Ezekiel 33:27-29

New English Translation

²⁷ “This is what you must say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, those living in the ruins will die^[a] by the sword, those in the open field I will give to the wild beasts for food, and those who are in the strongholds and caves will die of disease. ²⁸ I will turn the land into a desolate ruin; her confident pride will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will be so desolate no one will pass through them. ²⁹ Then they will know that I am the Lord when I turn the land into a desolate ruin because of all the abominable deeds they have committed.’^[b]
