Ezekiel 22:3-12

Thomson(i) 3 and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, Lord, city, which sheddest blood in the midst of thee, to cause thy time to come; and which makest idols against thyself to pollute thyself. 4 In the blood which thou hast shed, thou art fallen: and with thine idols, which thou hast made, thou art defiled: and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and hast brought on the term of thy years; therefore I have made thee a scoff to the nations, and a mocking stock to all the countries; 5 to those near and to those far from thee; and they shall insult thee, thou impure, infamous and abandoned city. 6 Behold in thee the princes of the house of Israel banded themselves, every one with his relations, that they might shed blood. 7 In thee they reviled father and mother; and in thee practised injustice against the stranger. They oppressed the widow and the orphan; 8 and in thee they despised my holy things and profaned my sabbaths. 9 In thee men became robbers, that in thee they might shed blood. And they ate upon the mountains near thee; and in the midst of thee committed abominable things. 10 In thee they uncovered the nakedness of a father; and in thee humbled a woman in a state of separation. 11 In thee one debauched his neighbour's wife; another wantonly defiled his daughter in law; and another humbled his sister, his father's daughter. 12 In thee they received bribes to shed blood. In thee they took interest and usury, and thou hast completed thy wickedness by oppression. And me thou hast forgotten, saith the Lord.
