Ezekiel 22:2-13

KJ2000(i) 2 Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? yea, you shall show her all her abominations. 3 Then say you, Thus says the Lord GOD, The city sheds blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and makes idols within herself to defile herself. 4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed; and have defiled yourself in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even unto your years: therefore have I made you a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all countries. 5 Those that are near, and those that are far from you, shall mock you, who are infamous and full of tumult. 6 Behold, the princes of Israel, each one in you used his power to shed blood. 7 In you have they made light of father and mother: in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths. 9 In you are men that slander to shed blood: and in you they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of you they commit lewdness. 10 In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness: in you have they violated her that was set apart for 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 you has violated his sister, his father’s daughter. 12 In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained from your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD. 13 Behold, therefore I have struck my hands together at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
