New Living Translation

1The word of the LORD came to me:

1Then this message came to me from the LORD:

2"Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to the land of Israel: "'The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land!

2“Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to Israel: “The end is here! Wherever you look— east, west, north, or south— your land is finished.

3The end is now upon you, and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.

3No hope remains, for I will unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.

4I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will surely repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. "'Then you will know that I am the LORD.'

4I will turn my eyes away and show no pity. I will repay you for all your detestable sins. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

5"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'Disaster! Unheard-of disaster! See, it comes!

5“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Disaster after disaster is coming your way!

6The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. See, it comes!

6The end has come. It has finally arrived. Your final doom is waiting!

7Doom has come upon you, upon you who dwell in the land. The time has come! The day is near! There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.

7O people of Israel, the day of your destruction is dawning. The time has come; the day of trouble is near. Shouts of anguish will be heard on the mountains, not shouts of joy.

8I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.

8Soon I will pour out my fury on you and unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.

9I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. "'Then you will know that it is I the LORD who strikes you.

9I will turn my eyes away and show no pity. I will repay you for all your detestable sins. Then you will know that it is I, the LORD, who is striking the blow.

10"'See, the day! See, it comes! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed!

10“The day of judgment is here; your destruction awaits! The people’s wickedness and pride have blossomed to full flower.

11Violence has arisen, a rod to punish the wicked. None of the people will be left, none of that crowd-- none of their wealth, nothing of value.

11Their violence has grown into a rod that will beat them for their wickedness. None of these proud and wicked people will survive. All their wealth and prestige will be swept away.

12The time has come! The day has arrived! Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.

12Yes, the time has come; the day is here! Buyers should not rejoice over bargains, nor sellers grieve over losses, for all of them will fall under my terrible anger.

13The seller will not recover the property that was sold-- as long as both buyer and seller live. For the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve their life.

13Even if the merchants survive, they will never return to their business. For what God has said applies to everyone— it will not be changed! Not one person whose life is twisted by sin will ever recover. The Desolation of Israel

14"'They have blown the trumpet, they have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.

14“The trumpet calls Israel’s army to mobilize, but no one listens, for my fury is against them all.

15Outside is the sword; inside are plague and famine. Those in the country will die by the sword; those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.

15There is war outside the city and disease and famine within. Those outside the city walls will be killed by enemy swords. Those inside the city will die of famine and disease.

16The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins.

16The survivors who escape to the mountains will moan like doves, weeping for their sins.

17Every hand will go limp; every leg will be wet with urine.

17Their hands will hang limp, their knees will be weak as water.

18They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Every face will be covered with shame, and every head will be shaved.

18They will dress themselves in burlap; horror and shame will cover them. They will shave their heads in sorrow and remorse.

19"'They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin.

19“They will throw their money in the streets, tossing it out like worthless trash. Their silver and gold won’t save them on that day of the LORD’s anger. It will neither satisfy nor feed them, for their greed can only trip them up.

20They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols. They made it into vile images; therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them.

20They were proud of their beautiful jewelry and used it to make detestable idols and vile images. Therefore, I will make all their wealth disgusting to them.

21I will give their wealth as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile it.

21I will give it as plunder to foreigners, to the most wicked of nations, and they will defile it.

22I will turn my face away from the people, and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure. They will enter it and will defile it.

22I will turn my eyes from them as these robbers invade and defile my treasured land.

23"'Prepare chains! For the land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence.

23“Prepare chains for my people, for the land is bloodied by terrible crimes. Jerusalem is filled with violence.

24I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated.

24I will bring the most ruthless of nations to occupy their homes. I will break down their proud fortresses and defile their sanctuaries.

25When terror comes, they will seek peace in vain.

25Terror and trembling will overcome my people. They will look for peace but not find it.

26Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor. They will go searching for a vision from the prophet, priestly instruction in the law will cease, the counsel of the elders will come to an end.

26Calamity will follow calamity; rumor will follow rumor. They will look in vain for a vision from the prophets. They will receive no teaching from the priests and no counsel from the leaders.

27The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. "'Then they will know that I am the LORD.'"

27The king and the prince will stand helpless, weeping in despair, and the people’s hands will tremble with fear. I will bring on them the evil they have done to others, and they will receive the punishment they so richly deserve. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
