1 And the word of Yahweh {came} to me, {saying},

2 "And you, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the {bloody city}? Then you must make known [to] her all of her detestable things!

3 And you must say, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh: "A city pouring out blood in the midst of her; {its time has come}, and it made idols for itself, becoming unclean.

4 By your blood that you poured out you have become guilty, and by your idols that you made you have become unclean, and you have brought your days near, {and your appointed years have come}. Therefore I have made you a disgrace for the nations and a laughingstock to all of the countries.

5 The [people] near and the [people] far from you will make fun of you, {the unclean and the terrified}.
