Ezekiel 7:26

Judgment For The Profanation Of The Temple And Sanctuary

²⁵ Anguish is coming!
They will seek peace, but there will be none.
²⁶ Disaster after disaster will come,
and there will be rumor after rumor.
Then they will seek a vision from a prophet,
but instruction will perish from the priests
and counsel from the elders.
²⁷ The king will mourn;
the prince will be clothed in grief;
and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.
I will deal with them according to their own conduct,
and I will judge them by their own standards.
Then they will know that I am Yahweh.
