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 - An end, come hath the end on the four corners of the land.

3 - Now <FI>is<Fi> 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 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 <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah.

5 - Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Evil, a single evil, lo, it hath come.

6 - An end hath come, come hath the end, It hath waked for thee, lo, it hath come.

7 - Come hath the morning unto thee, O inhabitant of the land! Come hath the time, near <FI>is<Fi> a day of trouble, And not the shouting of mountains.

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 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 <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah the smiter.

10 - Lo, the day, lo, it hath come, Gone forth hath the morning, Blossomed hath the rod, flourished the pride.

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 - Come hath the time, arrived hath the day, The buyer doth not rejoice, And the seller doth not become a mourner, For wrath <FI>is<Fi> unto all its multitude.

13 - For the seller to the sold thing turneth not, And yet among the living <FI>is<Fi> their life, For the vision <FI>is<Fi> unto all its multitude, It doth not turn back, And none by his iniquity doth strengthen his life.

14 - They have blown with a trumpet to prepare the whole, And none is going to battle, For My wrath <FI>is<Fi> unto all its multitude.

15 - The sword <FI>is<Fi> 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 - 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 the hands are feeble, and all knees go--waters.

18 - And they have girded on sackcloth, And covered them hath trembling, And unto all faces <FI>is<Fi> shame, And on all their heads--baldness.

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 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 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 - 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 the chain; for the land Hath been full of bloody judgments, And the city hath been full of violence.

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 hath come, And they have sought peace, and there is none.

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 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 <FI> am<Fi> Jehovah!'
