Ezekiel 22:1 In-Context

1 The word of the Lord came to me:

2 You, mortal, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then declare to it all its abominable deeds.

3 You shall say, Thus says the Lord God: A city! Shedding blood within itself; its time has come; making its idols, defiling itself.

4 You have become guilty by the blood that you have shed, and defiled by the idols that you have made; you have brought your day near, the appointed time of your years has come. Therefore I have made you a disgrace before the nations, and a mockery to all the countries.

5 Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
