Ezekiel 7:19

Easy To Read Version

They will throw their silver \{idols\} into the streets. They will treat their gold \{statues\} like dirty rags! Why? Because those things will not be able to save them when the Lord shows his anger. Those things were nothing but a trap that caused the people to fall (sin). Those things will not give food to the people and they won’t put food in their bellies.
