ASV_Strong : Ezekiel 7
1. Moreover the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,
2. And thou[H1121], son of man[H120], thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069] unto the land[H127] of Israel[H3478], An end[H7093]: the end[H7093] is come[H935] upon the four[H702] corners[H3671] of the land[H776].
3. Now is the end[H7093] upon thee[H7971], and I will send mine anger[H639] upon thee[H8199], and will judge thee according to thy ways[H1870]; and I will bring[H5414] upon thee all thine abominations[H8441].
4. And mine eye[H5869] shall not spare[H2347] thee[H2550], neither will I have pity; but I will bring[H5414] thy ways[H1870] upon thee[H8441], and thine abominations shall be in the midst[H8432] of thee[H3045]: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah[H3068].
5. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: An evil[H7451], an only[H259] evil[H7451]; behold[H935], it cometh.
6. An end[H7093] is come[H935], the end[H7093] is come[H935]; it awaketh[H6974] against thee[H935]; behold, it cometh.
7. Thy doom[H6843] is come[H935] unto thee[H3427], O inhabitant of the land[H776]: the time[H6256] is come[H935], the day[H3117] is near[H7138], a day of tumult[H4103], and not of joyful shouting[H1906], upon the mountains[H2022].
8. Now will I shortly[H7138] pour out[H8210] my wrath[H2534] upon thee[H3615], and accomplish mine anger[H639] against thee[H8199], and will judge thee according to thy ways[H1870]; and I will bring[H5414] upon thee all thine abominations[H8441].
9. And mine eye[H5869] shall not spare[H2347], neither will I have pity[H2550]: I will bring[H5414] upon thee according to thy ways[H1870]; and thine abominations[H8441] shall be in the midst[H8432] of thee[H3045]; and ye shall know that I[H3068], Jehovah, do smite[H5221].
10. Behold[H3117], the day, behold[H935], it cometh: thy doom[H6843] is gone forth[H3318]; the rod[H4294] hath blossomed[H6692], pride[H2087] hath budded[H6524].
11. Violence[H2555] is risen up[H6965] into a rod[H4294] of wickedness[H7562]; none of them shall remain[H1995], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth[H1991]: neither shall there be eminency among them[H5089].
12. The time[H6256] is come[H935], the day[H3117] draweth near[H5060]: let not the buyer[H7069] rejoice[H8055], nor the seller[H4376] mourn[H56]; for wrath[H2740] is upon all the multitude thereof[H1995].
13. For the seller[H4376] shall not return[H7725] to that which is sold[H4465], although they be yet alive[H2416]: for the vision[H2377] is touching the whole multitude[H1995] thereof[H7725], none shall return; neither shall any[H376] strengthen[H2388] himself in the iniquity[H5771] of his life[H2416].
14. They have blown[H8628] the trumpet[H8619], and have made all ready[H3559]; but none goeth[H1980] to the battle[H4421]; for my wrath[H2740] is upon all the multitude thereof[H1995].
15. The sword[H2719] is without[H2351], and the pestilence[H1698] and the famine[H7458] within[H1004]: he that is in the field[H7704] shall die[H4191] with the sword[H2719]: and he that is in the city[H5892], famine[H7458] and pestilence[H1698] shall devour him[H398].
16. But those of them that escape[H6403] shall escape[H6412], and shall be on the mountains[H2022] like doves[H3123] of the valleys[H1516], all of them moaning[H1993], every one[H376] in his iniquity[H5771].
17. All hands[H3027] shall be feeble[H7503], and all knees[H1290] shall be weak[H3212] as water[H4325].
18. They shall also gird[H2296] themselves with sackcloth[H8242], and horror[H6427] shall cover[H3680] them[H955]; and shame shall be upon all faces[H6440], and baldness[H7144] upon all their heads[H7218].
19. They shall cast[H7993] their silver[H3701] in the streets[H2351], and their gold[H2091] shall be as an unclean[H5079] thing[H3701]; their silver and their gold[H2091] shall not be able[H3201] to deliver[H5337] them in the day[H3117] of the wrath[H5678] of Jehovah[H3068]: they shall not satisfy[H7646] their souls[H5315], neither fill[H4390] their bowels[H4578]; because it hath been the stumblingblock[H4383] of their iniquity[H5771].
20. As for the beauty[H6643] of his ornament[H5716], he set[H7760] it in majesty[H1347]; but they made[H6213] the images[H6754] of their abominations[H8441] and their detestable things[H8251] therein[H5414]: therefore have I made it unto them as an unclean thing[H5079].
21. And I will give[H5414] it into the hands[H3027] of the strangers[H2114] for a prey[H957], and to the wicked[H7563] of the earth[H776] for a spoil[H7998]; and they shall profane it[H2490].
22. My face[H6440] will I turn[H5437] also from them[H2490], and they shall profane my secret[H6845] place[H6530]; and robbers shall enter[H935] into it[H2490], and profane it.
23. Make[H6213] the chain[H7569]; for the land[H776] is full[H4390] of bloody[H1818] crimes[H4941], and the city[H5892] is full[H4390] of violence[H2555].
24. Wherefore I will bring[H935] the worst[H7451] of the nations[H1471], and they shall possess[H3423] their houses[H1004]: I will also make the pride[H1347] of the strong[H5794] to cease[H7673]; and their holy places[H6942] shall be profaned[H2490].
25. Destruction[H7089] cometh[H935]; and they shall seek[H1245] peace[H7965], and there shall be none.
26. Mischief[H1943] shall come[H935] upon mischief[H1943], and rumor[H8052] shall be upon rumor[H8052]; and they shall seek[H1245] a vision[H2377] of the prophet[H5030]; but the law[H8451] shall perish[H6] from the priest[H3548], and counsel[H6098] from the elders[H2205].
27. The king[H4428] shall mourn[H56], and the prince[H5387] shall be clothed[H3847] with desolation[H8077], and the hands[H3027] of the people[H5971] of the land[H776] shall be troubled[H926]: I will do[H6213] unto them after their way[H1870], and according to their deserts[H4941] will I judge[H8199] them[H3045]; and they shall know that I am Jehovah[H3068].
