Y vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo: 2 Y tú, hijo de hombre, di¹: «Así dice el Señor DIOS² a la tierra de Israel: “¡El fin, el fin viene sobre los cuatro extremos de la tierra!^a 3 Ahora viene el fin sobre ti y enviaré mi ira contra ti; te juzgaré conforme a tus caminos y traeré sobre ti todas tus abominaciones. 4 Mi ojo no tendrá piedad de ti ni yo te perdonaré; sino que te pagaré¹ conforme a tus caminos, y tus abominaciones en medio de ti quedarán^a; y sabréis que yo soy el SEÑOR^b”».

5 Así dice el Señor DIOS¹: «¡Un desastre!, ¡he aquí que viene un desastre sin igual!^a 6 El fin viene, viene el fin; se ha despertado contra ti^a; he aquí, ha venido. 7 Te ha llegado tu turno¹, oh habitante de la tierra. Ha llegado el tiempo, se acerca el día^a; pánico, y no júbilo, en los montes^b. 8 Ahora pronto derramaré mi furor sobre ti y descargaré mi ira contra ti^a; te juzgaré conforme a tus caminos y traeré sobre ti todas tus abominaciones^b. 9 Mi ojo no tendrá piedad ni yo perdonaré. Te pagaré¹ conforme a tus caminos, y tus abominaciones quedarán en medio de ti; y sabréis que soy yo, el SEÑOR, el que hiere.

10 »He aquí el día; he aquí que viene. Ha salido tu turno¹, ha florecido la vara^a, ha reverdecido la arrogancia. 11 Se ha levantado la violencia para hacerse vara de impiedad^a. Nada quedará de ellos, ni de su multitud, ni de su riqueza, ni gloria entre ellos^b. 12 El tiempo ha venido, ha llegado el día. No se alegre el que compra^a ni se lamente el que vende, porque el furor está sobre toda su multitud^b. 13 Ciertamente el vendedor no recuperará lo vendido^1a mientras ambos vivan², porque la visión acerca de toda su multitud no será revocada³; y nadie, por su iniquidad, podrá conservar su vida.

14 »Han tocado la trompeta^a y lo han preparado todo, pero nadie va a la batalla; porque mi furor está contra toda su multitud. 15 La espada está afuera, y la plaga y el hambre están dentro. El que esté en el campo morirá a espada, y al que esté en la ciudad, la plaga y el hambre lo consumirán^a. 16 Aun cuando escapen los sobrevivientes^a, estarán sobre los montes como palomas de los valles, todos ellos gimiendo^b por su iniquidad. 17 Todas las manos se debilitarán, y todas las rodillas serán¹ como de agua^a. 18 Se ceñirán de cilicio^a y los cubrirá el terror^b; habrá en todos los rostros vergüenza y todas las cabezas estarán rapadas^c. 19 Arrojarán su plata en las calles y su oro se convertirá en cosa abominable^a; ni su plata ni su oro podrán librarlos el día de la ira del SEÑOR^b. No saciarán su apetito¹ ni llenarán sus estómagos, porque su iniquidad ha llegado a ser ocasión de tropiezo. 20 Cambiaron la belleza de sus ornamentos en orgullo, y de ellos hicieron las imágenes de sus abominaciones^a y de sus cosas detestables; por tanto haré que esto sea cosa abominable para ellos. 21 La entregaré en manos de extraños por botín y a los impíos de la tierra por despojo, y la profanarán^a. 22 Apartaré de ellos mi rostro^a y profanarán mi lugar secreto; entrarán en él ladrones y lo profanarán.

