Context of Ezekiel 7:25
23“Forge the chain! For the land is full of bloodshed. The city is full of violence. 24I will bring the wicked of the nations. They will possess their houses. So I will end the pride of the strong, when their holy places are profaned. Shuddering comes. They will seek peace but there will be none. 26Disaster upon disaster will come, and rumor upon rumor. They will seek a vision from a prophet, but Torah will perish from the kohen and counsel from the elders. 27The king will mourn. The prince will be clothed with despair. The hands of the people of the land will tremble. By their conduct I will deal with them. By their own standards I will judge them. Then they will know that I am Adonai.”
