Ezekiel 7:14 — Meaning and Application

The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath {is} upon all the multitude thereof.

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision {is} touching the whole multitude thereof, {which} shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. {although they...: Heb. though their life were yet among the living} {in the...: or, whose life is in his iniquity} {the iniquity: Heb. his iniquity}

They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath {is} upon all the multitude thereof.

The sword {is} without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that {is} in the field shall die with the sword; and he that {is} in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
