006:014 I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate
and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all
their habitations: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
007:001 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
007:002 You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land
of Israel, An end: the end is come on the four corners
of the land.
007:003 Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you,
and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring
on you all your abominations.
007:004 My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity;
but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall
be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
007:005 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.
007:006 An end is come, the end is come; it awakes against you;
behold, it comes.
007:007 Your doom is come to you, inhabitant of the land:
the time is come, the day is near, [a day of] tumult,
and not [of] joyful shouting, on the mountains.
007:008 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my
anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways;
and I will bring on you all your abominations.
007:009 My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity:
I will bring on you according to your ways; and your
abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know
that I, Yahweh, do strike.
007:010 Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom is gone forth;
the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
007:011 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them
[shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth:
neither shall there be eminency among them.
007:012 The time is come, the day draws near: don't let the buyer rejoice,
nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all the multitude of it.
007:013 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold,
although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching
the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall
any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
007:014 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none
goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all the multitude of it.
007:015 The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within:
he who is in the field shall die with the sword:
and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
007:016 But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on
the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning,
every one in his iniquity.
007:017 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
007:018 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall
