Ezekiel 22:1-12

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.
