Ezekiel 7:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ “ ‘I will hand over their wealth to outsiders. I will turn it over to sinful people in other countries. They will make it “unclean.” ²² I will turn my face away from my people. Robbers will make “unclean” the temple I love. They will enter it and make it “unclean.”

²³ “ ‘Ezekiel, get ready to put my people in chains. The land is full of murderers. They are harming one another all over Jerusalem.
