Ezekiel 12:18

Signs of the Coming Captivity

17Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,18“Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.19Then tell the people of the land that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in dread, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.
