Ezekiel 22:3-12

3Then sayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, The cityH5892 sheddethH8210 bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of it, that her timeH6256 may comeH935, and makethH6213 idolsH1544 against herself to defileH2930 herself.

4Thou art become guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210; and hast defiledH2930 thyself in thine idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to draw nearH7126, and art comeH935 even unto thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH5414 thee a reproachH2781 unto the heathenH1471, and a mockingH7048 to all countriesH776.

5Those that be nearH7138, and those that be farH7350 from thee, shall mockH7046 thee, which art infamousH8034H2931 and muchH7227 vexedH4103.1

6Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 were in thee to their powerH2220 to shedH8210 bloodH1818.2

7In thee have they set lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517: in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealtH6213 by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they vexedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490.3

8Thou hast despisedH959 mine holy thingsH6944, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.

9In thee are menH582 that carry talesH7400 to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they eatH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they commitH6213 lewdnessH2154.4

10In thee have they discoveredH1540 their fathers’H1 nakednessH6172: in thee have they humbledH6031 her that was set apartH5079 for pollutionH2931.

11And oneH376 hath committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his neighbour’sH7453 wifeH802; and anotherH376 hath lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his daughter in lawH3618; and anotherH376 in thee hath humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father’sH1 daughterH1323.567

12In thee have they takenH3947 giftsH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 usuryH5392 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gainedH1214 of thy neighboursH7453 by extortionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069.
