Ezekiel 22:12-16 Bribes, have they accepted in thee, For the sake of shedding blood,––Interest and increase, hast thou accepted, And thou hast overreached thy neighbour, by oppression, And, me, hast thou forgotten, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Bribes, have they accepted in thee, For the sake of shedding blood,––Interest and increase, hast thou accepted, And thou hast overreached thy neighbour, by oppression, And, me, hast thou forgotten, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh. ¹³ Lo! therefore, I have smitten my hand, At thine unjust gain which thou hast made––And over thy bloodshed, which they have caused in thy midst. ¹⁴ Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days when I, am dealing with thee? I, Yahweh, have spoken, and will perform. ¹⁵ Therefore will I disperse thee among the nations, And scatter thee throughout the lands,––And will cause to cease thine impurity out of thee; ¹⁶ So shalt thou be profaned in thyself, before the eyes of nations, Thus shalt thou know, that, I, am Yahweh.
