18 They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Every face will be covered with shame, and every head will be shaved.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
18 They put on sackcloth, and horror covers them. Shame is on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
18 They dress in rough burlap - sorry scarecrows, Shifty and shamefaced, with their heads shaved bald.
18 They will also be girded with sackcloth; Horror will cover them; Shame will be on every face, Baldness on all their heads.
18 They will dress themselves in burlap; horror and shame will cover them. They will shave their heads in sorrow and remorse.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:18
Commentary on Ezekiel 7:16-22
(Read Ezekiel 7:16-22)
Sooner or later, sin will cause sorrow; and those who will not repent of their sin, may justly be left to pine away in it. There are many whose wealth is their snare and ruin; and the gaining the world is the losing of their souls. Riches profit not in the day of wrath. The wealth of this world has not that in it which will answer the desires of the soul, or be any satisfaction to it in a day of distress. God's temple shall stand them in no stead. Those are unworthy to be honoured with the form of godliness, who will not be governed by its power.
