Ezekiel
Ezekiel 7:19–22
19They will throw their silver into the streets,
and their gold will seem unclean.
Their silver and gold cannot save them
in the day of the wrath of the LORD.
They cannot satisfy their appetites
or fill their stomachs with wealth,
for it became the stumbling block
that brought their iniquity.
20His beautiful ornaments
they transformed into pride
and used them to fashion
their vile images and detestable idols.
Therefore I will make these
into something unclean for them.
21And I will hand these things over
as plunder to foreigners
and loot to the wicked of the earth,
who will defile them.
22I will turn My face away from them,
and they will defile My treasured place.
Violent men will enter it,
and they will defile it.
