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.

Ezekiel 7:15-17
New International Version
15 Outside is the sword;
inside are plague and famine.
Those in the country
will die by the sword;
those in the city
will be devoured by famine and plague.(A)
16 The fugitives(B) who escape
will flee to the mountains.
Like doves(C) of the valleys,
they will all moan,
each for their own sins.(D)
17 Every hand will go limp;(E)
every leg will be wet with urine.(F)
