Good News Bible

Ezekiel 7:13-18 Good News Bible (GNB)

13. No merchant will live long enough to get back what he has lost, because God's anger is on everyone. Those who are evil cannot survive.

14. The trumpet sounds, and everyone gets ready. But no one goes off to war, for God's anger will fall on everyone alike.

15. There is fighting in the streets, and sickness and hunger in the houses. Anyone who is out in the country will die in the fighting, and anyone in the city will be a victim of sickness and hunger.

16. Some will escape to the mountains like doves frightened from the valleys. All of them will moan over their sins.

17. Everyone's hands will be weak, and their knees will shake.

18. They will put on sackcloth and they will tremble all over. Their heads will be shaved, and they will all be disgraced.
