26 Habrá calamidad tras calamidad; un rumor seguirá a otro rumor. En vano buscarán una visión de los profetas. No recibirán enseñanza de los sacerdotes ni consejo de los líderes.
Mischief shall come upon mischief One misfortune or calamity after another; first one unhappy event, and then another, as was Job's case. The Targum is,
``breach upon breach shall come F15:''
and rumour shall be upon rumour; that the Chaldean army is in such a place; and then that it is in another place still nearer; and then that it is but a few miles off, and, will be here immediately: rumours of wars, as well as wars, themselves, are very distressing; see ( Matthew 24:6 ) ; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; apply to him for a prophecy, to know the event of things, whether and when they might expect a deliverance: but the law shall perish from the priest; whose lips should keep knowledge, and from whose mouth the law, the doctrine and interpretation of it, might be expected; but now either there would be no priests at all; or such as were would be ignorant and unlearned, and incapable of instructing the people: and counsel from the ancients; with whom it usually is; and which is of great service in a time of distress: this therefore adds greatly to the calamity, that there would be no prophet to tell them what should come to pass; no priest to instruct them; nor senator or wise man to give them counsel.

Ezequiel 7:26 In-Context
24 Traeré a las naciones más despiadadas para que se apoderen de sus casas. Derrumbaré sus orgullosas fortalezas y haré que se profanen sus santuarios.
25 El terror y el temblor se apoderarán de mi pueblo. Buscarán paz, pero no la encontrarán.
26 Habrá calamidad tras calamidad; un rumor seguirá a otro rumor. En vano buscarán una visión de los profetas. No recibirán enseñanza de los sacerdotes ni consejo de los líderes.
27 El rey y el príncipe quedarán indefensos, sollozando de desesperación, y las manos de la gente temblarán de miedo. Los haré pasar por la misma maldad que ellos causaron a otros y recibirán el castigo que tanto merecen. ¡Entonces sabrán que yo soy el Señor !».
