Chapter 7

1The word of Hashem came to me:

vai-HI d'-var a-do-NAI e-LAI lay-MOR

אוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2You, O mortal, [say:] Thus said Hashem to the land of Yisrael: Doom! Doom is coming upon the four corners of the land.

v'-a-TAH ben a-DAM ko-a-MAR a-do-NAI y'-ho-VAH l'-ad-MAT yis-ra-AYL k'-TZ ba ha-KETZ al [ar-BA] (ar-BA-at) kan-FOT ha-A-retz

3Now doom is upon you! I will let loose My anger against you and judge you according to your ways; I will requite you for all your abominations.

4I will show you no pity and no compassion; but I will requite you for your ways and for the abominations in your midst. And you shall know that I am Hashem.

5Thus said Hashem: A singular disaster; a disaster is coming.

KO a-MAR a-do-NAI y'-ho-VAH, ra-AH a-KHAT ra-AH hi-NEH ba-AH.

הכֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֑ה רָעָ֛ה אַחַ֥ת רָעָ֖ה הִנֵּ֥ה בָאָֽה׃

6Doom is coming! The hour of doom is coming! It stirs against you; there it comes!

7The cycle has come around for you, O inhabitants of the land; the time has come; the day is near. There is panic on the mountains, not joy.

8Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you and spend My anger on you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will requite you for all your abominations.

9I will show you no pity and no compassion; but I will requite you for your ways, and for the abominations in your midst. And you shall know it was I Hashem who punished.

10Here is the day! See, the cycle has come round; it has appeared. The rod has blossomed; arrogance has budded,

11lawlessness has grown into a rod of wickedness. Nothing comes of them, nor of their abundance, nor of their wealth; nor is there preeminence among them.

12The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn—for divine wrath shall overtake all her multitude.

13For the seller shall not return to what he sold so long as they remain among the living. For the vision concerns all her multitude, it shall not be revoked. And because of his guilt, no man shall hold fast to his life.

14They have sounded the horn, and all is prepared; but no one goes to battle, for My wrath is directed against all her multitude.

15The sword is outside and pestilence and famine are inside; he who is in the open shall die by the sword, he who is in the town shall be devoured by famine and pestilence.

16And if any survive, they shall take to the mountains; they shall be like doves of the valley, moaning together—every one for his iniquity.

18They shall gird on sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; every face shall betray shame, and every head shall be made bald.

19They shall throw their silver into the streets, and their gold shall be treated as something unclean. Their silver and gold shall not avail to save them in the day of Hashem's wrath—to satisfy their hunger or to fill their stomachs. Because they made them stumble into guilt—

20for out of their beautiful adornments, in which they took pride, they made their images and their detestable abominations—therefore I will make them an unclean thing to them.

24I will bring in the worst of the nations to take possession of their houses; so shall I turn to naught the pride of the powerful, and their sanctuaries shall be defiled.
