27 You shall say this to them: ‘This is what the Lord God says: “As I live, those who are in the places of ruins certainly will (A)fall by the sword, and whoever is in the [a]open field I will give to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the (B)caves will die of plague. 28 And I will (C)make the land a desolation and a waste, and the (D)pride of her power will be brought to an end; and the mountains of Israel will be deserted so that no one will pass through. 29 Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I make the land a desolation and a waste because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’

  1. Ezekiel 33:27 Lit faces of the field

27 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured; and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. 28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through. 29 Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
