“ 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.No hope remains, for I will unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.I 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.“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Disaster after disaster is coming your way!The end has come. It has finally arrived. Your final doom is waiting!O 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.Soon 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.I 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.“ The day of judgment is here; your destruction awaits! The people’s wickedness and pride have blossomed to full flower.Their 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.Yes, 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.
