Ezekiel 7:15 in context
13For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

17All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
