4 You are guilty of spilling blood. The statues you have made have polluted you. " ' "You have brought your days to a close. The end of your years has come. So the nations will make fun of you. All of the countries will laugh at you.

5 Those who are near you will tell jokes about you. So will those who are far away. Trouble fills the streets of your sinful city.
