Ezekiel 22:6-16

6“Behold, each prince of Israel has used his own arm’s strength in you to shed blood.

7Father and mother have been treated with contempt; the outsider has been oppressed in your midst; the orphan and the widow have been mistreated in you.

8You have despised My holy things and profaned My Shabbatot.

9Slanderous men are in you in order to shed blood. They have eaten at the mountain shrines; they commit immoral acts in your midst.

10They have uncovered their fathers’ nakedness in you; they violate women that are in niddah within you.

11One has been detestable with his neighbor’s wife; another has wickedly defiled his daughter-in-law; yet another has violated his sister, his father’s daughter, in you.

12They accept bribes in order to shed blood in you; you have taken usurious interest. You have greedily gained by oppressing your neighbors, and you have forgotten Me.” It is a declaration of Adonai.

13“Now look, I clap My hands at your dishonest gain that you have made and at your bloodshed in your midst.

14Will your heart’s courage stand or your hands be strong in the days when I deal with you? I, Adonai, have spoken it and will do it.

15I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you throughout the lands. I will purge your uncleanness from you.

16You will be defiled in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am Adonai.”
