Ezekiel 7:3
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “O son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: ‘The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
The end is now upon you, and I will unleash My anger against you. I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
4 I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’
5 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster — behold, it is coming!
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
