Ezekiel 7:14-23
New Living Translation
The Desolation of Israel
14 “The trumpet calls Israel’s army to mobilize,
but no one listens,
for my fury is against them all.
15 There is war outside the city
and disease and famine within.
Those outside the city walls
will be killed by enemy swords.
Those inside the city
will die of famine and disease.
16 The survivors who escape to the mountains
will moan like doves, weeping for their sins.
17 Their hands will hang limp,
their knees will be weak as water.
18 They will dress themselves in burlap;
horror and shame will cover them.
They will shave their heads
in sorrow and remorse.
19 “They will throw their money in the streets,
tossing it out like worthless trash.
Their silver and gold won’t save them
on that day of the Lord’s anger.
It will neither satisfy nor feed them,
for their greed can only trip them up.
20 They were proud of their beautiful jewelry
and used it to make detestable idols and vile images.
Therefore, I will make all their wealth
disgusting to them.
21 I will give it as plunder to foreigners,
to the most wicked of nations,
and they will defile it.
22 I will turn my eyes from them
as these robbers invade and defile my treasured land.
23 “Prepare chains for my people,
for the land is bloodied by terrible crimes.
Jerusalem is filled with violence.
Ezekiel 7:14-23
Legacy 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, and the plague and the famine are inside. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also devour 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 iniquity. 17 All (F)hands will hang limp, and all knees will [b]become like water. 18 They will (G)gird themselves with sackcloth, and (H)horror will cover them; and shame will be on all faces and (I)baldness on all their heads. 19 They will (J)throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will become an impure thing; their (K)silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the fury of Yahweh. They cannot satisfy their soul, nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.
The Temple Profaned
20 They [c]transformed the beauty of His ornaments into pride, and (L)they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an impure thing to them. 21 I will give it into the hands of the (M)foreigners as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will profane it. 22 I will also turn My (N)face from them, and they will profane My secret place; then robbers will enter and profane it.
23 ‘(O)Make the chain, for the land is full of (P)judgments that promote bloodshed, and the city is (Q)full of violence.
