Ezekiel 7:14-19
English Standard Version
14 “They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but none goes to battle, (A)for my wrath is upon all their multitude. 15 (B)The sword is without; pestilence and famine are within. (C)He who is in the field dies by the sword, (D)and him who is in the city famine and pestilence devour. 16 (E)And if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like (F)doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one over his iniquity. 17 (G)All hands are feeble, and all knees turn to water. 18 (H)They put on sackcloth, and (I)horror covers them. Shame is on all faces, and (J)baldness on all their heads. 19 They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. (K)Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. (L)For it was (M)the stumbling block of their iniquity.

Ezekiel 7:14-19
Common English Bible
14 They have blown the horn,
and everything is ready, but no one goes to battle,
because my wrath overcomes the whole crowd.
15 Outside, the sword! Inside, plague and famine!
Whoever is out in the field will die by the sword.
Whoever is in the city,
plague and famine will consume them.
16 And those who flee?
They will turn up on the hills like valley doves,
all of them moaning, those guilty ones.
17 Every hand will hang limp;
urine will run down every leg.
18 They will put on mourning clothes,
and horror will cover them.
On every face, shame;
on all their heads, baldness.
19 They will hurl their silver into the street,
and their gold will seem unclean.
Their silver and their gold won’t deliver them
on the day of the Lord’s anger.
They won’t satisfy their appetites or fill their bellies.
Their guilt will bring them down.
