SCRIPTURE

"They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity." — Ezekiel 7:19 (ASV)

Shall be removed - literally, shall be an unclean thing (Leviticus 20:21); their gold shall be unclean and abominable in their eyes.

The stumblingblock of their iniquity - . Their gold and silver used in making images was the occasion of their sin.
