“The word of Yahweh
Came to me.
‘Son of man!
Prophesy!
Say!
Thus says Yahweh God!
‘Wail!
Alas!
The day!
The day is near!
The day of Yahweh
Is near!
It will be
A day of clouds.
It will be
A time of doom
For the nations.’”
Once again, Yahweh came to Ezekiel, the son of man. He was to cry out that the judgment day of Yahweh was coming. This day of clouds and doom was near, so that the various nations should be on watch for this day.
