22. I will turn my face away from them and they will desecrate my treasured place. Vandals will enter it and desecrate it.
23. (Make the chain, because the land is full of murder and the city is full of violence.)
24. I will bring the most wicked of the nations and they will take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the arrogance of the strong, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated.
25. Terror is coming! They will seek peace, but find none.
26. Disaster after disaster will come, and one rumor after another. They will seek a vision from a prophet; priestly instruction will disappear, along with counsel from the elders.
27. The king will mourn and the prince will be clothed with shuddering; the hands of the people of the land will tremble. Based on their behavior I will deal with them, and by their standard of justice I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the Lord!”
