Ezekiel
Ezekiel announces “an end” upon the land and says God will judge according to their ways and abominations Ezekiel 7:2–4. The chapter repeats that disaster is near and that God’s eye will not spare Ezekiel 7:5–9. It also describes social collapse where silver and gold cannot deliver in the day of wrath Ezekiel 7:19.
2You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end is come on the four corners of the land.
3Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
4My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
5Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.
6An end is come, the end is come; it awakes against you; behold, it comes.
7Your doom is come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, [a day of] tumult, and not [of] joyful shouting, on the mountains.
8Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
9My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do strike.
