Ezekiel 7:16
The survivors will escape
What it says
Escaping survivors mourn like doves over their iniquity in the mountains.

In context
14They have blown the trumpet 15The sword is outside; 16The survivors will escape 17Every hand will go limp, 18They will put on sackcloth, 19They will throw their silver into the streets, 20His beautiful ornaments 21And I will hand these things over 22I will turn My face away from them, 23Forge the chain, 24So I will bring the most wicked of nations 25Anguish is coming! 26Disaster upon disaster will come, 27The king will mourn,
