THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE ABHORRENCES OF YISRA EL
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 You, son of humanity, Judge you? Judge you the city of blood? Yes, have her know all her abhorrences, 3 saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: The city pours blood in its midst, so that her time approaches: and she works idols against herself to foul herself. 4 You guilt in that you pour blood; and foul yourself by the idols you work; and you cause your days to approach, and approach your years: so I give you - a reproach to the goyim and a ridicule to all lands. 5 The near, and the far from you, all ridicule you, O polluted of name and much confused. 6 Behold, the hierarchs of Yisra El, every man of you, according to his arm, pours blood: 7 in you they abase father and mother: in your midst they worked oppression with the sojourner: in you they vex the orphan and the widow. 8 You despise my holies and you profane my shabbaths: 9 in you are men - talebearers to pour blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in your midst they work intrigue: 10 in you they expose the nakedness of their fathers: in you they debase her who was excluded for foulness. 11 And every man works abhorrence with the woman of his friend: and every man intriguingly fouls his daughter in law: and every man in you debases his sister - the daughter of his father: 12 in you they take bribes to pour blood: you take usury and bounty and you greedily gain of your friends by extortion: and forget me - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 13 And behold, I smite my palm at the greedy gain you work; and at your blood in your midst. ] 14 Stands your heart? Or are your hands strong in the days I work with you? I Yah Veh word and work: 15 and I winnow you among the goyim and disperse you in the lands and consume your foulness from you: 16 and you profane yourself in the eyes of the goyim, and you know I - Yah Veh. 17 And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 18 Son of humanity, the house of Yisra El is to me become dross: all they are copper and tin and iron and lead midst the furnace - drosses of silver. 19 So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you all become dross, behold, so I gather you midst Yeru Shalem: 20 a gathering of silver and copper and iron and lead and tin midst the furnace, to puff the fire thereon, to melt: thus I gather you in my wrath and in my fury and I leave you and melt you: 21 yes, I gather you, and puff on you in the fire of my wrath, and melt you in the midst: 22 as silver melts midst the furnace, thus you melt in the midst: and you know that I Yah Veh pour my fury on you. 23 And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 24 Son of humanity, say to her, You are the land - neither purified nor rained on in the day of rage 25 - a conspiracy of prophets in her midst: as a roaring lion tearing the prey, they devour souls: they take the wealthy and esteemed; they abound her widows in her midst: 26 her priests violate my torah and profane my holies: they neither separate between the holy and profane nor make known between the foul and the pure; and conceal their eyes from my shabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 Her governors midst her are as wolves tearing the prey, to pour blood; to destroy souls; to greedily gain greedy gain: 28 and her prophets daub them with slime - seers of vanity, divining lies to them, saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: when Yah Veh words not. 29 The people of the land in oppressing, oppress; and in stripping, strip; and vex the humble and needy: yes, they oppress the sojourner without judgment. 30 And I seek for a man among them, to wall up the wall, and stand in the breach at my face for the land to not ruin it: and I find no one: 31 and I pour my rage on them; I finished them off with the fire of my wrath: I give their own way on their heads - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.
