Ezekiel 7:24-27
English Standard Version
24 I will bring (A)the worst of the nations to take possession of their houses. (B)I will put an end to the pride of the strong, (C)and their holy places[a] shall be profaned. 25 (D)When anguish comes, (E)they will seek peace, but there shall be none. 26 (F)Disaster comes upon disaster; (G)rumor follows rumor. (H)They seek a vision from the prophet, while (I)the law[b] perishes from the priest and (J)counsel from the elders. 27 The king mourns, the prince is wrapped in despair, and the hands of the people of the land are paralyzed by terror. According to their way (K)I will do to them, and according to their judgments I will judge them, (L)and they shall know that I am the Lord.”

Ezekiel 7:24-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 So I will bring the most evil of nations(A)
to take possession of their houses.
I will put an end to the pride of the strong,
and their sacred places will be profaned.(B)
25 Anguish is coming!
They will seek peace, but there will be none.
26 Disaster after disaster will come,(C)
and there will be rumor after rumor.(D)
Then they will seek a vision from a prophet,(E)
but instruction will perish from the priests
and counsel from the elders.(F)
27 The king will mourn;
the prince will be clothed in grief;
and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.
I will deal with them according to their own conduct,
and I will judge them by their own standards.(G)
Then they will know that I am Yahweh.
