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah the smiter. |
| [10]Behold the day, behold, it is come; the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. |
[10]Lo, the day, lo, it hath come, Gone forth hath the morning, Blossomed hath the rod, flourished the pride. |
| [11]Violence hath risen 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. |
[11]The violence hath risen to a rod of wickedness, There is none of them, nor of their multitude, Nor of their noise, nor is there 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. |
[12]Come hath the time, arrived hath the day, The buyer doth not rejoice, And the seller doth not become a mourner, For wrath [is] unto all its multitude. |
| [13]For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is concerning the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. |
[13]For the seller to the sold thing turneth not, And yet among the living [is] their life, For the vision [is] unto all its multitude, It doth not turn back, And none by his iniquity doth strengthen 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: |
[14]They have blown with a trumpet to prepare the whole, And none is going to battle, For My wrath [is] unto all its multitude. |
| [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. |
[15]The sword [is] without, And the pestilence and the famine within, He who is in a field by sword dieth, And he who is in a city, Famine and pestilence 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. |
[16]And escaped away have their fugitives, And they have been on the mountains As doves of the valleys, All of them make a noising -- each for his iniquity. |
| [17]All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. |
[17]All the hands are feeble, and all knees go -- waters. |
| [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. |
[18]And they have girded on sackcloth, And covered them hath trembling, And unto all faces [is] shame, And on all their heads -- baldness. |
| [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 stumbling-block of their iniquity. |
[19]Their silver into out-places they cast, And their gold impurity becometh. Their silver and their gold is not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of Jehovah, Their soul they do not satisfy, And their bowels they do not fill, For the stumbling-block of their iniquity it hath been. |
| [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. |
[20]As to the beauty of his ornament, For excellency He set it, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things -- they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity, |
| [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. |
[21]And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have polluted 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. |
[22]And I have turned My face from them, And they have polluted My hidden place, Yea, come into it have destroyers, and polluted it. |
| [23]Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. |
[23]Make the chain; for the land Hath been full of bloody judgments, And the city hath been 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. |
[24]And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused to cease the excellency of the strong, And polluted have been those sanctifying them. |
| [25]Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none. |
[25]Destruction hath come, And they have sought peace, and there is none. |
| [26]Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders. |
[26]Mischief on mischief cometh, and report is on report, And they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law doth perish from the priest, And counsel from the elders, |
| [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 to them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them, and they shall know that I am the LORD. |
[27]The king doth become a mourner, And a prince putteth on desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, From their own way I deal with them, And with their own judgments I judge them, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!' |
