Ezekiel 22:1-12

1Moreover the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 2And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloody cityH5892? then cause her to knowH3045 all her abominationsH8441. 3And thou shalt sayH559, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: A cityH5892 that sheddeth bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of her, that her timeH6256 may comeH935, and that maketh idolsH1544 against herself to defileH2930 her! 4Thou art becomeH2930 guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210, and art defiledH2930 in thine idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to drawH7126 near, and art comeH935 even unto thy yearsH8141: thereforeH3651 have I madeH6213 thee a reproachH2781 unto the nationsH1471, and a mocking to all the countries. 5Those that are near, and those that are farH7350 from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous oneH4480 and full of tumult.

6Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 according to his power, have beenH1961 in thee to shedH8210 bloodH1818. 7In thee have they set light by fatherH1 and motherH517; in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealt by oppressionH6233 with the sojournerH1616; in thee have they wronged the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. 8Thou hast despisedH959 my holyH6944 thingsH6944, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676. 9Slanderous menH376 have beenH1961 in thee to shedH8210 bloodH1818; and in thee they have eatenH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they have committed lewdness. 10In thee have they uncoveredH1540 their fathers’H1 nakednessH6172; in thee have they humbled her that was uncleanH2931 in her impurityH5079. 11And oneH376 hath committed abominationH8441 with his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802; and another hath lewdly defiledH2930 his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath humbled his sisterH269, his father’sH1 daughterH1323. 12In thee have they takenH3947 bribesH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 interestH5392 and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighborsH7453 by oppressionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
