18. And they have girded on sackcloth, And covered them hath trembling, And unto all faces [is] shame, And on all their heads--baldness.
19. Their silver into out-places they cast, And their gold impurity becometh. Their silver and their gold is not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of Jehovah, Their soul they do not satisfy, And their bowels they do not fill, For the stumbling-block of their iniquity it hath been.
20. As to the beauty of his ornament, For excellency He set it, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things--they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,
21. And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have polluted it.
22. And I have turned My face from them, And they have polluted My hidden place, Yea, come into it have destroyers, and polluted it.
23. Make the chain; for the land Hath been full of bloody judgments, And the city hath been full of violence.
24. And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused to cease the excellency of the strong, And polluted have been those sanctifying them.
25. Destruction hath come, And they have sought peace, and there is none.
