17 All their hands will become weak, and all their knees will turn to water.
18 They will put on sackcloth,and horror will overwhelm them.Shame will cover all their faces,and all their heads will be bald.
19 They will throw their silver into the streets,and their gold will seem like something filthy. Their silver and gold will be unable to save themin the day of the Lord’s wrath. They will not satisfy their appetitesor fill their stomachs,for these were the stumbling blocks that brought about their iniquity.
20 He appointed His beautiful ornaments for majesty,but they made their abhorrent images from them,their detestable things. Therefore, I have made theseinto something filthy for them.
21 I will hand these things overto foreigners as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as spoil,and they will profane them.
22 I will turn My face from the wickedas they profane My treasured place.Violent men will enter it and profane it.
23 Forge the chain, for the land is filled with crimes of bloodshed,and the city is filled with violence.
