Ezekiel 7:20-22
New King James Version
20 ‘As for the beauty of his ornaments,
He set it in majesty;
(A)But they made from it
The images of their abominations—
Their detestable things;
Therefore I have made it
Like refuse to them.
21 I will give it as (B)plunder
Into the hands of strangers,
And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
And they shall defile it.
22 I will turn My face from them,
And they will defile My secret place;
For robbers shall enter it and defile it.

Lamentations 2:4-7
New King James Version
4 (A)Standing like an enemy, He has bent His bow;
With His right hand, like an adversary,
He has slain (B)all who were pleasing to His eye;
On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
He has poured out His fury like fire.
5 (C)The Lord was like an enemy.
He has swallowed up Israel,
He has swallowed up all her palaces;
(D)He has destroyed her strongholds,
And has increased mourning and lamentation
In the daughter of Judah.
6 He has done violence (E)to His [a]tabernacle,
(F)As if it were a garden;
He has destroyed His place of assembly;
The Lord has caused
The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
In His burning indignation He has (G)spurned the king and the priest.
7 The Lord has spurned His altar,
He has (H)abandoned His sanctuary;
He has [b]given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
(I)They have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast.

New King James Version
A Dirge and a Prayer for Israel, Destroyed by Enemies
A Psalm of Asaph.
79 O God, the [a]nations have come into (A)Your inheritance;
Your holy temple they have defiled;
(B)They have laid Jerusalem [b]in heaps.
2 (C)The dead bodies of Your servants
They have given as food for the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem,
And there was no one to bury them.
