4. You are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled from the idols you have made. You have brought your judgment days near and have come to your years of punishment. Therefore, I have made you a disgrace to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.
5. Those who are near and those far away from you will mock you, you infamous one full of turmoil.
6. “Look, every prince of Israel within you has used his strength to shed blood.
7. Father and mother are treated with contempt, and the foreign resident is exploited within you. The fatherless and widow are oppressed in you.
8. You despise My holy things and profane My Sabbaths.
9. There are men within you who slander in order to shed blood. People who live in you eat at the mountain shrines; they commit immoral acts within you.
10. Men within you have sexual intercourse with their father’s wife and violate women during their menstrual impurity.
11. One man within you commits a detestable act with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his father’s daughter.
12. People who live in you accept bribes in order to shed blood. You take interest and profit on a loan and brutally extort your neighbors. You have forgotten Me.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
13. “Now look, I clap My hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.
