Ezekiel 7:20
New International Reader's Version (NIRV)
20 My people were so proud of their beautiful jewelry. They used it to make statues of their evil gods. I hate those gods. So I will turn their statues into an “unclean” thing for them.
God gave the people silver and gold, but they used the silver and gold to make idols. The resources God gives us should be used to do His work and carry out His will, but too often we use them to satisfy our own desires. When we abuse God's gifts or use resources selfishly, we miss the real purpose God had in mind. This is as shortsighted as idolatry.
