Ezekiel 12:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ Tell the whole nation that this is the message of the Sovereign Lord to the people of Jerusalem who are still living in their land: They will tremble when they eat and shake with fear when they drink. Their land will be stripped bare, because everyone who lives there is lawless. ²⁰ Cities that are now full of people will be destroyed, and the country will be made a wilderness. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
