19 ‘They will throw their silver into the streets,And their gold will be like refuse;Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver themIn the day of the wrath of the Lord;They will not satisfy their souls,Nor fill their stomachs,Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
20 ‘As for the beauty of his ornaments,He set it in majesty;But they made from itThe images of their abominations—Their detestable things;Therefore I have made itLike refuse to them.
21 I will give it as plunderInto the hands of strangers,And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;And they shall defile it.
22 I will turn My face from them,And they will defile My secret place;For robbers shall enter it and defile it.
23 ‘Make a chain,For the land is filled with crimes of blood,And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,And they will possess their houses;I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,And their holy places shall be defiled.
25 Destruction comes;They will seek peace, but there shall be none.
