Ezekiel 7:20

Judgment For The Profanation Of The Temple And Sanctuary

¹⁹ They will throw their silver into the streets,
and their gold will seem like something filthy.
Their silver and gold will be unable to save them
in the day of the Lord’s wrath.
They will not satisfy their appetites
or fill their stomachs,
for these were the stumbling blocks
that brought about their iniquity. ²⁰ He appointed His beautiful ornaments for majesty,
but they made their abhorrent images from them,
their detestable things.
Therefore, I have made these
into something filthy for them.
²¹ I will hand these things over
to foreigners as plunder
and to the wicked of the earth as spoil,
and they will profane them.
