Ezekiel 22

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's Message came to me:

2 "Son of man, are you going to judge this bloody city or not? Come now, are you going to judge her? Do it! Face her with all her outrageous obscenities.

3 Tell her, 'This is what God, the Master, says: You're a city murderous at the core, just asking for punishment. You're a city obsessed with no-god idols, making yourself filthy.

4 In all your killing, you've piled up guilt. In all your idol-making, you've become filthy. You've forced a premature end to your existence. I'll put you on exhibit as the scarecrow of the nations, the world's worst joke.

5 From far and near they'll deride you as infamous in filth, notorious for chaos.

6 "'Your leaders, the princes of Israel among you, compete in crime.

7 You're a community that's insolent to parents, abusive to outsiders, oppressive against orphans and widows.

8 You treat my holy things with contempt and desecrate my Sabbaths.

9 You have people spreading lies and spilling blood, flocking to the hills to the sex shrines and fornicating unrestrained.

10 Incest is common. Men force themselves on women regardless of whether they're ready or willing.

11 Sex is now anarchy. Anyone is fair game: neighbor, daughter-in-law, sister.

12 Murder is for hire, usury is rampant, extortion is commonplace. "'And you've forgotten me. Decree of God, the Master.

13 "'Now look! I've clapped my hands, calling everyone's attention to your rapacious greed and your bloody brutalities.

14 Can you stick with it? Will you be able to keep at this once I start dealing with you?

15 I'll throw you to the four winds. I'll scatter you all over the world. I'll put a full stop to your filthy living.

16 You will be defiled, spattered with your own mud in the eyes of the nations. And you'll recognize that I am God.'"

17 God's Message came to me:

18 "Son of man, the people of Israel are slag to me, the useless byproduct of refined copper, tin, iron, and lead left at the smelter - a worthless slag heap.

19 So tell them, 'God, the Master, has spoken: Because you've all become worthless slag, you're on notice: I'll assemble you in Jerusalem.

20 As men gather silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into a furnace and blow fire on it to melt it down, so in my wrath I'll gather you and melt you down.

21 I'll blow on you with the fire of my wrath to melt you down in the furnace.

22 As silver is melted down, you'll be melted down. That should get through to you. Then you'll recognize that I, God, have let my wrath loose on you.'"

23 God's Message came to me:

24 "Son of man, tell her, 'You're a land that during the time I was angry with you got no rain, not so much as a spring shower.

25 The leaders among you became desperate, like roaring, ravaging lions killing indiscriminately. They grabbed and looted, leaving widows in their wake.

26 "'Your priests violated my law and desecrated my holy things. They can't tell the difference between sacred and secular. They tell people there's no difference between right and wrong. They're contemptuous of my holy Sabbaths, profaning me by trying to pull me down to their level.

27 Your politicians are like wolves prowling and killing and rapaciously taking whatever they want.

28 Your preachers cover up for the politicians by pretending to have received visions and special revelations. They say, "This is what God, the Master, says . . ." when God hasn't said so much as one word.

29 Extortion is rife, robbery is epidemic, the poor and needy are abused, outsiders are kicked around at will, with no access to justice.'

30 "I looked for someone to stand up for me against all this, to repair the defenses of the city, to take a stand for me and stand in the gap to protect this land so I wouldn't have to destroy it. I couldn't find anyone. Not one.

31 So I'll empty out my wrath on them, burn them to a crisp with my hot anger, serve them with the consequences of all they've done. Decree of God, the Master."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

2 et tu fili hominis num iudicas num iudicas civitatem sanguinum

3 et ostendes ei omnes abominationes suas et dices haec dicit Dominus Deus civitas effundens sanguinem in medio sui ut veniat tempus eius et quae fecit idola contra semet ipsam ut pollueretur

4 in sanguine tuo qui a te effusus est deliquisti et in idolis tuis quae fecisti polluta es et adpropinquare fecisti dies tuos et adduxisti tempus annorum tuorum propterea dedi te obprobrium gentibus et inrisionem universis terris

5 quae iuxta sunt et quae procul a te triumphabunt de te sordida nobilis grandis interitu

6 ecce principes Israhel singuli in brachio suo fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem

7 patrem et matrem contumeliis adfecerunt in te advenam calumniati sunt in medio tui pupillum et viduam contristaverunt apud te

8 sanctuaria mea sprevistis et sabbata mea polluistis

9 viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem et super montes comederunt in te scelus operati sunt in medio tui

10 verecundiora patris discoperuerunt in te inmunditiam menstruatae humiliaverunt in te

11 et unusquisque in uxorem proximi sui operatus est abominationem et socer nurum suam polluit nefarie frater sororem suam filiam patris sui oppressit in te

12 munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem usuram et superabundantiam accepisti et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris meique oblita es ait Dominus Deus

13 ecce conplosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam quam fecisti et super sanguinem qui effusus est in medio tui

14 numquid sustinebit cor tuum aut praevalebunt manus tuae in diebus quos ego faciam tibi ego Dominus locutus sum et faciam

15 et dispergam te in nationes et ventilabo te in terras et deficere faciam inmunditiam tuam a te

16 et possidebo te in conspectu gentium et scies quia ego Dominus

17 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

18 fili hominis versa est mihi domus Israhel in scoriam omnes isti aes et stagnum et ferrum et plumbum in medio fornacis scoria argenti facti sunt

19 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus eo quod versi estis omnes in scoriam propterea ecce ego congregabo vos in medium Hierusalem

20 congregatione argenti et aeris et ferri et stagni et plumbi in medium fornacis ut succendam in eam ignem ad conflandum sic congregabo in furore meo et in ira mea et requiescam et conflabo vos

21 et congregabo vos et succendam vos in igne furoris mei et conflabimini in medio eius

22 ut conflatur argentum in medio fornacis sic eritis in medio eius et scietis quia ego Dominus effuderim indignationem meam super vos

23 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

24 fili hominis dic ei tu es terra inmunda et non conpluta in die furoris

25 coniuratio prophetarum in medio eius sicut leo rugiens capiensque praedam animam devoraverunt opes et pretium acceperunt viduas eius multiplicaverunt in medio illius

26 sacerdotes eius contempserunt legem meam et polluerunt sanctuaria mea inter sanctum et profanum non habuere distantiam et inter pollutum et mundum non intellexerunt et a sabbatis meis averterunt oculos suos et coinquinabar in medio eorum

27 principes eius in medio illius quasi lupi rapientes praedam ad effundendum sanguinem et perdendas animas et avare sectanda lucra

28 prophetae autem eius liniebant eos absque temperamento videntes vana et divinantes eis mendacium dicentes haec dicit Dominus Deus cum Dominus non sit locutus

29 populi terrae calumniabantur calumniam et rapiebant violenter egenum et pauperem adfligebant et advenam opprimebant calumnia absque iudicio

30 et quaesivi de eis virum qui interponeret sepem et staret oppositus contra me pro terra ne dissiparem eam et non inveni

31 et effudi super eos indignationem meam in igne irae meae consumpsi eos viam eorum in caput eorum reddidi ait Dominus Deus
