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.
Ezekiel 7:24-27
Common English Bible
24 I’ll bring up the cruelest nations,
and they will seize their houses.
I’ll break their proud strength,
and their sanctuaries will be defiled.
25 Disaster! It has come!
They seek peace, but there is none.
26 One disaster comes after another,
and rumor follows rumor.
They seek a vision from the prophet.
Instruction disappears from the priest,
and counsel from the elders.
27 The king will go into mourning,
the prince will clothe himself in despair,
and the hands of the land’s people will tremble.
When I do to them as they have done
and judge them by their own justice,
they will know that I am the Lord.
