Ezekiel

Ezekiel 7:20–22

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.
