Ezekiel 7:14-19
Christian Standard Bible
14 They have blown the trumpet(A)
and prepared everything,
but no one goes to war,
for my wrath is on her whole crowd.
15 The 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.
16 The survivors among them will escape(C)
and live on the mountains.
Like doves of the valley,
all of them will moan,
each over his own iniquity.
17 All their hands will become weak,
and all their knees will run with urine.[a](D)
18 They will put on sackcloth,
and horror will overwhelm them.
Shame will cover all their faces,
and all their heads will be bald.(E)
19 They 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.

Ezekiel 7:14-19
Lexham English Bible
14 They shall blow on the trumpet and prepare everything,[a] but there is no one going to the battle, for my anger is on all of their multitude. 15 The sword is outside,[b] and the plague and the famine are inside;[c] the one who is in the field will die by the sword, and the one who is in the city, famine and plague will devour him. 16 And if their survivors will escape, they will be on the mountains, like the doves of the valley, all of them groaning, each because of his guilt. 17 All of the hands will hang limp, and all of the knees will be wet with urine.[d] 18 And they will wear sackcloth, and horror will cover them, and on all of the faces will be shame, and baldness on all of their heads. 19 Their silver they will discard on the streets, and filth will be their gold; their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them on the day of the wrath of Yahweh. They will not satisfy their hunger[e] and their stomachs they will not fill, for their guilt will be their[f] stumbling block.
