Ezekiel 7:14-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴They have blown the trumpet^(A)
and prepared everything,
but no one goes to war,
for My wrath is on all her masses.
¹⁵The sword is on the outside;^(B)
plague and famine are on the inside.
Whoever is in the field will die by the sword,
and famine and plague will devour
whoever is in the city.

¹⁶The survivors among them will escape^(C)
and live on the mountains
like doves of the valley,
all of them moaning,
each over his own iniquity.
¹⁷All their hands will become weak,^(D)
and all their knees will turn to water.
¹⁸They will put on sackcloth,
and horror will overwhelm them.
Shame will cover all their faces,
and all their heads will be bald.^(E)

¹⁹They will throw their silver into the streets,
and their gold will seem like something filthy.^(F)
Their silver and gold will be unable to save them
in the day of the Lord’s wrath.^(G)
They will not satisfy their appetites
or fill their stomachs,
for these were the stumbling blocks^(H)
that brought about their iniquity.

²⁰He appointed His beautiful ornaments for majesty,
but^[a] they made their abhorrent images from them,
their detestable things.^(I)
Therefore, I have made these
into something filthy for them.
²¹I will hand these things over
to foreigners as plunder^(J)
and to the wicked of the earth as spoil,
and they will profane them.
²²I will turn My face from the wicked
as they profane My treasured place.
Violent men will enter it and profane it.
