New Century Version

Ezekiel 7:11-18 New Century Version (NCV)

11. Violence has grown into a weapon for punishing wickedness. None of the people will be left—none of that crowd, none of their wealth, and nothing of value.

12. The time has come; the day has arrived. Don’t let the buyer be happy or the seller be sad, because my burning anger is against the whole crowd.

13. Sellers will not return to the land they have sold as long as they live, because the vision against all that crowd will not be changed. Because of their sins, they will not save their lives.

14. They have blown the trumpet, and everything is ready. But no one is going to the battle, because my anger is against all that crowd.

15. “The sword is outside, and disease and hunger are inside. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword. Hunger and disease will destroy those in the city.

16. Those who are left alive and who escape will be on the mountains, moaning like doves of the valleys about their own sin.

17. All hands will hang weakly with fear, and all knees will become weak as water.

18. They will put on rough cloth to show how sad they are. They will tremble all over with fear. Their faces will show their shame, and all their heads will be shaved.
