MLV(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 And you will say, The lord Jehovah says thus: 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 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed and are defiled in your idols which you have made. And you have caused your days to draw near and have come even to your years.
Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mocking to all the countries. 5 Those that are near and those that are far from you, will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
6 Behold, the rulers of Israel, each one according to his power, have been in you to shed blood. 7 In you they have made light of father and mother. In the midst of you they have dealt with the traveler by oppression. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8 You have despised my holy things and have profaned my Sabbaths. 9 Slanderers have been in you to shed blood and in you they have eaten upon the mountains. In the midst of you they have committed lewdness. 10 In you they have uncovered their fathers' nakedness. In you 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 you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
12 In you they have taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase. And you have greedily gained from your neighbors by oppression and have forgotten me, says the lord Jehovah.
13 Behold, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, Jehovah, have spoken it and will do it.
15 And I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the countries and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