23 »Haz la cadena^a, porque la tierra está llena de crímenes sangrientos^1b y la ciudad llena de violencia^c. 24 Por tanto, traeré a las más perversas de las naciones^a, que se apoderarán de sus casas; y haré cesar el orgullo de los poderosos^b y sus santuarios serán profanados^c. 25 Cuando llegue la angustia, buscarán la paz, pero no la habrá^a. 26 Vendrá calamidad sobre calamidad^a, y habrá rumor tras rumor^b; entonces buscarán visión del profeta^c, y la ley desaparecerá del sacerdote^d y el consejo de los ancianos^e. 27 El rey hará duelo, el príncipe se vestirá de horror y temblarán^1a las manos del pueblo de la tierra. Según su conducta los trataré y por sus juicios los juzgaré; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR».

Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying, 2 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord ¹GOD to the land of Israel, ‘An ^aend! The end is coming on the four corners of the land. 3 Now the end is upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you. 4 For My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will ^abring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will ^bknow that I am the LORD!’

5 “Thus says the Lord ¹GOD, ‘A ^adisaster, unique disaster, behold it is coming! 6 An end is coming; the end has come! It has ^aawakened against you; behold, it has come! 7 Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The ^atime has come, the ^bday is near—tumult rather than joyful shouting on the mountains. 8 Now I will shortly ^apour out My wrath on you and spend My anger against you; ^bjudge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations. 9 My eye will show no pity nor will I spare. I will ¹repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, do the smiting.

10 ‘Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the ^arod has budded, arrogance has blossomed. 11 Violence ¹has grown into a rod of ^awickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their people, none of their ^bwealth, nor anything eminent among them. 12 The ^atime has come, the day has arrived. Let not the ^bbuyer rejoice nor the seller mourn; for ^cwrath is against all their multitude. 13 Indeed, the seller will not ^1aregain ²what he sold as long as ³they both live; for the vision regarding all their multitude will not ⁴be averted, nor will any of them maintain his life by his iniquity.

14 ‘They have ^ablown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all ¹their multitude. 15 The ^asword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city. 16 Even when their survivors ^aescape, they will be on the mountains like ^bdoves of the valleys, all of them ^1cmourning, each over his own iniquity. 17 All ^ahands will hang limp and all knees will ¹become like water. 18 They will ^agird themselves with sackcloth and ^bshuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and ^cbaldness on all their heads. 19 They will ^afling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their ^bsilver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their ¹appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.

20 They transformed the beauty of His ornaments into pride, and ^athey made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an abhorrent thing to them. 21 I will give it into the hands of the ^aforeigners as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will profane it. 22 I will also turn My ^aface from them, and they will profane My secret place; then robbers will enter and profane it.

23 ‘^aMake the chain, for the land is full of ^1bbloody crimes and the city is ^cfull of violence. 24 Therefore, I will bring the worst of the ^anations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the ^bpride of the strong ones cease, and their ^choly places will be profaned. 25 When anguish comes, they will seek ^apeace, but there will be none. 26 ^aDisaster will come upon disaster and ^brumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a ^cvision from a prophet, but the ^dlaw will be lost from the priest and ^ecounsel from the elders. 27 The king will mourn, the prince will be ^aclothed with horror, and the hands of the people of the land will ¹tremble. According to their conduct I will deal with them, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the LORD.’”

Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “And you, son of man, this is what the Lord ¹GOD says to the land of Israel: ‘An ^aend! The end is coming on the four corners of the land. 3 Now the end is upon you, for I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and ¹bring all your abominations upon you. 4 And My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will ^1abring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will ^bknow that I am the LORD!’

5 “This is what the Lord ¹GOD says: ‘A ^adisaster, a unique disaster, behold, it is coming! 6 An end ¹is coming; the end has come! It has ^aawakened against you; behold, it has come! 7 Your ¹doom has come to you, you inhabitant of the land. The ^atime has come, the ^bday is near—panic rather than joyful shouting on the mountains. 8 Now I will shortly ^apour out My wrath on you and expend My anger against you; I will ^bjudge you according to your ways and ¹bring on you all your abominations. 9 My eye will have no pity nor will I spare you. I will ¹repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, am striking.

10 ‘Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your ¹doom has gone forth; the ^arod has budded, arrogance has blossomed. 11 Violence ¹has grown into a rod of ^awickedness.
