Ezekiel 7:23American Standard Version 2015Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. See the chapter |
And he brought me into the inner court of Jehovah's house; and behold, at the door of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.
and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, {\i and despoiled} of all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
