The end(B) has come!
    The end has come!

    See, it comes!
Doom has come upon you,

The time has come! The day(C) is near!(D)
    There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.
I am about to pour out my wrath(E) on you
    and spend my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your conduct
    and repay you for all your detestable practices.(F)

  1. Ezekiel 7:5 Most Hebrew manuscripts; some Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac Disaster after

The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth.
