Compare all

4 ^aMy eye will not spare you,
Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
^bThen you shall know that I am the Lord!’

5 “Thus says the Lord God:
‘A disaster, a singular ^adisaster;
Behold, it has come!

6 An end has come,
The end has come;
It has dawned for you;
Behold, it has come!

7 ^aDoom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
^bThe time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.

8 Now upon you I will soon ^apour out My fury,
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.

9 ‘My eye will not spare,
Nor will I have pity;
I will¹ repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.

10 ‘Behold, the day!
Behold, it has come!
^aDoom has gone out;
The rod has blossomed,
Pride has budded.

11 ^aViolence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
None of¹ them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of them;
^bNor shall there be wailing for them.
