KJ3 Literal Translation
Ezekiel 7
The final desolation of Israel. The mournful repentance of them that escape. The enemies defile the sanctuary.
1And it happened, the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
2And you, son of man, so says the Lord Jehovah to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.
3The end is now on you, and I will send My anger on you and will judge you according to your ways and will put on you all your disgusting things.
4And My eye shall not spare you, and I will not have pity. But I will put your ways on you, and your disgusting things shall be in your midst, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.
5So says the Lord Jehovah: An evil! An only evil! Behold, it has come!
6An end has come, the end has come! It has awakened against you, behold, it has come!
7The crown has come to you, you living in the land. The time has come, the day of tumult is near, and not a shout of the hills.
8Now I will soon pour out My fury on you and fulfill My anger on you. And I will judge you according to your ways and will put on you all your disgusting things.
9And My eye shall not spare, and I will not have pity; I will put on you according to your ways and your disgusting things that are in your midst. And you shall know that I am Jehovah who strikes.
10Behold the day! Behold, it has come, the crown has gone out, the rod has blossomed, and pride has budded.
11Violence has risen for a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, even none of their crowds, and none of their possessions, and none of distinction among them.
12The time has come, the day has arrived. Do not let the buyer rejoice, and do not let the seller mourn, for wrath is on all her multitude.
13For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they still are among the living (for the vision is to all her multitude, and it shall not return); and a man shall not hold his life strong in his iniquity.
14They have blown the trumpet, and to make all ready, but no one goes to the battle, for My wrath is on all her crowds.
15The sword is outside, and the plague, and the famine are inside. He who is in the field shall die with the sword. And he who is in the city, famine and plague shall devour him.
16But if their fugitives shall escape, then they shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each man for his iniquity.
17All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall go as water.
18They shall also gird on sackcloth, and trembling shall cover them. And shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all heads.
19They shall throw their silver in the broad places, and their gold shall be an impure thing. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah. They shall not satisfy their soul, and they shall not fill their bowels, for their iniquity has become a stumbling block for them.
20And the beauty of His ornament, He set it in majesty. But they made it the images of their disgusting things, and of their detestable idols. Therefore, I have given it to them as an impurity.
21And I will give it into the hand of the aliens for a prize, and to the wicked one of the earth for a prey. And they shall defile it.
22I also will turn My face from them, and they shall defile My hiding place. And breakers shall enter into it and defile it.
23Make the chain, for the land is full of bloody judgments, and the city is full of violence.
24And I will make come the most evil of the nations, and they shall possess their houses. And I will make cease the pomp of the strong ones, and their holy places shall be defiled.
25Anguish comes! And they shall seek peace, but none shall be.
26Disaster on disaster shall come, and rumor to rumor shall be. And they shall seek a vision from the prophet, but the Law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
27The king shall mourn, and the ruler shall be clothed with despair. And the hands of the people of the land shall be anxious. According to their way, I will do to them, and according to their judgments, I will judge them. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
