Ezekiel 22:3-12

3You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: A city that sheds blood within her walls so that her time of judgment has come and who makes idols for herself so that she is defiled!

4You are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled from the idols you have made. You have brought your judgment days near and have come to your years of punishment. Therefore, I have made you a disgrace to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.

5Those who are near and those far away from you will mock you, you infamous one full of turmoil.

6“‘Look, every prince of Israel within you has used his strength to shed blood.

7Father and mother are treated with contempt, and the resident alien is exploited within you. The fatherless and widow are oppressed in you.

8You despise my holy things and profane my Sabbaths.

9There are men within you who slander in order to shed blood. People who live in you eat at the mountain shrines; they commit depraved acts within you.

10Men within you have sexual intercourse with their father’s wife and violate women during their menstrual impurity.

11One man within you commits a detestable act with his neighbor’s wife; another defiles his daughter-in-law with depravity; and yet another violates his sister, his father’s daughter.

12People who live in you accept bribes in order to shed blood. You take interest and profit on a loan and brutally extort your neighbors. You have forgotten me. This is the declaration of the Lord God.
