Ezekiel 22

The Sins of Israel

1

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

2

"And you, sonh1121 of manh120, will you judgeh8199, will you judgeh8199 the bloodyh1818 cityh5892b? Then cause her to knowh3045 allh3605 her abominationsh8441.

3

"You shall sayh559, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068, "A cityh5892b  asheddingh8210 bloodh1818 in her midsth8432, so that her timeh6256 will comeh935, and that makesh6213a idolsh1544, contraryh5921 to her interest, for defilementh2930!

4

"You have becomeh816  aguiltyh816 by  1the bloodh1818 whichh834 you have shedh8210, and defiledh2930 by your idolsh1544 whichh834 you have madeh6213a. Thus you have broughth7126 your  2dayh3117 nearh7126 and have comeh935 to your yearsh8141; thereforeh5921h3651 I have madeh6213a you a  breproachh2781 to the nationsh1471 and a mockingh7048 to allh3605 the landsh776.

5

"Those whoh7138 are nearh7138 and those whoh7350 are farh7350 from you will mockh7046 you, you of illh2931 reputeh8034, fullh7227a of  aturmoilh4103.

6

"Beholdh2009, the  arulersh5387a of Israelh3478, eachh376 according to his  1powerh2220, have beenh1961 in you for the purposeh4616 of sheddingh8210 bloodh1818.

7

"They have  atreatedh7043 fatherh1 and motherh517 lightlyh7043 within you. The  balienh1616 they have oppressedh6213ah6233 in your midsth8432; the  cfatherlessh3490 and the widowh490 they have wrongedh3238 in you.

8

"You have  adespisedh959 My holyh6944 thingsh6944 and  bprofanedh2490c My sabbathsh7676.

9

"Slanderoush7400 menh376 have beenh1961 in you for the purposeh4616 of sheddingh8210 bloodh1818, and in you they have eatenh398 at the mountainh2022 shrines. In your midsth8432 they have  acommittedh6213a actsh2154 of lewdnessh2154.

10

"In you  1they have  auncoveredh1540 their fathers'h1 nakednessh6172; in you they have humbledh6031a her whoh2931 was  buncleanh2931 in her menstrualh5079 impurityh5079.

11

"Oneh376 has committedh6213a abominationh8441 with his  aneighbor'sh7453 wifeh802 and anotherh376 has lewdlyh2154 defiledh2930 his  bdaughter-in-lawh3618. And anotherh376 in you has  chumbledh6031a his sisterh269, his father'sh1 daughterh1323.

12

"In you they have  atakenh3947 bribesh7810 to shedh8210 bloodh1818; you have takenh3947  binteresth5392 and profitsh8636, and you have injuredh1214 your neighborsh7453 for gainh1214 by  coppressionh6233, and you have  dforgottenh7911 Me," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.

13

"Beholdh2009, then, I smiteh5221 My handh3709 at your  adishonesth1215 gainh1215 whichh834 you have acquiredh6213a and at  1the bloodshedh1818 whichh834 is amongh8432 you.

14

"Can  ayour hearth3820 endureh5975, orh518 can your handsh3027 be strongh2388 in the daysh3117 that I will dealh6213a with you?  bI, the LORDh3068, have spokenh1696 and will acth6213a.

15

"I will  ascatterh6327a you among the nationsh1471 and I will disperseh2219 you through the landsh776, and I will  bconsumeh8552 your uncleannessh2932a from you.

16

"You will profaneh2490c yourself in the sighth5869 of the nationsh1471, and you will  aknowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068.""'

17

And the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

18

"Sonh1121 of manh120, the househ1004 of Israelh3478 has becomeh1961  adrossh5509 to Me; allh3605 of them are  bbronzeh5178 and tinh913 and ironh1270 and leadh5777 in the  cfurnaceh3564a; they are the drossh5509 of silverh3701.

19

"Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Becauseh3282 allh3605 of you have becomeh1961 drossh5509, thereforeh3651, beholdh2009, I am going to gatherh6908 you into the midsth8432 of Jerusalemh3389.

20

`As they gatherh6910 silverh3701 and bronzeh5178 and ironh1270 and leadh5777 and tinh913 into the  afurnaceh3564a to blowh5301 fireh784 on it in order to melth5413 it, soh3651 I will gatherh6908 you in My angerh639 and in My wrathh2534 and I will layh5117 you there and melth5413 you.

21

`I will gatherh3664 you and blowh5301 on you with the fireh784 of My wrathh5678, and you will be meltedh5413 in the midsth8432 of it.

22

`As silverh3701 is meltedh2046 in the furnaceh3564a, soh3651 you will be meltedh5413 in the midsth8432 of it; and you will knowh3045 that I, the LORDh3068, have  apouredh8210 out My wrathh2534 on you.' "

23

And the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

24

"Sonh1121 of manh120, sayh559 to her, `You are a landh776 that is  anot cleansedh2891 or rainedh1652 on in the dayh3117 of indignationh2195.'

25

"There is a  aconspiracyh7195 of her prophetsh5030 in her midsth8432 like a roaringh7580 lionh738 tearingh2963 the preyh2964. They have  bdevouredh398 livesh5315; they have takenh3947 treasureh2633 and precioush3366 thingsh3366; they have madeh7235a manyh7235a  cwidowsh490 in the midsth8432 of her.

26

"Her  apriestsh3548 have doneh2554 violenceh2554 to My lawh8451 and have  bprofanedh2490c My holyh6944 thingsh6944; they have madeh914 noh3808  cdistinctionh914 betweenh996 the holyh6944 and the profaneh2455, and they have not taughth3045 the difference betweenh996 the  duncleanh2931 and the cleanh2889; and they hideh5956 their eyesh5869 from My sabbathsh7676, and I am profanedh2490c amongh8432 them.

27

"Her princesh8269 withinh7130 her are like wolvesh2061 tearingh2963 the preyh2964, by sheddingh8210 bloodh1818 and  adestroyingh6 livesh5315 in orderh4616 to geth1214  bdishonesth1214 gainh1215.

28

"Her prophetsh5030 have smearedh2902 whitewashh8602b for them, seeingh2372  afalseh7723 visionsh7723 and diviningh7080 liesh3577 for them, sayingh559, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068,' when the LORDh3068 has not spokenh1696.

29

"The peopleh5971a of the landh776 have practicedh6231  aoppressionh6233 and committedh1497 robberyh1498, and they have wrongedh3238 the poorh6041 and needyh34 and have  boppressedh6231 the sojournerh1616 withouth3808 justiceh4941.

30

"I  asearchedh1245 for a manh376 amongh4480 them who would  bbuildh1443 up the wallh1447 and  cstandh5975 in the gaph6556 beforeh6440 Me for the landh776, soh1115 that I would not destroyh7843 it; but I foundh4672  1noh3808 one.

31

"Thus I have pouredh8210 out My  aindignationh2195 on them; I have consumedh3615 them with the fireh784 of My wrathh5678;  btheir wayh1870 I have broughth5414 upon their headsh7218," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.
