Ezekiel 7:15-27 - Punishment For Israel's Sins

¹⁵ The sword without, and the death and the famine from within: who is in the field shall die by the sword; and who is in the city, the famine and death shall consume him.

¹⁶ And they escaping, escaped, and they were on the mountains as doves of the valleys, all of them slain, a man for his iniquity. ¹⁷ All hands shall be relaxed, and all knees shall go into water. ¹⁸ And they girded on sackcloth and trembling covered them; and shame to all faces, and upon all heads, baldness.

¹⁹ They will cast their silver into the streets, and their gold shall be for uncleanness: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the outpouring of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, and they shall not fill their bowels: for it was the stumbling-block of their iniquity.

²⁰ The matter of his ornament they set for pride; and they made the images of their abominations, their abominable things upon it: for this I gave it to them for uncleanness. ²¹ And I gave it into the hands of strangers for plunder, and to the unjust of the earth for a spoil; and they profaned it ²² And I turned my face from them, and they profaned my secret; and the rapacious came into it and profaned it

²³ Make the chain: for the land was filled with judgment of bloods, and the city was filled with violence. ²⁴ And I brought the evil ones of the nations, and they inherited their houses: and I caused the pride of the strong ones to cease, and their holy places were profaned. ²⁵ And terror came, and they sought peace, and none. ²⁶ And ruin upon ruin shall come, and report shall be to report; and they sought a vision from the prophet; and law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the old men. ²⁷ The king shall mourn, and the prince shall put on desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall tremble: from their way will I do with them, and with their judgments I will judge them, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
