Ezekiel 22

22 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 2 “And you, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the city of bloodshed? Then make her know all her abominations. 3 And you will say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A city pouring out blood in her midst, for her time to come, and she has made idols against herself, to become unclean. 4 By your blood that you have poured out you have become guilty, and by your idols that you have made you have become unclean. And you have brought your days near, and you have come to your years. Therefore I have given you, as a reproach to the nations and as a mockery to all the lands. 5 The ones near and the ones far from you will mock you, unclean of name, great of tumult.

6 Behold, the leaders of Israel, each man to his arm, have been in you for the sake of pouring out blood. 7 Father and mother they have made light of in you; to the foreigner they have acted with oppression in your midst; the fatherless and the widow they have mistreated in you. 8 My holy things you have despised, and my Sabbaths you have profaned. 9 Men of slander have been in you for the sake of pouring out blood; and on the mountains they have eaten in you; depravity they have done in your midst. 10 The nakedness of a father he has uncovered in you; the unclean one of menstruation they have violated in you. 11 And a man has done an abomination with the wife of his neighbor; and a man has defiled his daughter-in-law with depravity; and a man has violated his sister, the daughter of his father, in you. 12 A bribe they have taken in you for the sake of pouring out blood. Interest and increase you have taken, and you have made gain, from your neighbors with oppression. And me you have forgotten— the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.

13 And behold, I have struck my palm at your gain that you have made and at your blood that has been in your midst. 14 Will your heart stand, or will your hands be strong, for the days in which I am dealing with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken, and I will do it. 15 And I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you among the lands, and I will bring your uncleanness to an end from you. 16 And you will be profaned in yourself before the eyes of the nations. And you will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”

17 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become to me as dross. All of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead in the midst of a furnace; dross of silver they have become. 19 Therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because all of you have become as dross, therefore, behold, I am gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20 As a gathering of silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it— thus I will gather, you in my nose and in my fury, and I will set you down and melt you. 21 And I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in her midst. 22 Like the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, thus you will be melted in her midst. And you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my fury on you.’ ”

23 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 24 “Son of man, say to her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed; her rain is not in the day of indignation. 25 A conspiracy of her prophets is in her midst, like a lion roaring, tearing prey. A soul they have eaten; treasure and precious thing they take; her widows they have multiplied in her midst. 26 Her priests have done violence to my law, and they have profaned my holy things. Between holy and common they have not separated, and between the unclean and the clean they have not made known, and from my Sabbaths they have hidden their eyes; and I was profaned in their midst. 27 Her princes within her are like wolves tearing prey, to pour out blood, to destroy souls, for the sake of gaining gain. 28 And her prophets have plastered for them, with whitewash, ones seeing emptiness and ones divining a lie for them, saying, “Thus says the Lord Yahweh,” but Yahweh has not spoken. 29 The people of the land have oppressed an oppression and robbed a robbery, and the poor and the needy they have mistreated, and the foreigner they have oppressed without justice. 30 And I sought from them a man walling up a wall and standing in the breach to my face on behalf of the land, so that I would not destroy her; but I did not find one. 31 So I have poured out my indignation on them; with the fire of my wrath I have consumed them. Their way on their head I have given— the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
