Ezekiel 22:2-15 And thou, son of man, wilt thou take to task, wilt thou take to task the city of blood? and wilt thou make her know all her abominations?

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And thou, son of man, wilt thou take to task, wilt thou take to task the city of blood? and wilt thou make her know all her abominations? ³ Then say thou, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, O city that sheddeth blood in her midst, that her time of sorrow may come, and that hath made idols for herself to become unclean: ⁴ Through thy blood which thou hast shed, are thou become guilty; and through thy idols which thou hast made art thou become unclean; and thou hast caused thy days of destruction to draw near, and thou art come even unto thy years; therefore do I make thee a disgrace unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. ⁵ Those who are near, and those who are far from thee, shall mock thee, O thou unclean in name, and great in confusion! ⁶ Behold, the princes of Israel were each ready with his arm within thee, in order to shed blood. ⁷ Father and mother they esteemed lightly within thee, toward the stranger they acted with extortion in the midst of thee, the fatherless and the widow they oppressed within thee. ⁸ My holy things thou didst despise, and my sabbaths thou didst profane. ⁹ Tale-bearers also were within thee, in order to shed blood; and upon the mountains did they eat within thee; incest did they commit in the midst of thee. ¹⁰ Their father’s nakedness they uncovered within thee; her that was unclean in her separation did they violate within thee. ¹¹ And one with his neighbor’s wife did commit abomination; and another did defile his daughter-in-law with incest; and another did violate his sister, the daughter of his father, within thee. ¹² Bribes they took within thee, in order to shed blood; interest and increase didst thou take, and thou didst acquire gain off thy neighbors by extortion: and me thou didst forget, saith the Lord Eternal. ¹³ And behold, I have struck my hands together at thy wrongful gain which thou hast acquired, and at thy blood-guilt which hath been in the midst of thee. ¹⁴ Will thy courage endure, or will thy hands remain strong, on the days that I will deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do it. ¹⁵ And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and I will entirely remove thy uncleanness out of thee.
