Ezekiel 7:17-18

“All hands will be feeble, and all knees will be as weak as water. They will also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror will cover them and shame will be on all their faces and baldness on all their heads.”

For all, both those who escape and those caught in the city, it will be a life of mourning. They will have no strength. They will live in terror They will put on sackcloth, and shave their heads as signs of distress, not because of past iniquity but because they are still in iniquity. They will be filled with ‘horror', with fear and trembling (Job 21:6; Psalms 55:5; Isaiah 21:4). Ashes on their faces will demonstrate their shame.
