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
New Living Translation
24 I will bring the most ruthless of nations
to occupy their homes.
I will break down their proud fortresses
and defile their sanctuaries.
25 Terror and trembling will overcome my people.
They will look for peace but not find it.
26 Calamity will follow calamity;
rumor will follow rumor.
They will look in vain
for a vision from the prophets.
They will receive no teaching from the priests
and no counsel from the leaders.
27 The king and the prince will stand helpless,
weeping in despair,
and the people’s hands
will tremble with fear.
I will bring on them
the evil they have done to others,
and they will receive the punishment
they so richly deserve.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
