ISV(i)
2 “Son of Man, this is what Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: ‘It’s over! All four corners of the land are out of time!
3 Your time is up! I’m sending my anger against you to judge you according to how you live your lives, and I’m going to pay you back with the consequences of all your detestable practices.
4 I won’t be showing pity on you and I won’t be showing compassion. I’m going to turn your own lifestyles against you while your detestable practices remain among you. Then you’ll learn that I am the LORD.’”
5One Bad Thing after Another“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It’s one evil event after another!
“‘Look out! It’s coming!
6 “‘The end is coming!
“‘The end is here!
“‘And it’s looking in your direction!
“‘Look out! It’s arrived!
7 “‘Your doom has come to you, you who live in the land. The time has arrived, and the day of confusion is near. There will be no shouts of joy on the mountains. 8 Very soon now, I’ll pour out my burning anger on you. I’ll complete expressing my anger at you, judge you according to your behavior, and repay you for all your detestable practices. 9 I won’t be showing pity or compassion. I’ll repay you according to your behavior while your detestable practices remain among you. And you’ll know that I, the LORD, have been attacking you.’”
10The Harvest Approaches“Look out! The day!
“Look out! It’s coming!
“Doom has blossomed.
“Arrogance has sprouted!
11 “Violence has matured into a branch that is wicked. No one will survive from that vast crowd, from their wealthy people, or from the famous among them.
12 “The time has come!
“The day has arrived. Don’t let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller lament, because wrath is coming to attack the entire multitude. 13 The seller won’t regain what he has sold while the crowd remains alive, because the vision concerning the entire multitude won’t be annulled. No person will be able to survive because of the sin in his life.
14 “They’ve sounded the alarm, and everyone is prepared, but no one is marching for battle, since I’m angry at the entire multitude.
