Judgment on Israel Is Near

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
The Day of the Wrath of the Lord
The word of the Lord came to me:
The word of the Lord came to me:
“And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel:
‘An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
‘An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

And I will send My anger against you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.

I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
Now the end is upon you, and I will send my anger upon you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations.
My eye will not spare you,
Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
Then you shall know that I am the Lord!’
Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
Then you shall know that I am the Lord!’

‘A disaster, a singular disaster;
Behold, it has come!

Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
The time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.

And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
Now I will soon pour out my wrath upon you, and spend my anger against you, and judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations.
And my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. Then you will know that I am the Lord, who strikes.

Who lives in iniquity.
