19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be †removed: notheir silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them nin the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: ||because it is pthe stumblingblock of their iniquity.

20 As for qthe beauty of his ornament, he set it in qrmajesty: but sthey made the images of ttheir abominations and of ttheir detestable things therein: therefore have I ||set it far from them. 21 And ttI will give it into the hands of uthe strangers vfor a prey, and to wthe wicked of the earth for a spoil; and uthey shall pollute it. 22 My face will I turn also from them, and uthey shall pollute my secret place: for the ||robbers shall enter into it, and udefile it. 23 xMake a chain: for ythe land is full of bloody crimes, and zthe city is full of violence. 24 Wherefore I will bring wthe worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make athe pomp of the strong to cease; and ||btheir holy places bcshall be defiled. 25 †Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and dthere shall be none. 26 eMischief shall come fupon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; gthen shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but hthe law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from ithe ancients. 27 The king shall mourn, and the prince jshall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: kI will do unto them after their way, and †according to their deserts will I judge them; mand they shall know that I am the Lord.
