Lord says to the land of Israel: An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land!

you according to your behavior,
I will hold you accountable for
all your abominable practices.
7:4 My eye will not pity you; I will not spare
you.
For I will hold you responsible for your behavior,
and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices.
Then you will know that I am the
Lord!
7:5 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: A disaster – a one-of-a-kind disaster – is coming!

7:7 Doom is coming upon you who live in the land! The time is coming, the day is near. There are sounds of tumult, not shouts of joy, on the mountains.
7:8 Soon now I will pour out my rage 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 you. For your behavior I will hold you accountable, and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is striking you.
