22. I will also turn my face from them, and they will profane my secret place. Robbers will enter into it, and profane it.
23. “‘Make chains; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24. Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease. Their holy places will be profaned.
25. Destruction comes! They will seek peace, and there will be none.
26. Mischief will come on mischief, and rumour will be on rumour. They will seek a vision of the prophet; but the law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
27. The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with desolation. The hands of the people of the land will be troubled. I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgements I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
