Ezekiel 7:15-20 New English Translation (NET)

15. The sword is outside; pestilence and famine are inside the house. Whoever is in the open field will die by the sword, and famine and pestilence will consume everyone in the city.

16. Their survivors will escape to the mountains and become like doves of the valleys; all of them will moan – each one for his iniquity.

17. All of their hands will hang limp; their knees will be wet with urine.

18. They will wear sackcloth, terror will cover them; shame will be on all their faces, and all of their heads will be shaved bald.

19. They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth was the obstacle leading to their iniquity.

20. They rendered the beauty of his ornaments into pride, and with it they made their abominable images – their detestable idols. Therefore I will render it filthy to them.
