7:1 耶和华的话又临到我说，
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
7:2 人子阿，主耶和华对以色列地如此说，结局到了，结局到了地的四境。
Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
7:3 现在你的结局已经临到，我必使我的怒气归与你，也必按你的行为审判你，照你一切可憎的事刑罚你。
Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
7:4 我眼必不顾惜你，也不可怜你，却要按你所行的报应你，照你中间可憎的事刑罚你。你就知道我是耶和华。
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
7:5 主耶和华如此说，有一灾，独有一灾。看哪，临近了。
Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
7:6 结局来了，结局来了，向你兴起。看哪，来到了。
An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
7:7 境内的居民哪，所定的灾临到你，时候到了，日子近了，乃是哄囔并非在山上欢呼的日子。
The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
7:8 我快要将我的忿怒倾在你身上，向你成就我怒中所定的，按你的行为审判你，照你一切可憎的事刑罚你。
Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
7:9 我眼必不顾惜你，也不可怜你，必按你所行的报应你，照你中间可憎的事刑罚你。你就知道击打你的是我耶和华。
And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
7:10 看哪，看哪，日子快到了，所定的灾已经发出。杖已经开花，骄傲已经发芽。
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
7:11 强暴兴起，成了罚恶的杖。以色列人，或是他们的群众，或是他们的财宝，无一存留，他们中间也没有得尊荣的。
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
7:12 时候到了，日子近了，买主不可欢喜，卖主不可愁烦，因为烈怒已经临到他们众人身上。
The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
7:13 卖主虽然存活，却不能归回再得所卖的，因为这异象关乎他们众人。谁都不得归回，也没有人在他的罪孽中坚立自己。
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
7:14 他们已经吹角，预备齐全，却无一人出战，因为我的烈怒临到他们众人身上。
They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
7:15 在外有刀剑，在内有瘟疫，饥荒。在田野的，必遭刀剑而死。在城中的，必有饥荒，瘟疫吞灭他。
The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
7:16 其中所逃脱的就必逃脱，各人因自己的罪孽在山上发出悲声，好像谷中的鸽子哀呜。
But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
7:17 手都发软，膝弱如水。
All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
7:18 要用麻布束腰，被战兢所盖。各人脸上羞愧，头上光秃。
They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
7:19 他们要将银子抛在街上，金子看如污秽之物。当耶和华发怒的日子，他们的金银不能救他们，不能使心里知足，也不能使肚腹饱满，因为这金银作了他们罪孽的绊脚石。
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
7:20 论到耶和华妆饰华美的殿，他建立得威严，他们却在其中制造可憎可厌的偶像，所以这殿我使他们看如污秽之物。
As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
7:21 我必将这殿交付外邦人为掠物，交付地上的恶人为掳物。他们也必亵渎这殿。
And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
7:22 我必转脸不顾以色列人，他们亵渎我隐密之所，强盗也必进去亵渎。
My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
7:23 要制造锁链。因为这地遍满流血的罪，城邑充满强暴的事，
Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
7:24 所以我必使列国中最恶的人来占据他们的房屋。我必使强暴人的骄傲止息，他们的圣所都要被亵渎。
Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
7:25 毁灭临近了，他们要求平安，却无平安可得。
Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
7:26 灾害加上灾害，风声接连风声。他们必向先知求异象，但祭司讲的律法，长老设的谋略都必断绝。
Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
7:27 君要悲哀，王要披凄凉为衣，国民的手都发颤。我必照他们的行为待他们，按他们应得的审判他们，他们就知道我是耶和华。
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
以西结书7参考
先知强调犹大的结局已经逼近了，好像是不会来的一天终于临到……
7:10-11 在第七章中，以西结预告了犹大将彻底毁灭。恶人和骄傲的人最终将受到应得的惩罚。尽管神今日好像没有惩治恶人和骄傲的人，但审判的那一天终会像临到犹大百姓一样，临到那些人。神是在耐心等待罪人悔改（参彼后3:9），但神的审判一到，“无一存留”。我们现在的抉择将决定我们那时的命运。
犹大人被掳在即，然而人往往要到此刻才发现，甚么是短暂，甚么是恒久……
7:12-13 犹大国信靠其繁荣和拥有的东西比信靠神还厉害。所以神要摧毁其繁荣的基础。每当我们去相信偶像，把我们的工作、经济、某个政治体制，或者强大的军力当作安全保障的时候，我们便把神抛在脑后了。
甚么才是处理金钱的正确态度？我是以甚么心态来处理我的财物的？
7:19 百姓放纵对金钱的热爱导致了他们犯罪。正因如此神要毁灭他们。金钱有使人们犯罪的奇特力量。保罗说：“贪财是万恶之根”（提前6:10）。我们使用神赐的礼物──金钱去买能使我们与神分离的东西。我们无限制地花钱来满足自己，但在寻求神──这得满足的真正来源上却不肯花时间，这是多么可悲啊。
欲望会将任何东西变为偶像，有甚么是我的渴望？有甚么已化为我的偶像？
7:20 神赐给人金和银，但人却用它们去制造偶像。神赐给我们的资源应该使用在做神的工和执行神的旨意上面，但我们经常用它们来满足自己的欲望。当我们滥用神的礼物或自私地使用资源时，我们就失去了神真正的目的，同拜偶像的人一样的短视。
骄傲的人总以为自己有一定的资本，甚么是我骄傲的资本？
7:24 耶路撒冷的百姓很为他们的建筑骄傲。圣殿本身成了他们骄傲的资本（24:20-21）。在邪恶不信神的巴比伦人毁灭了耶路撒冷和圣地以后，这种骄傲也被完全粉碎了。如果我们受到了一次羞辱，也许是神在使用它来消除我们生活中的骄傲。
