Eze 7:16 | MHM | STEP | The Desolation of Israel. This section explains what happens to those who escape God’s judgment on Israel. Even though some people survive the disaster, their lives are filled with fear, sorrow, and regret. Wealth and the temple, which people trusted in for safety, will not help them. God’s punishment leaves no comfort or escape for those who refused to turn away from sin. v. 16 : Some people will escape the destruction, but their lives will be full of misery. Like Cain, they become fugitives and wanderers, always afraid and never truly safe (Genesis 4:12,14 ). They will live alone on the mountains, avoiding other people because they are ashamed of what has happened to them. Everywhere they go, their guilty consciences will trouble them, and they will always feel scared and sad. 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 .

‏ Ezekiel 7:16

The Desolation of Israel.

This section explains what happens to those who escape God’s judgment on Israel. Even though some people survive the disaster, their lives are filled with fear, sorrow, and regret. Wealth and the temple, which people trusted in for safety, will not help them. God’s punishment leaves no comfort or escape for those who refused to turn away from sin.

v. 16: Some people will escape the destruction, but their lives will be full of misery. Like Cain, they become fugitives and wanderers, always afraid and never truly safe (Genesis 4:12,14 ^a). They will live alone on the mountains, avoiding other people because they are ashamed of what has happened to them. Everywhere they go, their guilty consciences will trouble them, and they will always feel scared and sad. 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 .
