Ezekiel 7:20-27 - Judgment For The Profanation Of The Temple And Sanctuary

20 because they made thereof not only costly Jewels for their pomp and pride, but also abominable images and Idols. For this cause will I make them to be abhorred. 21 Moreover, I will give it into the hands of the strangers to be spoiled: and to the wicked for to be robbed, and they shall destroy it. 22 My face will I turn from them, my treasury shall be defiled: for the thieves shall go into it, and suspend it.

23 "I will make clean riddance, for the land is whole defiled with unrighteous judgment of innocent blood, and the city is full of abominations. 24 Wherefore, I will bring the most cruel tyrants from among the Heathen to take their houses in possession. I will make the pomp of the proud to cease, and they shall take in their Sanctuary. 25 When this trouble cometh, they shall seek peace, but they shall have none. 26 One mischief and sorrow shall follow another, and one rumor shall come after another: Then shall they seek visions in vain at their Prophets. The law shall be gone from the priests, and wisdom from the elders. 27 The king shall mourn, the princes shall be clothed with heaviness, and the hands of the people in the land shall tremble for fear. I will do unto them after their own ways, and according to their own judgments will I judge them: to learn them for to know, that I am the LORD."
