Ezekiel 22
Geneva Bible 1599
1Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2Now thou sonne of man, wilt thou iudge, wilt thou iudge this bloody citie? wilt thou shew her all her abominations?
3Then say, Thus sayth the Lord God, The citie sheddeth blood in the middes of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against her selfe to pollute her selfe.
4Thou hast offended in thy blood, that thou hast shed, and hast polluted thy selfe in thine idols, which thou hast made, and thou hast caused thy dayes to draw neere, and art come vnto thy terme: therefore haue I made thee a reproch to the heathen, and a mocking to all countreys.
5Those that be neere, and those that be farre from thee, shall mocke thee, which art vile in name and sore in affliction.
6Beholde, the princes of Israel euery one in thee was ready to his power, to shed blood.
7In thee haue they despised father and mother: in the middes of thee haue they oppressed the stranger: in thee haue they vexed the fatherlesse and the widowe.
8Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast polluted my Sabbaths.
9In thee are men that cary tales to shed blood: in thee are they that eate vpon the mountaines: in ye mids of thee they comit abomination.
10In thee haue they discouered their fathers shame: in thee haue they vexed her that was polluted in her floures.
11And euery one hath committed abomination with his neighbours wife, and euery one hath wickedly defiled his daughter in lawe, and in thee hath euery man forced his owne sister, euen his fathers daughter.
