Impending Disaster

7The word of the Lord came to me: ²You, O mortal, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel:
An end! The end has come
   upon the four corners of the land.
³ Now the end is upon you,
   I will let loose my anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
   I will punish you for all your abominations.
⁴ My eye will not spare you, I will have no pity.
   I will punish you for your ways,
   while your abominations are among you.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

5 Thus says the Lord God:
Disaster after disaster! See, it comes.
⁶   An end has come, the end has come.
It has awakened against you; see, it comes!
⁷ Your doom^* has come to you,
   O inhabitant of the land.
The time has come, the day is near—
   of tumult, not of revelling on the mountains.
⁸ Soon now I will pour out my wrath upon you;
   I will spend my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your ways,
   and punish you for all your abominations.
⁹ My eye will not spare; I will have no pity.
   I will punish you according to your ways,
   while your abominations are among you.
Then you shall know that it is I the Lord who strike.
