Ezekiel 22:1-22

1Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559, 2Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? yea, thou shalt showH3045 her all her abominationsH8441.123 3Then sayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, 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 by thy idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to draw nearH7126, and art comeH935 even to thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH5414 thee a reproachH2781 to the heathenH1471, and a mockingH7048 to all countriesH776. 5Those that are nearH7138, and those that are farH7350 from thee, shall mockH7046 thee, who art infamousH2931H8034 and muchH7227 troubledH4103.4 6Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 were in thee to their powerH2220 to shedH8210 bloodH1818.5 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 oppressedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490.6 8Thou hast despisedH959 my 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 lewdnessH2154.7 10In thee have they uncoveredH1540 their fathersH1’ 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 daughterH1323.8910 12In thee have they takenH3947 giftsH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 interestH5392 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gainedH1214 from thy neighboursH7453 by extortionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. 13Behold, therefore I have smittenH5221 my handH3709 at thy dishonest gainH1215 which thou hast madeH6213, and at thy bloodH1818 which hath been in the midstH8432 of thee. 14Can thy heartH3820 endureH5975, or can thy 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 scatterH6327 thee among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 thee in the countriesH776, and will consumeH8552 thy filthinessH2932 out of thee. 16And thou shalt take thy inheritanceH2490H5157 in thyself in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.11

17And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559, 18SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is to me become drossH5509: all they are brassH5178, and tinH913, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are even the drossH5509 of silverH3701.12 19Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye are all become drossH5509, behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 you into the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389. 20As they gatherH6910 silverH3701, and brassH5178, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, and tinH913, into the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 upon it, to meltH5413 it ; so will I gatherH6908 you in my angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will leaveH3240 you there, and meltH5413 you.13 21Yea, I will gatherH3664 you, and blowH5301 upon you in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shall be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 of it. 22As silverH3701 is meltedH2046 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, so shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 of it; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have poured outH8210 my furyH2534 upon you.
