Ezekiel 7:16-22

16Those who remain alive will escape. They will run to the mountains. They will be like doves that hunters have chased out of the valleys. They will cry aloud because of their sins.

17Their hands will be weak. Their knees will shake.

18They will wear sackcloth. They will be very afraid. Their faces will show that they are ashamed. They will cut all the hair from their heads.

19They will throw their silver away in the streets. They will think that their gold has no value, like dirt. Their silver and their gold will not be able to save them on the day of the Lord's great anger. When they are hungry, their money will not buy them any food. It is their riches that have caused them to do wicked things.

20They were proud of their beautiful jewels. They used them to make disgusting idols and images. That is why I, the Lord, have made them hate their valuable things.

21I will allow foreigners and wicked people to take those things from them. They will use those valuable things in a disgusting way.

22Those foreigners and robbers will go into my holy temple. They will cause it to become unclean. But I will look away and I will allow them to do that.
