Ezekiel 7:14-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ ‘They have ^(A)blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all ^[a]their multitude. ¹⁵ The ^(B)sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city. ¹⁶ Even when their survivors ^(C)escape, they will be on the mountains like ^(D)doves of the valleys, all of them ^[b](E)mourning, each over his own iniquity. ¹⁷ All ^(F)hands will hang limp and all knees will ^[c]become like water. ¹⁸ They will ^(G)gird themselves with sackcloth and ^(H)shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and ^(I)baldness on all their heads. ¹⁹ They will ^(J)fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their ^(K)silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their ^[d]appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.
