Ezekiel 7:22-24

Common English Bible

²² When I hide my face from my people,
    foreigners will defile my treasured place.
    Violent intruders will invade it; they will defile it!

²³ Make a chain!
    The earth is full of perverted justice,
        the city full of violence.
²⁴ I’ll bring up the cruelest nations,
    and they will seize their houses.
    I’ll break their proud strength,
        and their sanctuaries will be defiled.
