Ezekiel 22:6-16
6“BeholdH2009, the 1rulersH5387 of IsraelH3478, eachH376 according to his 2powerH2220, have beenH1961 in you for the purposeH4616 of sheddingH8210 bloodH1818. 7They have 3treatedH7043 fatherH1 and motherH517 lightlyH7043 within you. The 4alienH1616 they have oppressedH6213H6233 in your midstH8432; the 5fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490 they have wrongedH3238 in you. 8You have 6despisedH959 My holyH6944 thingsH6944 and 7profanedH2490 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 8committedH6213 actsH2154 of lewdnessH2154. 10In you 9they have 10uncoveredH1540 their fathers’H1 nakednessH6172; in you they have humbledH6031 her whoH2931 was 11uncleanH2931 in her menstrualH5079 impurityH5079. 11OneH376 has committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his 12neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802 and anotherH376 has lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his 13daughter-in-lawH3618. And anotherH376 in you has 14humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father’sH1 daughterH1323. 12In you they have 15takenH3947 bribesH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; you have takenH3947 16interestH5392 and profitsH8636, and you have injuredH1214 your neighborsH7453 for gainH1214 by 17oppressionH6233, and you have 18forgottenH7911 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
13“BeholdH2009, then, I smiteH5221 My handH3709 at your 19dishonestH1215 gainH1215 whichH834 you have acquiredH6213 and at 20the bloodshedH1818 whichH834 is amongH8432 you. 14Can 21your heartH3820 endureH5975, orH518 can your handsH3027 be strongH2388 in the daysH3117 that I will dealH6213 with you? 22I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696 and will actH6213. 15I will 23scatterH6327 you among the nationsH1471 and I will disperseH2219 you through the landsH776, and I will 24consumeH8552 your uncleannessH2932 from you. 16You will profaneH2490 yourself in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471, and you will 25knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”’”
