Ezekiel 7:14

Even though your soldiers blow trumpets to prepare for a battle, no soldier will go into a battle, because I will have killed all of them.

Translation for Translators

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

13People who buy things should not rejoice because of buying things very cheaply, and those who sell things should not be sad because they had to sell things cheaply, because Yahweh will be punishing [MTY] everyone. During the rest of their lives, people who sell some of their property will never be able to buy it back, because I, Yahweh, will never change my mind about what I have declared; because of your sins, I will destroy all of you people.

15When those things happen, your enemies will be outside the city with their swords, and there will be plagues and famines inside the city. Those who flee from the city into the countryside will be killed by their enemies’ swords, and those who stay in the city will die from famines and plagues.
