Ezekiel 33:27-29

Contemporary English Version

²⁷ As surely as I am the living Lord God, you people in the ruined cities will be killed in battle. Those of you living in the countryside will be eaten by wild animals, and those hiding in caves and on rocky cliffs will die from deadly diseases. ²⁸ I will make the whole country an empty wasteland and crush the power in which you take such pride. Even the mountains will be bare, and no one will try to cross them. ²⁹ I will punish you because of your sins, and I will turn your nation into a barren desert. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
