1 # Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Now, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, wilt thou judge <08199> (8799), wilt thou judge <08199> (8799) the bloody <01818> city <05892>? yea, thou shalt shew <03045> (8689) her all her abominations <08441>.
3 Then say <0559> (8804) thou, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, The city <05892> sheddeth <08210> (8802) blood <01818> in the midst <08432> of it, that her time <06256> may come <0935> (8800) , and maketh <06213> (8804) idols <01544> against herself to defile <02930> (8800) herself.
4 Thou art become guilty <0816> (8804) in thy blood <01818> that thou hast shed <08210> (8804); and hast defiled <02930> (8804) thyself in thine idols <01544> which thou hast made <06213> (8804); and thou hast caused thy days <03117> to draw near <07126> (8686), and art come <0935> (8799) even unto thy years <08141>: therefore have I made <05414> (8804) thee a reproach <02781> unto the heathen <01471>, and a mocking <07048> to all countries <0776>.
5 Those that be near <07138>, and those that be far <07350> from thee, shall mock <07046> (8691) thee, which art infamous <02931> <08034> and much <07227> vexed <04103>.
6 Behold, the princes <05387> of Israel <03478>, every one <0376> were in thee to their power <02220> to shed <08210> (8800) blood <01818>.
7 In thee have they set light <07043> (8689) by father <01> and mother <0517>: in the midst <08432> of thee have they dealt <06213> (8804) by oppression <06233> with the stranger <01616>: in thee have they vexed <03238> (8689) the fatherless <03490> and the widow <0490>.
8 Thou hast despised <0959> (8804) mine holy things <06944>, and hast profaned <02490> (8765) my sabbaths <07676>.
9 In thee are men <0582> that carry tales <07400> to shed <08210> (8800) blood <01818>: and in thee they eat <0398> (8804) upon the mountains <02022>: in the midst <08432> of thee they commit <06213> (8804) lewdness <02154>.
10 In thee have they discovered <01540> (8765) their fathers <01>' nakedness <06172>: in thee have they humbled <06031> (8765) her that was set apart <05079> for pollution <02931>.
11 And one <0376> hath committed <06213> (8804) abomination <08441> with his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802> ; and another <0376> hath lewdly <02154> defiled <02930> (8765) his daughter in law <03618>; and another <0376> in thee hath humbled <06031> (8765) his sister <0269>, his father's <01> daughter <01323>.
12 In thee have they taken <03947> (8804) gifts <07810> to shed <08210> (8800) blood <01818>; thou hast taken <03947> (8804) usury <05392> and increase <08636>, and thou hast greedily gained <01214> (8762) of thy neighbours <07453> by extortion <06233>, and hast forgotten <07911> (8804) me, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
13 Behold, therefore I have smitten <05221> (8689) mine hand <03709> at thy dishonest gain <01215> which thou hast made <06213> (8804), and at thy blood <01818> which hath been in the midst <08432> of thee.
14 Can thine heart <03820> endure <05975> (8799), or can thine hands <03027> be strong <02388> (8799) , in the days <03117> that I shall deal <06213> (8802) with thee? I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) it, and will do <06213> (8804) it.
15 And I will scatter <06327> (8689) thee among the heathen <01471>, and disperse <02219> (8765) thee in the countries <0776>, and will consume <08552> (8689) thy filthiness <02932> out of thee.
16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance <02490> (8738) (8676) <05157> (8765) in thyself in the sight <05869> of the heathen <01471>, and thou shalt know <03045> (8804) that I am the LORD <03068>.
17 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, the house <01004> of Israel <03478> is to me become dross <05509>: all they are brass <05178>, and tin <0913>, and iron <01270>, and lead <05777>, in the midst <08432> of the furnace <03564>; they are even the dross <05509> of silver <03701>.
19 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because ye are all become dross <05509>, behold, therefore I will gather <06908> (8802) you into the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>.
20 As they gather <06910> silver <03701>, and brass <05178>, and iron <01270>, and lead <05777>, and tin <0913>, into the midst <08432> of the furnace <03564>, to blow <05301> (8800) the fire <0784> upon it, to melt <05413> (8687) it; so will I gather <06908> (8799) you in mine anger <0639> and in my fury <02534>, and I will leave <03240> (8689) you there, and melt <05413> (8689) you.
21 Yea, I will gather <03664> (8765) you, and blow <05301> (8804) upon you in the fire <0784> of my wrath <05678>, and ye shall be melted <05413> (8738) in the midst <08432> thereof.
22 As silver <03701> is melted <02046> in the midst <08432> of the furnace <03564>, so shall ye be melted <05413> (8714) in the midst <08432> thereof; and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> have poured out <08210> (8804) my fury <02534> upon you.
23 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
24 Son <01121> of man <0120>, say <0559> (8798) unto her, Thou art the land <0776> that is not cleansed <02891> (8794), nor rained <01656> upon in the day <03117> of indignation <02195>.
25 There is a conspiracy <07195> of her prophets <05030> in the midst <08432> thereof, like a roaring <07580> (8802) lion <0738> ravening <02963> (8802) the prey <02964>; they have devoured <0398> (8804) souls <05315> ; they have taken <03947> (8799) the treasure <02633> and precious things <03366>; they have made her many <07235> (8689) widows <0490> in the midst <08432> thereof.
26 Her priests <03548> have violated <02554> (8804) my law <08451>, and have profaned <02490> (8762) mine holy things <06944>: they have put no difference <0914> (8689) between the holy <06944> and profane <02455>, neither have they shewed <03045> (8689) difference between the unclean <02931> and the clean <02889>, and have hid <05956> (8689) their eyes <05869> from my sabbaths <07676>, and I am profaned <02490> (8735) among <08432> them.
27 Her princes <08269> in the midst <07130> thereof are like wolves <02061> ravening <02963> (8802) the prey <02964>, to shed <08210> (8800) blood <01818>, and to destroy <06> (8763) souls <05315>, to get <01214> (8800) dishonest gain <01215>.
28 And her prophets <05030> have daubed <02902> (8804) them with untempered <08602> morter, seeing <02374> vanity <07723>, and divining <07080> (8802) lies <03577> unto them, saying <0559> (8802), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, when the LORD <03068> hath not spoken <01696> (8765).
29 The people <05971> of the land <0776> have used oppression <06231> (8804) <06233>, and exercised <01497> (8804) robbery <01498>, and have vexed <03238> (8689) the poor <06041> and needy <034>: yea, they have oppressed <06231> (8804) the stranger <01616> wrongfully <04941>.
30 And I sought <01245> (8762) for a man <0376> among them, that should make up <01443> (8802) the hedge <01447>, and stand <05975> (8802) in the gap <06556> before <06440> me for the land <0776>, that I should not destroy <07843> (8763) it: but I found <04672> (8804) none.
31 Therefore have I poured out <08210> (8799) mine indignation <02195> upon them; I have consumed <03615> (8765) them with the fire <0784> of my wrath <05678>: their own way <01870> have I recompensed <05414> (8804) upon their heads <07218> , saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
