7:5 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: A disaster 9 – a one-of-a-kind 10 disaster – is coming! 7:6 An end comes 11 – the end comes! 12 It has awakened against you 13 – the end is upon you! Look, it is coming! 14 7:7 Doom is coming upon you who live in the land! The time is coming, the day 15 is near. There are sounds of tumult, not shouts of joy, on the mountains. 16 7:8 Soon now I will pour out my rage 17 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. 7:9 My eye will not pity you; I will not spare 18 you. For your behavior I will hold you accountable, 19 and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is striking you. 20
7:10 “Look, the day! Look, it is coming! Doom has gone out! The staff has budded, pride has blossomed! 7:11 Violence 21 has grown into a staff that supports wickedness. Not one of them will be left 22 – not from their crowd, not from their wealth, not from their prominence. 23 7:12 The time has come; the day has struck! The customer should not rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for divine wrath 24 comes against their whole crowd. 7:13 The customer will no longer pay the seller 25 while both parties are alive, for the vision against their whole crowd 26 will not be revoked. Each person, for his iniquity, 27 will fail to preserve his life.
