Ezekiel 22:5-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. Those near and those far away will laugh at you. You will have a bad name. You will be full of confusion.

6. “‘Jerusalem, see how each ruler of Israel in you has been trying to kill people.

7. The people in you hate their fathers and mothers. They mistreat the foreigners in you. They wrong the orphans and widows in you.

8. You hate my holy things. You dishonor my Sabbaths.

9. The men in you tell lies to cause the death of others. The people in you eat food offered to idols at the mountain places of worship. They do sexual sins in you.

10. The people in you sin sexually with their fathers’ wives. The men in you have physical relations with women who are unclean, during their time of monthly bleeding.

11. One person in you does a hated act with his neighbor’s wife. Another has shamefully violated his daughter-in-law. And another rapes his half sister.
