Ezekiel 7:23 — Meaning and Application

And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret {place}: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it. {robbers: or, burglers}

Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. {their holy...: or, they shall inherit their holy places}

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and {there shall be} none. {Destruction: Heb. Cutting off}
