Ezekiel 7:18

Read in context

Ezekiel 7:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 The survivors will escape and live in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valley, each for his own iniquity.

17 Every hand will go limp, and every knee will turn to water.

18 They will put on sackcloth, and terror will overwhelm them. Shame will cover all their faces, and all their heads will be shaved.

19 They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs with wealth, for it became the stumbling block that brought their iniquity.

20 His beautiful ornaments they transformed into pride and used them to fashion their vile images and detestable idols. Therefore I will make these into something unclean for them.
