Ezekiel 7:19-27

19They will 1fling their silver into the streets, and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their 2silver and their gold will not be able to save them on the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their 3appetite, 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 4they 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 5foreigners as plunder, and to the wicked of the earth as spoils; and they will profane it. 22I will also turn My 6face away from them, and they will profane My treasure; then robbers will enter and profane it.

23‘7Make the 8chain, for the land is full of 910bloody crimes, and the city is 11full of violence. 24Therefore, I will bring the worst of the 12nations, and they will take possession of their houses. I will also put an end to the 13pride of the strong ones, and their 14holy places will be profaned. 25When anguish comes, they will seek 15peace, but there will be none. 2616Disaster will come upon disaster and 17rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a 18vision from a prophet, but the 19Law will be lost from the priest, and 20counsel from the elders. 27The king will mourn, the prince will be 21clothed in horror, and the hands of the people of the land will 22tremble. I will deal with them because of their conduct, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the Lord.’”
