Ezekiel 22:2-16

ACV(i) 2 And thou, son of man, will thou judge, will thou judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations. 3 And thou shall say, Thus says the lord LORD: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and who makes idols against herself to defile her! 4 Thou have become guilty in thy blood that thou have shed, and are defiled in thine idols which thou have made. And thou have caused thy days to draw near, and have come even to thy years. Therefore I have made thee a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. 5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one, full of tumult. 6 Behold, the rulers of Israel, each one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood. 7 In thee they have made light of father and mother. In the midst of thee they have dealt with the sojourner by oppression. In thee they have wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8 Thou have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths. 9 Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood, and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains. In the midst of thee they have committed lewdness. 10 In thee they have uncovered their fathers' nakedness. In thee they have humbled her who was unclean in her impurity. 11 And one has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law, and another in thee has humbled his sister, his father's daughter. 12 In thee they have taken bribes to shed blood. Thou have taken interest and increase. And thou have greedily gained from thy neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the lord LORD. 13 Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou have made, and at thy blood which has been in the midst of thee. 14 Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, LORD, have spoken it, and will do it. 15 And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries, and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee. 16 And thou shall be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations. And thou shall know that I am LORD.
