20
As to the beauty of his ornament, For excellency He set it, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things -- they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,
21
And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have polluted it.
22
And I have turned My face from them, And they have polluted My hidden place, Yea, come into it have destroyers, and polluted it.
23
Make the chain; for the land Hath been full of bloody judgments, And the city hath been full of violence.
24
And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused to cease the excellency of the strong, And polluted have been those sanctifying them.
