Ezekiel condemns the people for taking pride in things, and says that when the wrath of God hits them, those things will be revealed to be worthless to save them. Those not immediately killed by the sword will waste away with disease and hunger in a siege, and their silver and gold they will throw away as garbage. Their greed and pride allowed objects to become the stumbling block of their iniquity. Riches can be a blessing from God, or they can be seen as taking his place. The end of those who trust in riches is depicted here.
LORD, you are our treasure. We value our relationship with you.
Ezekiel 7
