Ezekiel 7:22-24

Contemporary English Version

²²They will break into my temple^[a] and leave it unfit as a place to worship me, but I will look away and let it happen.

²³Your whole country is in confusion!^[b] Murder and violence are everywhere in Israel, ²⁴so I will tell the most wicked nations to come and take over your homes. They will put an end to the pride you have in your strong army, and they will make your places of worship unfit to use.
