Ezekiel 7:1-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. Again the Lord spoke his word to me. He said:

2. “Human being, the Lord says this to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.

3. Now the end has come for you. I will send my anger against you. I will judge you for the way you have lived. I will make you pay for your terrible actions.

4. I will have no pity on you. I will not hold back punishment from you. I will make you pay for your ways and for your terrible actions. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

5. “This is what the Lord God says: Disaster on top of disaster is coming.

6. The end has come! The end has come! It has stirred itself up against you! Look! It has come!

7. The end has come for you who live in the land! The time has come. The day of confusion is near. There will be no happy shouting on the mountains.

8. Soon I will pour out my anger against you. I will carry out my anger against you. I will judge you for the way you have lived. I will make you pay for all the things you have done that I hate.

9. I will show no pity. I will not hold back punishment. I will pay you back for the way you have lived and the terrible things you have done. Then you will know that I am the Lord who punishes.
