Ezekiel 7:20-27
Wycliffe Bible
20 And they setted the ornament of their brooches into pride; and they made of it the images of their abominations and simulacra. For this thing I gave it to them, into uncleanness.
21 And I shall give it into the hands of aliens, to ravish, and to the unpious men of (the) earth, into prey, and they shall defoul it. (And I shall give it into the hands of strangers, or of foreigners, to rob, and to the unpious of the earth, for prey, and they shall defile it.)
22 And I shall turn away my face from them, and they shall defoul my private (place); and knaves shall enter into it, and shall defoul it.
23 Make thou a closing together; for the land is full of doom of bloods (for the land is full of the judgement of bloodshed), and the city is full of wickedness.
24 And I shall bring (in) the worst of heathen men, and they shall have in possession the houses of them; and I shall make the pride of mighty men to cease, and enemies shall have in possession the saintuaries of them. (And I shall bring in the worst of the heathen, and they shall take possession of their houses; and I shall make the pride of the mighty to cease, and their enemies shall take possession of their sanctuaries.)
25 In anguish coming above (In anguish coming upon them), they shall seek peace, and it shall not be.
26 Disturbing shall come on disturbing, and hearing on hearing; and they shall seek of the prophet a revelation, and (the) law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elder men. (Disturbance, or trouble, shall come upon disturbance, and rumour upon rumour/and bad news upon bad news; and they shall seek a revelation, or a vision, from the prophet, but teaching shall perish from the priest, and counsel, or good advice, from the elders.)
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed in wailing, and the hands of the people of the land shall be disturbed; by the way(s) of them I shall do to them, and by the dooms of them I shall deem them (I shall do to them by their own ways, and I shall judge them with their own judgements); and they shall know, that I am the Lord.

20 They took pride in their beautiful jewelry
and used it to make(A) their detestable idols.
They made it into vile images;(B)
therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them.(C)
21 I will give their wealth as plunder(D) to foreigners
and as loot to the wicked of the earth,
who will defile it.(E)
22 I will turn my face(F) away from the people,
and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure.
They will enter it
and will defile it.(G)
23 “‘Prepare chains!
For the land is full of bloodshed,(H)
and the city is full of violence.(I)
24 I will bring the most wicked of nations
to take possession of their houses.
I will put an end to the pride of the mighty,
and their sanctuaries(J) will be desecrated.(K)
25 When terror comes,
they will seek peace in vain.(L)
26 Calamity upon calamity(M) will come,
and rumor upon rumor.
They will go searching for a vision from the prophet,(N)
priestly instruction in the law will cease,
the counsel of the elders will come to an end.(O)
27 The king will mourn,
the prince will be clothed with despair,(P)
and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.
