Ezekiel 22:3-12
3You shall sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068, “A cityH5892 2sheddingH8210 bloodH1818 in her midstH8432, so that her timeH6256 will comeH935, and that makesH6213 idolsH1544, contraryH5921 to her interest, for defilementH2930! 4You have becomeH816 3guiltyH816 by 4the bloodH1818 whichH834 you have shedH8210, and defiledH2930 by your idolsH1544 whichH834 you have madeH6213. Thus you have broughtH7126 your 5dayH3117 nearH7126 and have comeH935 to your yearsH8141; thereforeH5921H3651 I have madeH6213 you a 6reproachH2781 to the nationsH1471 and a mockingH7048 to allH3605 the landsH776. 5Those whoH7138 are nearH7138 and those whoH7350 are farH7350 from you will mockH7046 you, you of illH2931 reputeH8034, fullH7227 of 7turmoilH4103.
6“BeholdH2009, the 8rulersH5387 of IsraelH3478, eachH376 according to his 9powerH2220, have beenH1961 in you for the purposeH4616 of sheddingH8210 bloodH1818. 7They have 10treatedH7043 fatherH1 and motherH517 lightlyH7043 within you. The 11alienH1616 they have oppressedH6213H6233 in your midstH8432; the 12fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490 they have wrongedH3238 in you. 8You have 13despisedH959 My holyH6944 thingsH6944 and 14profanedH2490 My sabbathsH7676. 9SlanderousH7400 menH376 have beenH1961 in you for the purposeH4616 of sheddingH8210 bloodH1818, and in you they have eatenH398 at the mountainH2022 shrines. In your midstH8432 they have 15committedH6213 actsH2154 of lewdnessH2154. 10In you 16they have 17uncoveredH1540 their fathers’H1 nakednessH6172; in you they have humbledH6031 her whoH2931 was 18uncleanH2931 in her menstrualH5079 impurityH5079. 11OneH376 has committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his 19neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802 and anotherH376 has lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his 20daughter-in-lawH3618. And anotherH376 in you has 21humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father’sH1 daughterH1323. 12In you they have 22takenH3947 bribesH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; you have takenH3947 23interestH5392 and profitsH8636, and you have injuredH1214 your neighborsH7453 for gainH1214 by 24oppressionH6233, and you have 25forgottenH7911 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
