20As for their beautiful ornament, they had put it on high, and had made the images of their disgusting and hated things in it: for this cause I have made it an unclean thing to them.
21And I will give it into the hands of men from strange lands who will take it by force, and to the evil-doers of the earth to have for themselves; and they will make it unholy.
22And my face will be turned away from them, and they will make my secret place unholy: violent men will go into it and make it unholy.
23Make the chain: for the land is full of crimes of blood, and the town is full of violent acts.
24For this reason I will send the worst of the nations and they will take their houses for themselves: I will make the pride of their strength come to an end; and their holy places will be made unclean.
25Shaking fear is coming; and they will be looking for peace, and there will be no peace.
26Destruction will come on destruction, and one story after another; and the vision of the prophet will be shamed, and knowledge of the law will come to an end among the priests, and wisdom among the old.
