Ezekiel 7:19-23 New English Translation (NET)

19. They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth was the obstacle leading to their iniquity.

20. They rendered the beauty of his ornaments into pride, and with it they made their abominable images – their detestable idols. Therefore I will render it filthy to them.

21. I will give it to foreigners as loot, to the world’s wicked ones as plunder, and they will desecrate it.

22. I will turn my face away from them and they will desecrate my treasured place. Vandals will enter it and desecrate it.

23. (Make the chain, because the land is full of murder and the city is full of violence.)
