Punishment for Israel's sins. Eze.7.15-27

HOME | RSV Books | notes

7	Ezekiel - Revised Standard Version	The Latter PROPHETS
	The sword is without, pestilence and famine are within; he that is in the field dies by the sword; and him that is in the city famine and pestilence devour.	Punishment for Israel's sins. Eze.7.15-27
	And if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one over his iniquity.
	All hands are feeble, and all knees weak as water.
	They gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror covers them; shame is upon all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
	They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing; their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD; they cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity.
	Their beautiful ornament they used for vainglory, and they made their abominable images and their detestable things of it; therefore I will make it an unclean thing to them.
	And I will give it into the hands of foreigners for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
	I will turn my face from them, that they may profane my precious place; robbers shall enter and profane it,
	and make a desolation. "Because the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence,
	I will bring the worst of the nations to take possession of their houses; I will put an end to their proud might, and their holy places shall be profaned.
	When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.
	Disaster comes upon disaster, rumor follows rumor; they seek a vision from the prophet, but the law perishes from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
	The king mourns, the prince is wrapped in despair, and the hands of the people of the land are palsied by terror. According to their way I will do to them, and according to their own judgments I will judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
