16. Those survivors who escape will head for the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one over his iniquity.
17. All hands will be feeble. All knees will turn to water.
18. They will also gird on sackcloth. Horror will cover them. Shame will be upon all faces. Baldness will be upon all their heads.
19. They will throw their silver in the streets. Their gold will be as garbage. Their silver and their gold cannot deliver them in the day of Adonai’s wrath. They will not satisfy their appetite or fill their bellies, for their iniquity is a stumbling block.
20. They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and made images of their abominations and their detestable idols. Therefore I made it niddah to them.
21. I will give it into the hands of the strangers as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will profane it.
