Ezekiel 7:12-18 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. The time has come, the day dawns. The buyer must not rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is coming upon all the throng.

13. Assuredly, the seller shall not regain what was sold, as long as they all live; for the vision is for the whole crowd: it shall not be revoked! Yes, because of their guilt, they shall not hold on to life.

14. They will sound the trumpet and get everything ready, but no one will go out to battle, for my wrath weighs upon all the crowd.

15. The sword is outside; disease and hunger are within. Whoever is in the fields will die by the sword; whoever is in the city disease and hunger will devour.

16. If their survivors flee, they will die on the mountains, moaning like doves of the valley on account of their guilt.

17. All their hands will hang limp, and all their knees turn to water.

18. They put on sackcloth, horror clothes them; shame is on all their faces, all their heads are shaved bald.
