Ezekiel 22

1MoreoverH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 2And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? then cause herH3605 to knowH3045 allH3605 herH3605 abominationsH8441. 3And thou shalt sayH559, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: A cityH5892 that sheddeth bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of herH5921, that herH5921 time may comeH935, and that maketh idolsH1544 againstH5921 herselfH5921 to defileH2930 herH5921! 4Thou art becomeH2930 guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210, and art defiledH2930 in thine idolsH1544 whichH834 thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast causedH5414 thy daysH3117 to drawH7126 nearH7126, and art comeH935 evenH5704 unto thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH6213 thee a reproachH2781 unto the nationsH1471, and a mockingH7048 to allH3605 the countriesH776. 5ThoseH4480 that be nearH7138, and thoseH4480 that be farH7350 from thee, shall mockH7046 thee, thou infamous one and fullH7227 of tumultH4103. 6BeholdH2009, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, everyH376 one accordingH376 to his powerH2220, have been in thee to shedH8210 bloodH1818. 7In thee have they setH6213 lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517; in the midstH8432 of thee, have they dealt by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they wrongedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. 8Thou hast despisedH959 mine holyH6944 things, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676. 9SlanderousH7400 menH376 have been in thee to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they have eatenH398 uponH1961 the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they have committedH6213 lewdnessH2154. 10In thee have they discovered their fathers’H1 nakednessH6172: in thee have they humbled herH1540 that was uncleanH2931 in herH1540 separation. 11And one hath committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his neighbour’s wifeH802; and anotherH7453 hath lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his daughterH1323 in law; and anotherH7453 in thee hath humbled his sisterH269, his father’sH1 daughterH1323. 12In thee have they takenH3947 bribesH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 usuryH8636 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by oppressionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 meH3947, saith the LordH136 GODH136. 13BeholdH2009, therefore, I have smittenH5221 mine handH3709 at thy dishonestH1215 gainH1215 whichH834 thou hast madeH6213, and at thy bloodH1818 whichH834 hath been in the midstH8432 of thee. 14CanH518 thine heartH3820 endureH5975, or canH518 thine handsH3027 be strongH2388, in the daysH3117 that I shall dealH6213 with thee? I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and will doH6213 it. 15And I will scatterH2219 thee among the nationsH1471, and disperseH2219 thee throughH4480 the countriesH776; and I will consumeH8552 thy filthiness outH4480 of thee. 16And thou shalt be profanedH2490 in thyself, in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. 17And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 18SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is becomeH1961 drossH5509 unto meH1961: allH3605 of them are brassH5178 and tinH913 and ironH1270 and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are the drossH5509 of silverH3701. 19Therefore thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: BecauseH3282 ye are allH3605 becomeH1961 drossH5509, therefore beholdH2005, I will gatherH6908 youH3605 intoH413 the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389. 20As they gatherH6908 silverH3701 and brassH5178 and ironH1270 and leadH5777 and tinH913 intoH413 the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 uponH5921 it, to meltH5413 it; soH3651 will I gatherH6908 youH5921 in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will lay youH5921 there, and meltH5413 youH5921. 21Yea, I will gatherH3664 youH5921, and blowH5301 uponH5921 youH5921 with the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shalt be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof. 22As silverH3701 is meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, soH3651 shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have pouredH8210 outH8210 my furyH2534 uponH5921 youH3588. 23And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 24SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto herH559, thou art a landH776 that is notH3808 cleansedH2891, norH3808 rained upon in the dayH3117 of indignationH2195. 25There is a conspiracyH7195 of herH3947 prophetsH5030 in the midstH8432 thereof, like a roaringH7580 lionH738 raveningH2963 the preyH2964: they have devouredH398 soulsH5315; they takeH3947 treasureH2633 and preciousH3366 things; they have madeH3947 herH3947 widowsH490 manyH7235 in the midstH8432 thereof. 26HerH996 priestsH3548 have doneH2554 violenceH2554 to my lawH8451, and have profanedH2490 mine holyH6944 things: they have put noH3808 difference betweenH996 the holyH6944 and the commonH2455, neitherH3808 have they caused men to discernH3045 betweenH996 the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and have hid their eyesH5869 from my sabbathsH7676, and I am profanedH2490 among them. 27HerH7130 princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964; to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, that they may getH1214 dishonestH1215 gainH1215. 28And herH559 prophetsH5030 have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing vanityH7723, and diviningH7080 liesH3577 unto them, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LordH3068 GODH3068, when the LORDH3068 hath notH3808 spokenH1696. 29The peopleH5971 of the landH776 have used oppressionH6233, and exercised robberyH1498; yea, they have vexed the poorH6041 and needyH34, and have oppressedH6231 the strangerH1616 wrongfully. 30And I soughtH1245 for a manH376 among them, that should makeH5975 upH5975 the fenceH1447, and standH5975 in the gapH6556 beforeH6440 meH6440 for the landH776, that I should notH3808 destroyH7843 it: but I foundH4672 noneH3808. 31Therefore have I pouredH8210 outH8210 mine indignationH2195 uponH5921 them; I have consumedH3615 them with the fireH784 of my wrathH5678: their own wayH1870 have I broughtH5414 uponH5921 their headsH7218, saith the LordH136 GODH136.
