Ezekiel 7:14-23
New American Standard Bible
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 the city and the plague and the famine are within. Anyone who is in the field will die by the sword, while famine and the plague will 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 (E)moaning, each over his own wrongdoing. 17 All (F)hands will hang limp, and all [b]knees will drip with water. 18 They will (G)put on sackcloth and (H)shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces, and a [c](I)bald patch 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 save them on the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their [d]appetite, nor can they fill their stomachs, because their wrongdoing has become a cause of stumbling.
The Temple Profaned
20 Moreover, they transformed the splendor of His jewels into pride, and (L)they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an abhorrent thing to them. 21 And I will hand it over to the (M)foreigners as plunder, and to the wicked of the earth as spoils; and they will profane it. 22 I will also turn My (N)face away from them, and they will profane My treasure; then robbers will enter and profane it.
23 ‘(O)Make the [e]chain, for the land is full of [f](P)bloody crimes, and the city is (Q)full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:14-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 They have blown the horn and made everything ready,
but no one goes to battle,
for my wrath is upon all their multitude.
15 The sword is outside; pestilence and famine are inside;
those in the field die by the sword;
those in the city—famine and pestilence devour them.(A)
16 If any survivors escape,
they shall be found on the mountains
like doves of the valleys,
all of them moaning over their iniquity.(B)
17 All hands shall grow feeble,
all knees turn to water.(C)
18 They shall put on sackcloth;
horror shall cover them.
Shame shall be on all faces,
baldness on all their heads.(D)
19 They shall fling their silver into the streets;
their gold shall be treated as unclean.
Their silver and gold cannot save them on the day of the wrath of the Lord. They shall not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity.(E) 20 From their[a] beautiful ornament, in which they took pride, they made their abominable images, their detestable things; therefore I will make of it an unclean thing to them.(F)
21 I will hand it over to strangers as plunder,
to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
they shall profane it.(G)
22 I will avert my face from them
so that they may profane my treasured[b] place;
the violent shall enter it;
they shall profane it.(H)
23 Make a chain![c]
For the land is full of bloody crimes;
the city is full of violence.(I)
