Ezekiel 7:19

Their silver shall be cast forth, and their gold shall become a dunghill. *Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They shall not satisfy their soul, and their bellies shall not be filled: because it hath been the stumbling-block of their iniquity.

Proverbs 11:4.; Sophonias 1:18.; Ecclesiasticus 5:10.; Ecclesiasticus 5:13.

Iniquity. Riches have fostered their passions: they will not now procure food or liberty, Sophonias 1:18. (Calmet) --- The riches of the idols invited the enemy to plunder. (Worthington)
