Context of Ezekiel 7:22
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. Those 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. 23Prepare chains to tie my people. The whole land is full of murder and violence. 24I will bring the most wicked people from other nations to attack. They will take the houses of my people and they will live in them. The strong men among my people will no longer boast. Enemies will spoil the holy places where my people worshipped.
