Ezekiel 22:4-9 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

4. “You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. Thus you have brought your days near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I shall make you a reproach to the gentiles, and a mockery to all lands.

5. “Those near and those far from you mock you – defiled is your name and great the confusion!

6. “See the leaders of Yisra’ĕl: each one has used his arm to shed blood in you.

7. “They have despised father and mother within you. They have oppressed the stranger in your midst. They have wronged the fatherless and the widow within you.

8. “You have despised that which is set-apart to Me, and you have profaned My Sabbaths.

9. “Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. And in you are those who eat on the mountains. They have done wickedness in your midst.
