18 They will put on sackcloth,
    their entire body trembling.
Shame shall be on all their faces,
    and their heads will be shaved.
19 They shall fling their silver into the streets,
    and their gold shall be considered as refuse.
Their silver and gold will not be able to save them
    on the day of the Lord’s wrath.
They will not be able to satisfy their hunger
    or to fill their bellies,
    for wealth was the reason for their iniquity.

    in their beautiful jewelry
from which they would fashion
    vile, abominable images.
Therefore, I will regard their jewelry
    as nothing more than filth.
