Ezekiel 7:24-27

New American Standard Bible

²⁴Therefore, I will bring the worst of the ^(A)nations, and they will take possession of their houses. I will also put an end to the ^(B)pride of the strong ones, and their ^(C)holy places will be profaned. ²⁵When anguish comes, they will seek ^(D)peace, but there will be none. ²⁶^(E)Disaster will come upon disaster and ^(F)rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a ^(G)vision from a prophet, but the ^(H)Law will be lost from the priest, and ^(I)counsel from the elders. ²⁷The king will mourn, the prince will be ^(J)clothed in horror, and the hands of the people of the land will ^[a]tremble. I will deal with them because of their conduct, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the Lord.’”

Ezekiel 7:24-27

New Living Translation

²⁴I will bring the most ruthless of nations
    to occupy their homes.
I will break down their proud fortresses
    and defile their sanctuaries.
²⁵Terror and trembling will overcome my people.
    They will look for peace but not find it.
²⁶Calamity will follow calamity;
    rumor will follow rumor.
They will look in vain
    for a vision from the prophets.
They will receive no teaching from the priests
    and no counsel from the leaders.
²⁷The king and the prince will stand helpless,
    weeping in despair,
and the people’s hands
    will tremble with fear.
I will bring on them
    the evil they have done to others,
and they will receive the punishment
    they so richly deserve.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
