Ezekiel, 7
26. Disaster will follow disaster, rumor will follow rumor. In vain will they demand a vision from the prophet. The priest will have no answer; the elders will be unable to advise.

Jeremiah 30:7: "Ah! What a great day that will be! There will be no other like him. It will be time for anguish to Jacob, but he will be saved from this anguish." This verse talks about the day of judgment, which will be a time of great anguish, but those who turn to God will be saved.

Half of the city will go to exile, but the rest of the people will not be halted from the city.
