Ezekiel 22:6-16

6See howH2009 everyH376 princeH5387 of IsraelH3478 within you has usedH1961 his powerH2220 toH4616 shedH8210 bloodH1818. 7FatherH1 and motherH517 are treated with contemptH7043. Within your walls the foreign residentH1616 is exploitedH6213H6233, the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490 are oppressedH3238.

8You have despisedH959 My holy thingsH6944 andH853 profanedH2490 My SabbathsH7676. 9Among you areH1961 slanderousH7400 menH582 bent onH4616 bloodshedH1818; within you are those who eatH398 onH413 the mountainH2022 shrines and commitH6213 acts of indecencyH2154.

10In you they have uncoveredH1540 the nakednessH6172 of their fathersH1; in you they violateH6031 women during their menstrual impurityH2931H5079. 11One manH376 commitsH6213 an abominationH8441 withH854 his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802; anotherH376 wickedlyH2154 defilesH2930 his daughter-in-lawH3618; and yet anotherH376 violatesH6031 his sisterH269, his own father’sH1 daughterH1323.

12In you they takeH3947 bribesH7810 toH4616 shedH8210 bloodH1818. You engageH3947 in usuryH5392, takeH1214 excess interestH8636, and extortH6233 your neighborsH7453. But MeH853 you have forgottenH7911, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.

13Now lookH2009, I strikeH5221 My handsH3709 together againstH413 your unjust gainH1215 and againstH5921 the blood you have shedH1818 in your midstH8432. 14Will your courageH3820 endureH5975 orH518 your handsH3027 be strongH2388 in the dayH3117 IH589 dealH6213 with youH854? IH589, the LORDH3068, have spokenH1696, and I will actH6213. 15I will disperseH6327 you among the nationsH1471 and scatter youH2219 throughout the landsH776; I will purgeH8552 your uncleannessH2932H4480. 16And when you have defiledH2490 yourself1 in the eyesH5869 of the nationsH1471, then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068.’”
