20 He appointed His beautiful ornaments for majesty,
but[a] they made their abhorrent images from them,
their detestable things.(A)
Therefore, I have made these
into something filthy for them.
21 I will hand these things over
to foreigners as plunder(B)
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.

21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
