Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

"And you, son of man, this is what the Lord ^(F1)GOD says to the land of Israel: 'An ^(C1)end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land.

'Now the end is upon you, for I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and ^(F1)bring all your abominations upon you.

'And My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will ^(F1)(C1)bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will ^(C2)know that I am the LORD!'

"This is what the Lord ^(F1)GOD says: 'A ^(C1)disaster, a unique disaster, behold, it is coming!

'An end ^(F1)is coming; the end has come! It has ^(C1)awakened against you; behold, it has come!

'Your ^(F1)doom has come to you, you inhabitant of the land. The ^(C1)time has come, the ^(C2)day is near—panic rather than joyful shouting on the mountains.

'Now I will shortly ^(C1)pour out My wrath on you and expend My anger against you; I will ^(C2)judge you according to your ways and ^(F1)bring on you all your abominations.

'My eye will have no pity nor will I spare you. I will ^(F1)repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, am striking.

'Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your ^(F1)doom has gone forth; the ^(C1)rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.

'Violence ^(F1)has grown into a rod of ^(C1)wickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their ^(F2)people, none of their ^(C2)wealth, nor anything eminent among them.

'The ^(C1)time has come, the day has arrived. Let neither the ^(C2)buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn; for ^(C3)wrath is against all their multitude.

'Indeed, the seller will not ^(F1)(C1)regain ^(F2)what he sold as long as ^(F3)they both live; for the vision regarding all their multitude will not ^(F4)be averted, nor will any of them maintain his life by his wrongdoing.
