Ezekiel 7:10-27
New International Version
Ezekiel 7:10-27
New International Version
10 “‘See, the day!
See, it comes!
Doom has burst forth,
the rod(A) has budded,
arrogance has blossomed!
11 Violence(B) has arisen,[a]
a rod to punish the wicked.
None of the people will be left,
none of that crowd—
none of their wealth,
nothing of value.(C)
12 The time has come!
The day has arrived!
Let not the buyer(D) rejoice
nor the seller grieve,
for my wrath is on the whole crowd.(E)
13 The seller will not recover
the property that was sold—
as long as both buyer and seller live.
For the vision concerning the whole crowd
will not be reversed.
Because of their sins, not one of them
will preserve their life.(F)
14 “‘They have blown the trumpet,(G)
they have made all things ready,
but no one will go into battle,
for my wrath(H) is on the whole crowd.
15 Outside is the sword;
inside are plague and famine.
Those in the country
will die by the sword;
those in the city
will be devoured by famine and plague.(I)
16 The fugitives(J) who escape
will flee to the mountains.
Like doves(K) of the valleys,
they will all moan,
each for their own sins.(L)
17 Every hand will go limp;(M)
every leg will be wet with urine.(N)
18 They will put on sackcloth(O)
and be clothed with terror.(P)
Every face will be covered with shame,
and every head will be shaved.(Q)
19 “‘They will throw their silver into the streets,(R)
and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean.
Their silver and gold
will not be able to deliver them
in the day of the Lord’s wrath.(S)
It will not satisfy(T) their hunger
or fill their stomachs,
for it has caused them to stumble(U) into sin.(V)
20 They took pride in their beautiful jewelry
and used it to make(W) their detestable idols.
They made it into vile images;(X)
therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them.(Y)
21 I will give their wealth as plunder(Z) to foreigners
and as loot to the wicked of the earth,
who will defile it.(AA)
22 I will turn my face(AB) away from the people,
and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure.
They will enter it
and will defile it.(AC)
23 “‘Prepare chains!
For the land is full of bloodshed,(AD)
and the city is full of violence.(AE)
24 I will bring the most wicked of nations
to take possession of their houses.
I will put an end to the pride of the mighty,
and their sanctuaries(AF) will be desecrated.(AG)
25 When terror comes,
they will seek peace in vain.(AH)
26 Calamity upon calamity(AI) will come,
and rumor upon rumor.
They will go searching for a vision from the prophet,(AJ)
priestly instruction in the law will cease,
the counsel of the elders will come to an end.(AK)
27 The king will mourn,
the prince will be clothed with despair,(AL)
and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.
I will deal with them according to their conduct,(AM)
and by their own standards I will judge them.
“‘Then they will know that I am the Lord.(AN)’”

Ezekiel 7:10-27
King James Version
Ezekiel 7:10-27
King James Version
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their's: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 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.
19 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.
20 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.
21 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.
22 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.
23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24 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.
25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 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.
27 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.

Matthew 12:43-45
New International Version
43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.(A) That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
Matthew 12:43-45
King James Version
Matthew 12:43-45
King James Version
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
