Ezekiel 7:12-18

12The 1time has come, the day has arrived. Let neither 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 wrongdoing.

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 the city and the plague and the famine are within. Anyone who is in the field will die by the sword, while famine and the plague will consume those in the city. 16Even when their survivors 12escape, they will be on the mountains like 13doves of the valleys, all of them 14moaning, each over his own wrongdoing. 17All 15hands will hang limp, and all 16knees will drip with water. 18They will 17put on sackcloth and 18shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces, and a 19 20bald patch on all their heads.
