The Day of the Wrath of the Lord
1The word of the Lord came to me:
2“And you, 7:2 See ch. 2:1O son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: 7:2 Lam. 4:18; [Isa. 10:23]An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.7:2 Or earth
3Now 7:3 [See ver. 2above] the end is upon you, and 7:3 See ver. 8I will send my anger upon you; 7:3 See ch. 18:30I will judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations.
47:4 See ch. 5:11And my eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity, but 7:4 ch. 9:10; 11:21; 16:43; 22:31I will punish you for your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. 7:4 See ch. 6:7Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5“Thus says the Lord God: Disaster 7:5 [ch. 5:9]after disaster!7:5 Some Hebrew manuscripts (compare Syriac, Targum); most Hebrew manuscripts Disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it comes.
67:6 [See ver. 2above]An end has come; the end has come; it has awakened against you. Behold, it comes.
77:7 ver. 10Your doom7:7 The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain; also verse 10 has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. 7:7 Zeph. 1:14, 15; [ch. 12:23] The time has come; the day is near, a day of tumult, and not 7:7 [Jer. 25:30]of joyful shouting on the mountains.
8Now I will soon 7:8 ch. 9:8; 14:19; 20:8, 13, 21, 33, 34; 22:22; 36:18pour out my wrath upon you, and 7:8 See ch. 5:13spend my anger against you, 7:8 [See ver. 3above]and judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations.
97:9 [See ver. 4above] And my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. 7:9 [ch. 6:7]Then you will know that I am the Lord, who strikes.
107:10 [ver. 2] “Behold, the day! Behold, it comes! 7:10 ver. 7Your doom has come; 7:10 [Isa. 10:5; 14:5]the rod has blossomed; pride has budded.
117:11 [ver. 23] Violence has grown up into 7:11 [See ver. 10above] a rod of wickedness. 7:11 [ch. 17:13]None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.7:11 The meaning of this last Hebrew sentence is uncertain
127:12 [See ver. 7above] The time has come; the day has arrived. Let not 7:12 [Isa. 24:2; 1 Cor. 7:29, 30] the buyer rejoice, nor 7:12 [Isa. 24:2; 1 Cor. 7:29, 30] the seller mourn, 7:12 ver. 14for wrath is upon all their multitude.7:12 Or abundance; also verses 13, 14
13For 7:13 Lev. 25:13, 14the seller shall not return to what he has sold, while they live. 7:13 See ch. 9:8-10For the vision concerns all their multitude; it shall not turn back; and because of his iniquity, none can maintain his life.7:13 The meaning of this last Hebrew sentence is uncertain
14“They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but none goes to battle, 7:14 ver. 12for my wrath is upon all their multitude.
157:15 [ch. 6:12; Lam. 1:20] The sword is without; pestilence and famine are within. 7:15 Jer. 14:18He who is in the field dies by the sword, 7:15 Jer. 14:18and him who is in the city famine and pestilence devour.
167:16 ch. 6:8And if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like 7:16 [Isa. 38:14]doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one over his iniquity.
177:17 ch. 21:7; Isa. 13:7; Jer. 6:24All hands are feeble, and all knees turn to water.
187:18 Isa. 15:2, 3; Lam. 2:10They put on sackcloth, and 7:18 Ps. 55:5horror covers them. Shame is on all faces, and 7:18 See Isa. 3:24baldness on all their heads.
19They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. 7:19 Prov. 11:4; Zeph. 1:18Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. 7:19 [1 Tim. 6:10] For it was 7:19 ch. 14:3, 4, 7; 44:12the stumbling block of their iniquity.
207:20 [Isa. 64:11] His beautiful ornament they used for pride, and 7:20 [ch. 16:17]; See ch. 8:5-16they made their abominable images and their detestable things of it. Therefore 7:20 [ch. 9:7; 24:21; 25:3]I make it an unclean thing to them.
21And I will give it into the hands of 7:21 See ch. 28:7foreigners for prey, 7:21 [ver. 24; ch. 23:46] and to the wicked of the earth for spoil, and 7:21 [See ver. 20above]they shall profane it.
22I will turn my face from them, and 7:22 [See ver. 20above]they shall profane my treasured7:22 Or secret place. Robbers shall enter 7:22 [See ver. 20above]and profane it.
237:23 [Jer. 27:2] “Forge a chain!7:23 Probably refers to an instrument of captivity7:23 ch. 8:17; 9:9; 11:6; 22:3, 4; Jer. 6:7For the land is full of bloody crimes 7:23 [ver. 11]and the city is full of violence.
24I will bring 7:24 [ver. 21; Hab. 1:6, 13] the worst of the nations to take possession of their houses. 7:24 [ver. 11] I will put an end to the pride of the strong, 7:24 See ver. 20and their holy places7:24 By revocalization (compare Septuagint); Hebrew and those who sanctify them shall be profaned.
257:25 [ver. 2] When anguish comes, 7:25 [Jer. 6:14; 8:15; 1 Thess. 5:3]they will seek peace, but there shall be none.
267:26 [Jer. 4:20] Disaster comes upon disaster; 7:26 See Job 1:16-19rumor follows rumor. 7:26 [ch. 20:1, 3; Ps. 74:9] They seek a vision from the prophet, while 7:26 [Mal. 2:7] the law7:26 Or instruction perishes from the priest and 7:26 [1 Kgs. 12:6]counsel from the elders.
27The king mourns, the prince is wrapped in despair, and the hands of the people of the land are paralyzed by terror. According to their way 7:27 [ver. 4] I will do to them, and according to their judgments I will judge them, 7:27 See ch. 6:7and they shall know that I am the Lord.”
