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.
And rumor will be upon rumor.
bThen they will seek a vision from a prophet;
But the law will perish from the priest,
And counsel from the elders.
The prince will be clothed with desolation,
And the hands of the common people will tremble.
I will do to them according to their way,
And according to what they deserve I will judge them;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord!’ ”

Ezekiel 7:20
As for the beauty of his ornament - Their beautiful temple was their highest ornament, and God made it majestic by his presence. But they have even taken its riches to make their idols, which they have brought into the very courts of the Lord' s house; and therefore God hath set it - the temple, from him - given it up to pillage. Some say it means, "They took their ornaments, which were their pride, and made them into images to worship."
