21 I will give it as ^aplunder
Into 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.

24 Therefore I will bring the ^aworst 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 ^bdefiled. ‡

25 ¹Destruction comes;
They will seek peace, but there shall be none. ‡
