Ezekiel 7:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ Anyone who survives will escape into the hills, like doves who leave the valleys to find safety.

All of you will moan^[a] because of your sins. ¹⁷ Your hands will tremble, and your knees go limp. ¹⁸ You will put on sackcloth^[b] to show your sorrow, but terror will overpower you. Shame will be written all over your faces, and you will shave your heads in despair.
