LITV(i)
2 And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 Then you shall say, So says the Lord Jehovah: The city sheds blood in her midst, that her time may come. And she makes idols against herself, to defile herself .
4 By your blood which you have shed, you are guilty; and by your idols which you have made, you are defiled. And your days are brought near, and you have come to your years. On account of this, I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the lands.
5 Those who are near and those far from you shall mock against you, O defiled of name, abounding in tumult.
6 Behold, the rulers of Israel, each man by his might, have been in you in order to shed blood.
7 In you they have despised father and mother. In your midst they have dealt with the alien by oppression. In you they oppressed the widow and the orphan.
8 You have despised My holy things and have profaned My sabbaths.
9 In you are men of slander in order to shed blood, and in you they eat on the mountains. In your midst they do unchaste acts.
10 In you he has uncovered the nakedness of the father; in you they humbled the defiled by her impurity.
11 And a man has done abomination with his neighbor's wife, and a man has defiled his daughter-in-law in unchaste acts. And in you a man has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
12 In you they have taken bribes in order to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have gained by extortion of your neighbor. And you have forgotten Me, declares the Lord Jehovah.
