1 A message came to me from the Lord. He said,
2 "Son of man, I am the Lord and King. I say to the land of Israel, 'The end has come! It has come on the four corners of the land.
3 The end has now come for you. I will pour out my anger on you. I will judge you based on how you have lived. I will pay you back for all of your evil practices. I hate them.
4 " 'I will not spare you or feel sorry for you. You can be sure that I will pay you back in keeping with how you have lived. I will judge you for your evil practices. I hate them. You will know that I am the Lord.'
