Ezekiel 7:21
Verse 21 of 27. The 7th of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.
17All hands will be feeble, and all knees will be weak as water.
18They will also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
19They will cast their silver in the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold won’t be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. They won’t satisfy their souls or fill their bellies; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
20As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein. Therefore I have made it to them as an unclean thing.
21I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a plunder; and they will profane it.
22I will also turn my face from them, and they will profane my secret place. Robbers will enter into it, and profane it.
23“‘Make chains, for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease. Their holy places will be profaned.
25Destruction comes! They will seek peace, and there will be none.
