Ezekiel 7 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Pitiless Wrath of Yahweh

1 Moreover, the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to me saying ^H559,

2 “Now as for you, son ^H1121 of man ^H120, thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 to the land ^H127 of Israel ^H3478, ‘An end ^H7093! The end ^H7093 is coming ^H935 on the four ^H702 corners ^H3671 of the earth ^H776. 3 Now ^H6258 the end ^H7093 is upon you, and I will send ^H7971 My anger ^H639 against you; I will judge ^H8199 you according to your ways ^H1870 and put ^H5414 all ^H3605 your abominations ^H8441 upon you. 4 For My eye ^H5869 will have ^H2347 no ^H3808 pity ^H2347 on you, nor ^H3808 will I spare ^H2550 you, but I will put ^H5414 your ways ^H1870 upon you, and your abominations ^H8441 will be among ^H8432 you; then you will know ^H3045 that I am Yahweh ^H3068!’

5 “Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, ‘A calamitous evil ^H7451, a unique ^H259 calamitous evil ^H7451, behold ^H2009, it is coming ^H935! 6 An end ^H7093 has come ^H935; the end ^H7093 has come ^H935! It has awakened ^H6974 against ^H413 you; behold ^H2009, it is coming ^H935! 7 Your doom ^H6843 has come ^H935 to you, O inhabitant ^H3427 of the land ^H776. The time ^H6256 has come ^H935; the day ^H3117 is near ^H7138—confusion ^H4103 rather ^H3808 than ^H3808 joyful ^H1906 shouting ^H1906 on the mountains ^H2022. 8 Now ^H6258 it is near ^H4480 H7138 when I will pour ^H8210 out ^H8210 My wrath ^H2534 on you and spend ^H3615 My anger ^H639 against you and judge ^H8199 you according to your ways ^H1870 and put ^H5414 on you all ^H3605 your abominations ^H8441. 9 My eye ^H5869 will show ^H2347 no ^H3808 pity ^H2347, nor ^H3808 will I spare ^H2550. I will give ^H5414 to you according to your ways ^H1870, while your abominations ^H8441 are among ^H8432 you; then you will know ^H3045 that I, Yahweh ^H3068, do the striking ^H5221.

10 ‘Behold ^H2009, the day ^H3117! Behold ^H2009, it is coming ^H935! Your doom ^H6843 has gone ^H3318 forth ^H3318; the rod ^H4294 has blossomed ^H6692; arrogance ^H2087 has budded ^H6524. 11 Violence ^H2555 [fn]has grown ^H6965 into a rod ^H4294 of wickedness ^H7562. None ^H3808 of them shall remain, none ^H3808 of their multitude ^H1995, none ^H3808 of their moaning ^H1991, nor ^H3808 anything eminent ^H5089 among them. 12 The time ^H6256 has come ^H935; the day ^H3117 has arrived ^H5060. Let not the buyer ^H7069 be glad ^H8055 nor ^H408 the seller ^H4376 mourn ^H56; for wrath ^H2740 is against ^H413 all ^H3605 their multitude ^H1995. 13 Indeed ^H3588, the seller ^H4376 will not return ^H7725 to himself [fn]what ^H4465 he sold ^H4465 as long ^H5750 as [fn]they both live ^H2416 H2416; for the vision ^H2377 regarding ^H413 all ^H3605 their multitude ^H1995 will not return ^H7725 empty, nor ^H3808 will any ^H376 of them strengthen ^H2388 his life ^H2416 by his iniquity ^H5771.

14 ‘They have blown ^H8628 the trumpet ^H8619 and made ^H3559 everything ^H3605 ready ^H3559, but no ^H369 one ^H369 is going ^H1980 to the battle ^H4421, for My wrath ^H2740 is against ^H413 all ^H3605 [fn]their multitude ^H1995. 15 The sword ^H2719 is outside ^H2351, and the plague ^H1698 and the famine ^H7458 are inside ^H1004. He who ^H834 is in the field ^H7704 will die ^H4191 by the sword ^H2719; famine ^H7458 and the plague ^H1698 will also devour ^H398 those in the city ^H5892. 16 Even when their survivors ^H6412 escape ^H6403, they will be on the mountains ^H2022 like doves ^H3123 of the valleys ^H1516, all ^H3605 of them moaning ^H1993, each ^H376 over his own iniquity ^H5771. 17 All ^H3605 hands ^H3027 will hang ^H7503 limp ^H7503, and all ^H3605 knees ^H1290 will [fn]become ^H1980 like water ^H4325. 18 They will gird ^H2296 themselves with sackcloth ^H8242, and horror ^H6427 will cover ^H3680 them; and shame ^H955 will be on all ^H3605 faces ^H6440 and baldness ^H7144 on all ^H3605 their heads ^H7218. 19 They will throw ^H7993 their silver ^H3701 into the streets ^H2351, and their gold ^H2091 will become ^H1961 an impure ^H5079 thing ^H5079; their silver ^H3701 and their gold ^H2091 will not be ^H3201 able ^H3201 to deliver ^H5337 them in the day ^H3117 of the fury ^H5678 of Yahweh ^H3068. They cannot ^H3808 satisfy ^H7646 their soul ^H5315, nor ^H3808 can they fill ^H4390 their stomachs ^H4578, for their iniquity ^H5771 has become ^H1961 an occasion ^H4383 of ^H4383 stumbling ^H4383.

The Temple Profaned

20 They [fn]transformed ^H7760 the beauty ^H6643 of His ornaments ^H5716 into pride ^H1347, and they made ^H6213 the images ^H6754 of their abominations ^H8441 and their detestable ^H8251 things ^H8251 with it; therefore ^H5921 H3651 I will make ^H5414 it an impure ^H5079 thing ^H5079 to them. 21 I will give ^H5414 it into the hands ^H3027 of the foreigners ^H2114 as plunder ^H957 and to the wicked ^H7563 of the earth ^H776 as spoil ^H7998, and they will profane ^H2490 it. 22 I will also turn ^H5437 My face ^H6440 from them, and they will profane ^H2490 My secret ^H6845 place ^H6845; then robbers ^H6530 will enter ^H935 and profane ^H2490 it.

23 ‘Make ^H6213 the chain ^H7569, for the land ^H776 is full ^H4390 of judgments ^H4941 that promote bloodshed ^H1818, and the city ^H5892 is full ^H4390 of violence ^H2555. 24 Therefore, I will bring ^H935 the most evil ^H7451 of the nations ^H1471, and they will possess ^H3423 their houses ^H1004. I will also make ^H7673 the pride ^H1347 of the strong ^H5794 ones ^H5794 cease ^H7673, and their holy ^H4720 places ^H4720 will be profaned ^H2490. 25 Anguish ^H7089 has come ^H935, and they will seek ^H1245 peace ^H7965, but there ^H369 will ^H369 be ^H369 none ^H369. 26 Disaster ^H1943 will come ^H935 upon disaster ^H1943, and report ^H8052 will be added to report ^H8052; then they will seek ^H1245 a vision ^H2377 from a prophet ^H5030, but the law ^H8451 will be lost ^H6 from the priest ^H3548 and counsel ^H6098 from the elders ^H2205. 27 The king ^H4428 will mourn ^H56, the prince ^H5387 will be clothed ^H3847 with desolation ^H8077, and the hands ^H3027 of the people ^H5971 of the land ^H776 will be dismayed ^H926. According ^H4480 to their way ^H1870 I will deal ^H6213 with them, and by their judgments ^H4941 I will judge ^H8199 them. And they will know ^H3045 that I am Yahweh ^H3068.’”
