Ezekiel 7:6-19

It’s all over for you! The end is near! Doom is awakened against you. Behold, the fateful day! Now it is your turn to be punished. You who dwell in this land, doom is coming, for the day of YAHWEH is near. The people will be shouting in panic, not shouting with joy at the shrines on the mountaintops. Very soon I will vent my fury on you and punish you until my anger is finished. I will judge you for the way you live and punish you for all your loathsome practices. I will show you no mercy nor spare you, but I will punish you for your conduct and for all your detestable deeds. Then you will know that I am YAHWEH who has punished you.’ ” “ ‘Now is the day of disaster. Behold, your doom has come! Brutality has blossomed, and pride is at its peak. Violence has grown up into a rod to punish their wickedness. None of these proud, evil people will survive. All their wealth and prestige will be swept away. The time of your doom is before you; the day of reckoning has come. Let not the buyer be happy nor the seller be sad, for wrath is upon the entire multitude. For the seller will not be able to return to what has been sold while they live. For the vision concerns them all. Each persists in sin, and no one will hold on to their lives. The trumpet sounds, everyone gets ready, but no one goes into battle, since my anger rests on everyone alike.’ ” “ ‘Enemies are lurking outside the city; inside are disease and starvation. Anyone out in the countryside will die in battle; anyone in the city will die by starvation and plague. And those who escape will flee to the mountains, moaning like doves of the valleys, each one moaning for his sin. Every hand will grow weak. Gripped with fear, they wet themselves. Terror covers them as they put on sackcloth. Shame covers their faces as they shave their heads bald. They will throw their silver away in the streets and their gold like filthy menstrual rags. Their wealth will not be able to save them on the day of YAHWEH’s fury. For it will be worthless on that day to buy food to fill their stomachs since it was their wealth that led them into sin.
