Ezekiel 7:19

“Their silver into the streets they will throw, and their gold will be as impurity; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of YHWH; their appetite they will not satisfy, and their insides they will not fill, for it was the stumbling block of their iniquity.”

of YHWHיְהוָהyehva

YHWH
