*
Now ,
thou son of man ,
wilt thou judge ,
wilt thou judge the bloody city ?
yea ,
thou shalt shew her all her abominations .
*
Then say thou ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ,
The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it ,
that her time may come ,
and maketh idols against herself to defile herself .
*
Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed ;
and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made ;
and thou hast caused thy days to draw near ,
and art come even unto thy years :
therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen ,
and a mocking to all countries .
*
Those that be near ,
and those that be far from thee ,
shall mock thee ,
which art infamous and much vexed .
*
Behold ,
the princes of Israel ,
every one were in thee to their power to shed blood .
*
In thee have they set light by father and mother :
in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger :
in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow .
*
Thou hast despised mine holy things ,
and hast profaned my sabbaths .
*
In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood :
and in thee they eat upon the mountains :
in the midst of thee they commit lewdness .
*
In thee have they discovered their fathers '
nakedness :
in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution .
*
And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour '
s wife ;
and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law ;
and another in thee hath humbled his sister ,
his father '
s daughter .
*
In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood ;
thou hast taken usury and increase ,
and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion ,
and hast forgotten me ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Behold ,
therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made ,
and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee .
*
Can thine heart endure ,
or can thine hands be strong ,
in the days that I shall deal with thee ?
I the LORD have spoken it ,
and will do it .
*
And I will scatter thee among the heathen ,
and disperse thee in the countries ,
and will consume thy filthiness out of thee .
*
And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen ,
and thou shalt know that I am the LORD .
