Ezekiel 7:15-22
15The 1sword is outside the city and the plague and the famine are within. Anyone who is in the field will die by the sword, while famine and the plague will consume those in the city. 16Even when their survivors 2escape, they will be on the mountains like 3doves of the valleys, all of them 4moaning, each over his own wrongdoing. 17All 5hands will hang limp, and all 6knees will drip with water. 18They will 7put on sackcloth and 8shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces, and a 910bald patch on all their heads. 19They will 11fling their silver into the streets, and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their 12silver and their gold will not be able to save them on the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their 13appetite, nor can they fill their stomachs, because their wrongdoing has become a cause of stumbling. 20Moreover, they transformed the splendor of His jewels into pride, and 14they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an abhorrent thing to them. 21And I will hand it over to the 15foreigners as plunder, and to the wicked of the earth as spoils; and they will profane it. 22I will also turn My 16face away from them, and they will profane My treasure; then robbers will enter and profane it.
