Ezekiel 12:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 Son of man, eat your bread trembling and drink your water shaking with fear.(A) 19 And say to the people of the land:[a] Thus says the Lord God about the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: they shall eat their bread in fear and drink their water in horror, because the land will be emptied of what fills it—the lawlessness of all its inhabitants. 20 Inhabited cities shall be in ruins, the land a desolate place. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
