Ezekiel 7:15-17

Contemporary English Version

Israel Is Surrounded

The Lord said to the people of Israel:

¹⁵ War, disease, and starvation are everywhere! People who live in the countryside will be killed in battle, and those who live in towns will die from starvation or deadly diseases. ¹⁶ Anyone who survives will escape into the hills, like doves who leave the valleys to find safety.

All of you will moan^[a] because of your sins. ¹⁷ Your hands will tremble, and your knees go limp.
