以色列的結局近了
1耶和華對我說： 2「人子啊，主耶和華對以色列這樣說，『結局到了，以色列全境的結局到了！ 3以色列，你的結局到了，我的怒氣必傾倒在你身上，我必按你的行為審判你，照你的一切惡行報應你。 4我必不顧惜你，也不憐憫你，我必按你的惡行報應你。這樣，你必知道我是耶和華。』」
5主耶和華說：「看啊，災禍來了，一場空前的災禍來了！ 6結局到了，結局到了，你的結局到了！ 7以色列境內的居民啊，惡運降臨了！時候已到，日子已近，山上一片恐慌，歡樂蕩然無存。 8我快要向你傾倒我的烈怒，發出我的怒氣。我必按你的行為審判你，照你一切的惡行報應你。 9我必不顧惜你，也不憐憫你，我必按你的惡行報應你。這樣，你就知道懲罰你的是我耶和華。
10「看啊，看啊，日子到了，大禍臨頭了！杖已經發芽，傲慢已經開花。 11暴行成了懲罰邪惡的杖，以色列人必沒有一個能夠存留，他們的財富和尊榮必不復存在。 12時候到了，日子近了，買主不要歡樂，賣主也不要憂愁，因為烈怒臨到了所有的人。 13即使賣主活著，也無法贖回他所賣的，因為關乎每一個人的異象必然應驗，他們因為犯罪一個也不能保存性命。
14「他們吹響了號角，做好了一切準備，卻無人出戰，因為我的烈怒臨到了所有的人。 15城外有戰禍，城內有饑荒瘟疫；城外的必喪身刀下，城內的必死於饑荒瘟疫。 16僥倖逃到山上的，都必像谷中哀鳴的鴿子，為自己的罪惡哭泣。 17他們必嚇得兩手發軟，雙腿戰抖。 18他們必身披麻衣，戰慄發抖。他們必剃光頭髮，滿面羞愧。 19他們必把銀子拋在街上，視金子為污穢之物。在耶和華發烈怒的日子，金銀不能拯救他們，也不能填飽他們的肚腹，滿足他們的心，因為金銀使他們跌入罪惡中。 20他們以華美的飾物為驕傲，並用它製造醜惡可憎的神像，因此，我必使這一切變成他們眼中的污穢之物。 21我必使這一切成為外族人手中的獵物，惡人手中的戰利品，被任意糟蹋。 22我必轉臉不看他們，任由外族人褻瀆我的殿，強盜必進入殿裡大肆褻瀆。
23「你要預備鎖鏈，因為這地方充滿了血腥的罪惡，城裡充斥著暴行。 24我必讓最兇惡的外族人侵佔他們的房屋。我必挫掉強悍之人的傲氣，使他們的聖所遭受褻瀆。 25恐怖的日子來臨了，他們想尋求平安，卻得不到平安。 26災禍接踵而至，噩耗不斷傳來。那時，他們必求問先知，但祭司的教導必消逝，長老們必無計可施。 27君王必悲哀，首領必驚恐，百姓的手都必顫抖。我必按他們的惡行對付他們，使他們受到應得的審判。這樣，他們就知道我是耶和華。」
1Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. 3Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.7.3 recompense: Heb. give 4And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 5Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. 6An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.7.6 watcheth for: Heb. awaketh against 7The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.7.7 sounding…: or, echo 8Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations. 9And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.7.9 thee according: Heb. upon thee, etc 10Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 11Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.7.11 theirs: or, their tumultuous persons: Heb. tumult 12The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 13For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.7.13 although they…: Heb. though their life were yet among the living7.13 in the…: or, whose life is in his iniquity7.13 the iniquity: Heb. his iniquity 14They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 15The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16¶ But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. 17All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.7.17 be weak…: Heb. go into water 18They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads. 19They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.7.19 removed: Heb. for a separation, or, uncleanness7.19 it is…: or, their iniquity is their stumblingblock
20¶ As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.7.20 set it far…: or, made it unto them an unclean thing 21And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it. 22My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.7.22 robbers: or, burglers
23¶ Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. 24Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.7.24 their holy…: or, they shall inherit their holy places 25Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.7.25 Destruction: Heb. Cutting off 26Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. 27The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.7.27 according…: Heb. with their judgments
