Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### The End Arrives [[#Verse 01.]] The Lord’s message came to me:  [[#Verse 02.]] “You, son of man—this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel: An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land!  [[#Verse 03.]] The end is now upon you, and I will release my anger against you. I will judge you according to your behavior; I will hold you accountable for all your abominable practices.  [[#Verse 04.]] My eye will not pity you; I will not spare you. For I will hold you responsible for your behavior, and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. Then you will know that I am the Lord! [[#Verse 05.]] “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: A disaster—a one-of-a-kind disaster—is coming! [[#Verse 06.]] An end comes—the end comes! It has awakened against you! Look, it is coming!  [[#Verse 07.]] Doom is coming upon you who live in the land! The time is coming, the day is near. There are sounds of tumult, not shouts of joy, on the mountains.  [[#Verse 08.]] Soon now I will pour out my rage on you; I will fully vent my anger against you. I will judge you according to your behavior. I will hold you accountable for all your abominable practices.  [[#Verse 09.]] My eye will not pity you; I will not spare you. For your behavior I will hold you accountable, and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is striking you. [[#Verse 10.]] “Look, the day! Look, it is coming! Doom has gone out! The staff has budded, pride has blossomed!  [[#Verse 11.]] Violence has grown into a staff that supports wickedness. Not one of them will be left—not from their crowd, not from their wealth, not from their prominence.  [[#Verse 12.]] The time has come; the day has struck! The customer should not rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for divine wrath comes against their whole crowd.  [[#Verse 13.]] The customer will no longer pay the seller while both parties are alive, for the vision against their whole crowd will not be revoked. Each person, for his iniquity, will fail to preserve his life. [[#Verse 14.]] “They have blown the trumpet and everyone is ready, but no one goes to battle, because my anger is against their whole crowd. [[#Verse 15.]] The sword is outside; pestilence and famine are inside the house. Whoever is in the open field will die by the sword, and famine and pestilence will consume everyone in the city.  [[#Verse 16.]] Their survivors will escape to the mountains and become like doves of the valleys ; all of them will moan—each one for his iniquity.  [[#Verse 17.]] All their hands will hang limp; their knees will be wet with urine.  [[#Verse 18.]] They will wear sackcloth, terror will cover them; shame will be on all their faces, and all their heads will be shaved bald.  [[#Verse 19.]] They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. [[#Verse 20.]] They rendered the beauty of his ornaments into pride, and with it they made their abominable images—their detestable idols. Therefore I will render it filthy to them.  [[#Verse 21.]] I will give it to foreigners as loot, to the world’s wicked ones as plunder, and they will desecrate it.  [[#Verse 22.]] I will turn my face away from them, and they will desecrate my treasured place. Vandals will enter it and desecrate it.  [[#Verse 23.]] (Make the chain, because the land is full of murder and the city is full of violence.)  [[#Verse 24.]] I will bring the most wicked of the nations, and they will take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the arrogance of the strong, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated.  [[#Verse 25.]] Terror is coming! They will seek peace, but find none.  [[#Verse 26.]] Disaster after disaster will come, and one rumor after another. They will seek a vision from a prophet; priestly instruction will disappear, along with counsel from the elders.  [[#Verse 27.]] The king will mourn and the prince will be clothed with shuddering; the hands of the people of the land will tremble. Based on their behavior I will deal with them, and by their standard of justice I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the Lord!” ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ###### Verse 27. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
