Ezekiel 7:12-18

12The 1time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the 2buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn; for 3wrath is against all their multitude. 13Indeed, the seller will not 4 5regain 6what he sold as long as 7they both live; for the vision regarding all their multitude will not 8be averted, nor will any of them maintain his life by his iniquity.

14‘They have 9blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all 10their multitude. 15The 11sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city. 16Even when their survivors 12escape, they will be on the mountains like 13doves of the valleys, all of them 14 15mourning, each over his own iniquity. 17All 16hands will hang limp and all knees will 17become like water. 18They will 18gird themselves with sackcloth and 19shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and 20baldness on all their heads.
