Ezekiel 7:16-22 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

16. If their survivors flee, they will die on the mountains, moaning like doves of the valley on account of their guilt.

17. All their hands will hang limp, and all their knees turn to water.

18. They put on sackcloth, horror clothes them; shame is on all their faces, all their heads are shaved bald.

19. They fling their silver into the streets, and their gold is considered unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them on the day of the Lord’s wrath. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their bellies, for it has been the occasion of their sin.

20. In their beautiful ornaments they took pride; out of them they made their abominable images, their detestable things. For this reason I will make them unclean.

21. I will hand them over as spoils to foreigners, as plunder to the wicked of the earth, so that they may defile them.

22. I will turn my face away from them. My treasure will be defiled; the violent will enter and defile it.
