19     They will throw their silver into the streets
        and treat their gold as impure, worthless,
    Once they discover their silver and gold cannot rescue them
        on the day the Eternal ignites His fierce anger.
    They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their bellies with their riches,
        for their earthly riches are what made them stumble into sin.
20     They took pride in their attractive jewelry
        and constructed breathless idols and disgusting images with it.
    Therefore, I will make their riches impure and disgusting to them.
21     I will give their religious rubbish away to strangers
        as the wicked marauders of the earth loot and defile their treasures.
