Ezekiel 7:24-27
New American Standard Bible
24 Therefore, I will bring the worst of the (A)nations, and they will take possession of their houses. I will also put an end to the (B)pride of the strong ones, and their (C)holy places will be profaned. 25 When anguish comes, they will seek (D)peace, but there will be none. 26 (E)Disaster will come upon disaster and (F)rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a (G)vision from a prophet, but the (H)Law will be lost from the priest, and (I)counsel from the elders. 27 The king will mourn, the prince will be (J)clothed in horror, and the hands of the people of the land will [a]tremble. I will deal with them because of their conduct, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the Lord.’”

Ezekiel 7:24-27
New King James Version
24 Therefore I will bring the (A)worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be (B)defiled.
25 [a]Destruction comes;
They will seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 (C)Disaster will come upon disaster,
And rumor will be upon rumor.
(D)Then they will seek a vision from a prophet;
But the law will perish from the priest,
And counsel from the elders.
27 ‘The king will mourn,
The prince will be clothed with desolation,
And the hands of the common people will tremble.
I will do to them according to their way,
And according to what they deserve I will judge them;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord!’ ”
