1 Moreover the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559,
2 Now, thou son 1121 of man 120, wilt thou judge 8199, wilt thou judge 8199 the bloody 1818 city 5892? yea, thou shalt shew 3045 her all her abominations 8441.
3 Then say 559 thou, Thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, The city 5892 sheddeth 8210 blood 1818 in the midst 8432 of it, that her time 6256 may come 935, and maketh 6213 idols 1544 against herself to defile 2930 herself.
4 Thou art become guilty 816 in thy blood 1818 that thou hast shed 8210; and hast defiled 2930 thyself in thine idols 1544 which thou hast made 6213; and thou hast caused thy days 3117 to draw near 7126, and art come 935 even unto thy years 8141: therefore have I made 5414 thee a reproach 2781 unto the heathen 1471, and a mocking 7048 to all countries 776.
5 Those that be near 7138, and those that be far 7350 from thee, shall mock 7046 thee, which art infamous 2931 8034 and much 7227 vexed 4103.
6 Behold, the princes 5387 of Israel 3478, every one 376 were in thee to their power 2220 to shed 8210 blood 1818.
7 In thee have they set light 7043 by father 1 and mother 517: in the midst 8432 of thee have they dealt 6213 by oppression 6233 with the stranger 1616: in thee have they vexed 3238 the fatherless 3490 and the widow 490.
8 Thou hast despised 959 mine holy things 6944, and hast profaned 2490 my sabbaths 7676.
9 In thee are men 582 that carry tales 7400 to shed 8210 blood 1818: and in thee they eat 398 upon the mountains 2022: in the midst 8432 of thee they commit 6213 lewdness 2154.
10 In thee have they discovered 1540 their fathers 1' nakedness 6172: in thee have they humbled 6031 her that was set apart 5079 for pollution 2931.
11 And one 376 hath committed 6213 abomination 8441 with his neighbour's 7453 wife 802; and another 376 hath lewdly 2154 defiled 2930 his daughter in law 3618; and another 376 in thee hath humbled 6031 his sister 269, his father's 1 daughter 1323.
12 In thee have they taken 3947 gifts 7810 to shed 8210 blood 1818; thou hast taken 3947 usury 5392 and increase 8636, and thou hast greedily gained 1214 of thy neighbours 7453 by extortion 6233, and hast forgotten 7911 me, saith 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.
13 Behold, therefore I have smitten 5221 mine hand 3709 at thy dishonest gain 1215 which thou hast made 6213, and at thy blood 1818 which hath been in the midst 8432 of thee.
14 Can thine heart 3820 endure 5975, or can thine hands 3027 be strong 2388, in the days 3117 that I shall deal 6213 with thee? I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696 it, and will do 6213 it.
15 And I will scatter 6327 thee among the heathen 1471, and disperse 2219 thee in the countries 776, and will consume 8552 thy filthiness 2932 out of thee.
16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance 2490 5157 in thyself in the sight 5869 of the heathen 1471, and thou shalt know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
17 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559,
18 Son 1121 of man 120, the house 1004 of Israel 3478 is to me become dross 5509: all they are brass 5178, and tin 913, and iron 1270, and lead 5777, in the midst 8432 of the furnace 3564; they are even the dross 5509 of silver 3701.
19 Therefore thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Because ye are all become dross 5509, behold, therefore I will gather 6908 you into the midst 8432 of Jerusalem 3389.
20 As they gather 6910 silver 3701, and brass 5178, and iron 1270, and lead 5777, and tin 913, into the midst 8432 of the furnace 3564, to blow 5301 the fire 784 upon it, to melt 5413 it; so will I gather 6908 you in mine anger 639 and in my fury 2534, and I will leave 3240 you there, and melt 5413 you.
21 Yea, I will gather 3664 you, and blow 5301 upon you in the fire 784 of my wrath 5678, and ye shall be melted 5413 in the midst 8432 thereof.
22 As silver 3701 is melted 2046 in the midst 8432 of the furnace 3564, so shall ye be melted 5413 in the midst 8432 thereof; and ye shall know 3045 that I the LORD 3068 have poured out 8210 my fury 2534 upon you.
23 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559,
24 Son 1121 of man 120, say 559 unto her, Thou art the land 776 that is not cleansed 2891, nor rained 1656 upon in the day 3117 of indignation 2195.
25 There is a conspiracy 7195 of her prophets 5030 in the midst 8432 thereof, like a roaring 7580 lion 738 ravening 2963 the prey 2964; they have devoured 398 souls 5315; they have taken 3947 the treasure 2633 and precious things 3366; they have made her many 7235 widows 490 in the midst 8432 thereof.
26 Her priests 3548 have violated 2554 my law 8451, and have profaned 2490 mine holy things 6944: they have put no difference 914 between the holy 6944 and profane 2455, neither have they shewed 3045 difference between the unclean 2931 and the clean 2889, and have hid 5956 their eyes 5869 from my sabbaths 7676, and I am profaned 2490 among 8432 them.
27 Her princes 8269 in the midst 7130 thereof are like wolves 2061 ravening 2963 the prey 2964, to shed 8210 blood 1818, and to destroy 6 souls 5315, to get 1214 dishonest gain 1215.
28 And her prophets 5030 have daubed 2902 them with untempered 8602 morter, seeing 2374 vanity 7723, and divining 7080 lies 3577 unto them, saying 559, Thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, when the LORD 3068 hath not spoken 1696.
29 The people 5971 of the land 776 have used oppression 6231 6233, and exercised 1497 robbery 1498, and have vexed 3238 the poor 6041 and needy 34: yea, they have oppressed 6231 the stranger 1616 wrongfully 4941.
30 And I sought 1245 for a man 376 among them, that should make up 1443 the hedge 1447, and stand 5975 in the gap 6556 before 6440 me for the land 776, that I should not destroy 7843 it: but I found 4672 none.
31 Therefore have I poured out 8210 mine indignation 2195 upon them; I have consumed 3615 them with the fire 784 of my wrath 5678: their own way 1870 have I recompensed 5414 upon their heads 7218, saith 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.
