Ezekiel 22:3-12

3You shall say, ‘Thus says the Lord 1God, “A city 2shedding blood in her midst, so that her time will come, and that makes idols, contrary to her interest, for defilement! 4You have become 3guilty by 4the blood which you have shed, and defiled by your idols which you have made. Thus you have brought your 5day near and have come to your years; therefore I have made you a 6reproach to the nations and a mocking to all the lands. 5Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you of ill repute, full of 7turmoil.

6“Behold, the 8rulers of Israel, each according to his 9power, have been in you for the purpose of shedding blood. 7They have 10treated father and mother lightly within you. The 11alien they have oppressed in your midst; the 12fatherless and the widow they have wronged in you. 8You have 13despised My holy things and 14profaned My sabbaths. 9Slanderous men have been in you for the purpose of shedding blood, and in you they have eaten at the mountain shrines. In your midst they have 15committed acts of lewdness. 10In you 16they have 17uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you they have humbled her who was 18unclean in her menstrual impurity. 11One has committed abomination with his 19neighbor’s wife and another has lewdly defiled his 20daughter-in-law. And another in you has 21humbled his sister, his father’s daughter. 12In you they have 22taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken 23interest and profits, and you have injured your neighbors for gain by 24oppression, and you have 25forgotten Me,” declares the Lord God.
