Ezekiel 7:11

Violence, namely, that of the conquering Chaldeans, is risen up into a rod of wickedness, namely, to carry out the punishment upon the wicked; none of them shall remain, the inhabitants being either slaughtered or carried into captivity, nor of their multitude, noisy and boisterous though they formerly were, nor of any of theirs, of their riches or possessions; neither shall there be wailing for them, literally, "neither is there anything glorious among them," anything of which they might feel justly proud.
