2 "Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? Yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations.

3 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.

5 Those that are near and those that are far from thee shall mock thee, who art infamous and much vexed.
