3
You shall say, Thus says the Lord GOD: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols to defile herself!
4
You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and defiled by the idols which you have made; and you have brought your day near, the appointed time of your years has come. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking 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.
6
"Behold, the princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood.
7
Father and mother are treated with contempt in you; the sojourner suffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow are wronged in you.
8
You have despised my holy things, and profaned my sabbaths.
9
There are men in you who slander to shed blood, and men in you who eat upon the mountains; men commit lewdness in your midst.
10
In you men uncover their fathers' nakedness; in you they humble women who are unclean in their impurity.
11
One commits abomination with his neighbor's wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; another in you defiles his sister, his father's daughter.
12
In you men take bribes to shed blood; you take interest and increase and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; and you have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
13
"Behold, therefore, I strike my hands together at the dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been in the midst of you.
