Ezekiel 7:17-19
Contemporary English Version
17 Your hands will tremble, and your knees go limp. 18 You will put on sackcloth[a] to show your sorrow, but terror will overpower you. Shame will be written all over your faces, and you will shave your heads in despair. 19 Your silver and gold will be thrown into the streets like garbage, because those are the two things that led you into sin, and now they cannot save you from my anger. They are not even worth enough to buy food.
