Ezekiel 7:24

Read in context

Ezekiel 7:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 I will turn My face away from them, and they will defile My treasured place. Violent men will enter it, and they will defile it.

23 Forge the chain, for the land is full of crimes of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence.

24 So I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. I will end the pride of the mighty, and their holy places will be profaned.

25 Anguish is coming! They will seek peace, but find none.

26 Disaster upon disaster will come, and rumor after rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but instruction from the priests will perish, as will counsel from the elders.
