New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 7
15 The sword 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.
16 Even when their survivors escape, they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each over his own iniquity.
17 All hands will hang limp and all knees will become like water.
18 They will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads.
19 They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.
20 They transformed the beauty of His ornaments into pride, and they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an abhorrent thing to them.
21 I will give it into the hands of the foreigners as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will profane it.
22 I will also turn My face from them, and they will profane My secret place; then robbers will enter and profane it.
23 ’Make the chain, for the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore, I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong ones cease, and their holy places will be profaned.
25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
