Ezekiel 7:14-27 - The Desolation Of Israel
14 The trumpets shall ye blow, and make you all ready, but no man shall go to the battle, for I am wroth with all the whole multitude. 15 The sword shall be without; pestilence and hunger within: so that whoso is in the field shall be slain with the sword; and he that is in the city shall perish with hunger and pestilence.
16 "And such as escape and flee from among them, shall be upon the hills, like as the doves in the field: every one shall be afraid, because of his own wickedness. 17 All hands shall be let down, and all knees shall be weak as the water; 18 they shall gird themselves with sack cloth, fear shall fall upon them. Their faces shall be confounded, and their heads bald;
19 their silver shall lie in the streets, and their gold shall be despised. Yea, their silver and gold may not deliver them in the day of the fearful wrath of the LORD. They shall not satisfy their hungry souls, neither fill their empty bellies therewith: For it is become their own decay through their wickedness:
20 because they made thereof not only costly Jewels for their pomp and pride, but also abominable images and Idols. For this cause will I make them to be abhorred. 21 Moreover, I will give it into the hands of the strangers to be spoiled: and to the wicked for to be robbed, and they shall destroy it. 22 My face will I turn from them, my treasury shall be defiled: for the thieves shall go into it, and suspend it.
23 "I will make clean riddance, for the land is whole defiled with unrighteous judgment of innocent blood, and the city is full of abominations. 24 Wherefore, I will bring the most cruel tyrants from among the Heathen to take their houses in possession. I will make the pomp of the proud to cease, and they shall take in their Sanctuary. 25 When this trouble cometh, they shall seek peace, but they shall have none. 26 One mischief and sorrow shall follow another, and one rumor shall come after another: Then shall they seek visions in vain at their Prophets. The law shall be gone from the priests, and wisdom from the elders. 27 The king shall mourn, the princes shall be clothed with heaviness, and the hands of the people in the land shall tremble for fear. I will do unto them after their own ways, and according to their own judgments will I judge them: to learn them for to know, that I am the LORD."
