1. The word of the Lord came to me:
2. Son of man, now say: Thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: An end! The end comes upon the four corners of the land!
3. Now the end is upon you; I will unleash my anger against you, judge you according to your ways, and hold against you all your abominations.
4. My eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity; but I will hold your conduct against you, since your abominations remain within you; then shall you know that I am the Lord.
5. Thus says the Lord God: Evil upon evil! See it coming!
6. An end is coming, the end is coming; it is ripe for you! See it coming!
7. The crisis has come for you who dwell in the land! The time has come, near is the day: panic, no rejoicing on the mountains.
8. Soon now I will pour out my fury upon you and spend my anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and hold against you all your abominations.
9. My eye will not spare, nor will I take pity; I will hold your conduct against you since your abominations remain within you, then you shall know that it is I, the Lord, who strikes.
10. The day is here! Look! it is coming! The crisis has come! Lawlessness is blooming, insolence budding;
