rsv Ezekiel:22:3-12
rsv@Ezekiel:22:3 @ You shall say, Thus says the Lord GOD: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols to defile herself!
rsv@Ezekiel:22:4 @ You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and defiled by the idols which you have made; and you have brought your day near, the appointed time of your years has come. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:5 @ Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:6 @ "Behold, the princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:7 @ Father and mother are treated with contempt in you; the sojourner suffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow are wronged in you.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:8 @ You have despised my holy things, and profaned my sabbaths.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:9 @ There are men in you who slander to shed blood, and men in you who eat upon the mountains; men commit lewdness in your midst.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:10 @ In you men uncover their fathers' nakedness; in you they humble women who are unclean in their impurity.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:11 @ One commits abomination with his neighbor's wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; another in you defiles his sister, his father's daughter.
rsv@Ezekiel:22:12 @ In you men take bribes to shed blood; you take interest and increase and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; and you have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
