Ezekiel 7:20 in Context — Ezekiel 7

18 Ceñirse han también de sacos, y cubrirálos temblor; y en todo rostro habrá confusión, y en todas sus cabezas peladura.

19 Arrojarán su plata por las calles, y su oro será desechado; su plata ni su oro, no podrá librarlos en el día del furor de Jehová; no saciarán su alma, ni henchirán sus entrañas: porque ha sido tropiezo para su maldad.

20 Por cuanto la gloria de su ornamento pusieron en soberbia, é hicieron en ella imágenes de sus abominaciones, de sus estatuas: por eso se la torné á ellos en alejamiento;

21 Y en mano de extraños la entregué para ser saqueada, y en despojo á los impíos de la tierra, y la contaminarán.

22 Y apartaré de ellos mi rostro, y violarán mi [lugar] secreto; pues entrarán en él destruidores, y le profanarán.
