20 He appointed His beautiful ornaments for majesty,
but[a] they made their abhorrent images from them,
their detestable things.(A)

into something filthy for them.
21 I will hand these things over

and to the wicked of the earth as spoil,
and they will profane them.
22 I will turn My face from the wicked
as they profane My treasured place.
Violent men will enter it and profane it.
