Ezekiel 7:19-27

19They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs with wealth, for it became the stumbling block that brought their iniquity.

20His beautiful ornamentsthey transformed into prideand used them to fashiontheir vile images and detestable idols.Therefore I will make theseinto something unclean for them.21And I will hand these things overas plunder to foreignersand loot to the wicked of the earth,who will defile them.22I will turn My face away from them,and they will defile My treasured place.Violent men will enter it,and they will defile it.

23Forge the chain,for the land is full of crimes of bloodshed,and the city is full of violence.24So I will bring the most wicked of nationsto take possession of their houses.I will end the pride of the mighty,and their holy places will be profaned.

25Anguish is coming!They will seek peace, but find none.26Disaster upon disaster will come,and rumor after rumor.Then they will seek a vision from a prophet,but instruction from the priests will perish,as will counsel from the elders.27The king will mourn,the prince will be clothed with despair,and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.I will deal with them according to their conduct,and I will judge them by their own standards.

Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
