Ezekiel 7:25

Read in context

Ezekiel 7:23–27 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

27 The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and I will judge them by their own standards. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
