Ezekiel 7:14-23
1599 Geneva Bible
14 [a]They have blown the trumpet, and prepared all, but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword is without, and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field, shall die with the sword, and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 But they that flee away from them, shall escape, and shall be in the mountains, like the doves of the valleys: all they shall mourn, every one for his iniquity.
17 (A)All hands shall be weak, and all knees shall fall away as water.
18 (B)They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and fear shall cover them, and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon their heads.
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be cast far off: their (C)silver and their gold cannot deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: for this ruin is for their iniquity.
20 He had also set the beauty of his [b]ornament in majesty: but they made images of their abominations, and of their idols therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
21 And I will give it into the hands of the [c]strangers to be spoiled, and to the wicked of the earth to be robbed, and they shall pollute it.
22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my [d]secret place: for the destroyers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23 ¶ Make a [e]chain: for the land is full of the [f]judgment of blood, and the city is full of cruelty.
