Horror will cover them;
Shame will be on every face,
Baldness on all their heads.
And their gold will be like refuse;
Their asilver and their gold will not be able to deliver them
In 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.
He set it in majesty;
aBut they made from it
The images of their abominations—
Their detestable things;
Therefore I have made it
Like refuse to them.
Into the hands of strangers,
And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
And they shall defile it.
And they will defile My secret place;
For robbers shall enter it and defile it.
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be bdefiled.
| << Ezekiel 7:19 | Ezekiel 7:21 >> |
