17. All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall melt into water.
18. And they shall gird on sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19. They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an impurity: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's wrath; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their belly; for it hath been the stumbling-block of their iniquity.
20. And he set in majesty his beautiful ornament; but they made therein the images of their abominations and of their detestable things: therefore have I made it an impurity unto them.
21. And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
22. And I will turn my face from them; and they shall profane my secret place; and the violent shall enter into it, and profane it.
23. Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24. Therefore will I bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses; and I will make the pride of the strong to cease; and their sanctuaries shall be profaned.
