Ezekiel 7:22

Study

       

22 And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

Commentary

 

Ornament

  

'An ornament' denotes holy truth, and something divine in externals. 'The ornament on the nose' signifies good, and 'the bracelets on the hands,' truth, because these things constitute the church.
