Ezekiel 22:6-16

6“ ‘See how each of the princes of Israel who are in you uses his power to shed blood.

7In you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the foreigner and mistreated the fatherless and the widow.

8You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths.

9In you are slanderers who are bent on shedding blood; in you are those who eat at the mountain shrines and commit lewd acts.

10In you are those who dishonor their father’s bed; in you are those who violate women during their period, when they are ceremonially unclean.

11In you one man commits a detestable offense with his neighbor’s wife, another shamefully defiles his daughter-in-law, and another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.

12In you are people who accept bribes to shed blood; you take interest and make a profit from the poor. You extort unjust gain from your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, declares the Sovereign Lord.

13“ ‘I will surely strike my hands together at the unjust gain you have made and at the blood you have shed in your midst.

14Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.

15I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you through the countries; and I will put an end to your uncleanness.

16When you have been defiled in the eyes of the nations, you will know that I am the Lord.’ ”
