The Hour of Doom
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “O son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: Amo 8:21Pe 4:7Amo 8:10Ezk 7:3Ezk 11:13Ezk 7:5-6Lam 4:182Ch 34:7
‘The end! The end has come
upon the four corners of the land.
The end is now upon you, Ezk 18:30Ezk 5:13Ezk 16:38Ezk 33:20Ezk 7:8-9Ezk 11:10-11Ezk 34:20-22Ezk 36:19
and I will unleash My anger against you.
I will judge you according to your ways
and repay you for all your abominations.
I will not look on you with pity, Ezk 6:7Ezk 11:21Ezk 5:11Ezk 16:43Ezk 6:14Ezk 7:27Ezk 9:10Hos 12:2
nor will I spare you,
but I will punish you for your ways
and for the abominations among you.
Then you will know that I am the LORD.’
This is what the Lord GOD says: 2Ki 21:12-13Ezk 5:9Nam 1:9Amo 3:2Dan 9:12Mat 24:21
‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster 1—
behold, it is coming!
The end has come! Zec 13:72Pe 2:5Ezk 21:25Ezk 39:8Ezk 7:10Ezk 7:3Jer 44:27
The end has come!
It has roused itself against you.
Behold, it has come!
Doom has come to you, Ezk 12:23-25Ezk 12:28Ezk 7:12Gen 19:15Isa 22:51Pe 4:17Amo 4:13Gen 19:24
O inhabitants of the land.
The time has come;
the day is near;
there is panic on the mountains
instead of shouts of joy.
Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you Ezk 14:19Ezk 9:8Ezk 20:21Ezk 20:8Isa 42:25Nam 1:6Ezk 20:332Ch 34:21
and vent My anger against you;
I will judge you according to your ways
and repay you for all your abominations.
I will not look on you with pity, Rev 20:13Gal 6:7Isa 9:13Mic 6:9
nor will I spare you,
but I will punish you for your ways
and for the abominations among you.
Then you will know that it is I, the LORD,
who strikes the blow.
Behold, the day is here! Isa 10:51Th 5:3Jas 4:6Pro 16:18Ezk 19:14Ezk 7:6Isa 28:1Num 17:8
It has come!
Doom has gone out,
the rod has budded,
arrogance has bloomed.
Their violence has grown into a rod Zep 1:18Ezk 7:23Isa 59:6-8Jer 16:5-6Amo 3:10Amo 6:3Ezk 24:16-24Ezk 5:11
to punish their wickedness. 2
None of them will remain:
none of their multitude,
none of their wealth,
and nothing of value.
The time has come; Isa 5:13-141Co 7:29-31Ezk 6:11-12Ezk 7:10Ezk 7:5-7Isa 24:1-2Jas 5:8-9Jer 32:7-8
the day has arrived.
Let the buyer not rejoice
and the seller not mourn,
for wrath is upon the whole multitude.
The seller will surely not recover what he sold Lev 25:24-28Ecc 8:8Ezk 13:22Ezk 33:26-27Job 15:25Lev 25:31Psa 52:7
while both remain alive.
For the vision concerning the whole multitude
will not be revoked,
and because of their iniquity,
not one of them will preserve his life.
The Desolation of Israel
They have blown the trumpet Jer 4:5Ezk 7:11-12Isa 24:1-7Jer 12:12Jer 51:27Jer 6:1Jer 6:11Jer 7:20
and made everything ready,
but no one goes to war,
for My wrath is upon the whole multitude.
The sword is outside; Ezk 5:12Jer 14:18Lam 1:20Deu 32:23-25Jer 15:2-3Ezk 6:12
plague and famine are within.
Those in the country will die by the sword,
and those in the city will be devoured
by famine and plague.
The survivors will escape Ezr 9:15Isa 38:14Isa 59:11Isa 37:31Zec 12:10-14Ezk 36:31Ezk 6:8-9Isa 1:9
and live in the mountains,
moaning like doves of the valley,
each for his own iniquity.
Every hand will go limp, Ezk 21:7Heb 12:12Ezk 22:14Isa 13:7-8Jer 6:24
and every knee will turn to water.
They will put on sackcloth, Amo 8:10Isa 15:2-3Ezk 27:31Isa 3:24Job 21:6Gen 15:12Jer 3:25Jer 48:37
and terror will overwhelm them.
Shame will cover all their faces,
and all their heads will be shaved.
They will throw their silver into the streets, Pro 11:4Zep 1:18Ezk 14:7Luk 12:19-20Isa 2:20Mat 16:26Ecc 5:10Ezk 14:3-4
and their gold will seem unclean.
Their silver and gold cannot save them
in the day of the wrath of the LORD.
They cannot satisfy their appetites
or fill their stomachs with wealth,
for it became the stumbling block
that brought their iniquity.
His beautiful ornaments Ezk 24:21Jer 7:30Ezk 8:15-16Ezk 8:7-10Ezk 9:7Isa 64:111Ch 29:1-22Ch 2:9
they transformed into pride
and used them to fashion
their vile images and detestable idols.
Therefore I will make these
into something unclean for them.
And I will hand these things over 2Ki 24:13Psa 74:2-82Ch 36:18-192Ki 25:13-162Ki 25:9Jer 52:13-23Psa 79:1
as plunder to foreigners
and loot to the wicked of the earth,
who will defile them.
I will turn My face away from them, Jer 18:17Ezk 39:23-24Psa 10:11Psa 35:22Psa 74:10-11Psa 74:18-23
and they will defile My treasured place.
Violent men will enter it,
and they will defile it.
Forge the chain, Ezk 9:9Jer 27:22Ki 21:16Ezk 11:6Hos 4:22Ki 24:4Ezk 19:3-6Ezk 22:13
for the land is full of crimes of bloodshed,
and the city is full of violence.
So I will bring the most wicked of nations Ezk 28:7Ezk 21:31Ezk 33:28Psa 106:412Ch 7:19-20Ezk 21:2Ezk 24:21Hab 1:6-10
to take possession of their houses.
I will end the pride of the mighty,
and their holy places will be profaned.
Anguish is coming! Isa 57:21Isa 59:8-12Jer 8:15-16Lam 4:17-18Ezk 13:10Ezk 13:16Mic 1:12
They will seek peace, but find none.
Disaster upon disaster will come, Jer 4:20Ezk 14:1Mic 3:6Psa 74:9Ezk 20:1-3Jer 18:18Jer 21:2Jer 37:17
and rumor after rumor.
Then they will seek a vision from a prophet,
but instruction from the priests will perish,
as will counsel from the elders.
The king will mourn, Ezk 18:30Ezk 7:4-81Ki 20:28Ezk 12:10-22Ezk 17:15-21Ezk 21:25Ezk 26:16Isa 3:11
the prince will be clothed with despair,
and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.
I will deal with them according to their conduct,
and I will judge them by their own standards.
Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
