Ezekiel 7:22-24

New International Reader's Version

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. ²⁴ I will bring the most evil nations against them. They will take over the houses in the city. I will put an end to the pride of those who are mighty. Their holy places will be made “unclean.”
