New Living Translation

Ezekiel 7:14-19 New Living Translation (NLT)

14. “The trumpet calls Israel’s army to mobilize,but no one listens,for my fury is against them all.

15. There is war outside the cityand disease and famine within.Those outside the city wallswill be killed by enemy swords.Those inside the citywill die of famine and disease.

16. The survivors who escape to the mountainswill moan like doves, weeping for their sins.

17. Their hands will hang limp,their knees will be weak as water.

18. They will dress themselves in burlap;horror and shame will cover them.They will shave their headsin sorrow and remorse.

19. “They will throw their money in the streets,tossing it out like worthless trash.Their silver and gold won’t save themon that day of the lord’s anger.It will neither satisfy nor feed them,for their greed can only trip them up.
