22. I will also turn away from the people of Israel, and they will dishonor my treasured place. Then robbers will enter and dishonor it.
23. “Make chains for captives, because the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.
24. So I will bring the worst of the nations to take over the people’s houses. I will also end the pride of the strong, and their holy places will be dishonored.
25. When the people are suffering greatly, they will look for peace, but there will be none.
26. Disaster will come on top of disaster, and rumor will be added to rumor. Then they will try to get a vision from a prophet; the teachings of God from the priest and the advice from the elders will be lost.
