Ezekiel 7:20-27 - Judgment For The Profanation Of The Temple And Sanctuary
20 While the beauty of his own ornament he had in majesty placed, Then the images, of their abominations. Their detestable things, Made they therein, - For this cause have I delivered it up to them for removal; 21 Yea I will deliver it Into the hand of foreigners for a prey, And to the lawless ones of the earth for a spoil, And they will profane it; 22 And I will turn away my face from them, And they will profane my cherished place, - Yea there will enter it violent men Who will profane it. -
23 Prepare thou a chain, For the land is full of the crime of bloodshed, And the city is full of violence. 24 So then I will bring in the wicked ones of the nations, And they shall take possession of their houses, - And I will cause to cease the pomp of the strong ones, And their holy places shall be profaned. 25 Destruction, hath entered,- And they shall seek welfare and there be none. 26 Disaster upon disaster, shall come, And report after report shall arise, Therefore shall they seek a vision from prophet, And law shall perish from priest. And counsel from elders. 27 the king, shall mourn and the chief shall clothe himself with astonishment, and the hands of the people of the land shall be wrung in anguish, - After their own way, will I deal with them and :With their own sentences, will I sentence them, And they shall know that all Yahweh.
