Context of Ezekiel 7:21
19They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an impurity: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's wrath; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their belly; for it hath been the stumbling-block of their iniquity. 20And he set in majesty his beautiful ornament; but they made therein the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things: therefore have I made it an impurity unto them. And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it. 22And I will turn my face from them; and they shall profane my secret [place]; and the violent shall enter into it, and profane it. 23Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
