Ezekiel 22:1-31

Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Now, thou son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)_,
wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)
the bloody
<01818>
city
<05892>_?
yea, thou shalt shew
<03045> (8689)
her all her abominations
<08441>_.
{judge: or, plead for} {bloody...: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}
Then say
<0559> (8804)
thou, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
The city
<05892>
sheddeth
<08210> (8802)
blood
<01818>
in the midst
<08432>
of it, that her time
<06256>
may come
<0935> (8800)_,
and maketh
<06213> (8804)
idols
<01544>
against herself to defile
<02930> (8800)
herself.
Thou art become guilty
<0816> (8804)
in thy blood
<01818>
that thou hast shed
<08210> (8804)_;
and hast defiled
<02930> (8804)
thyself in thine idols
<01544>
which thou hast made
<06213> (8804)_;
and thou hast caused thy days
<03117>
to draw near
<07126> (8686)_,
and art come
<0935> (8799)
[even] unto thy years
<08141>_:
therefore have I made
<05414> (8804)
thee a reproach
<02781>
unto the heathen
<01471>_,
and a mocking
<07048>
to all countries
<0776>_.
[Those that be] near
<07138>_,
and [those that be] far
<07350>
from thee, shall mock
<07046> (8691)
thee, [which art] infamous
<02931> <08034>
[and] much
<07227>
vexed
<04103>_.
{infamous...: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation}
Behold, the princes
<05387>
of Israel
<03478>_,
every one
<0376>
were in thee to their power
<02220>
to shed
<08210> (8800)
blood
<01818>_.
{power: Heb. arm}
In thee have they set light
<07043> (8689)
by father
<01>
and mother
<0517>_:
in the midst
<08432>
of thee have they dealt
<06213> (8804)
by oppression
<06233>
with the stranger
<01616>_:
in thee have they vexed
<03238> (8689)
the fatherless
<03490>
and the widow
<0490>_.
{oppression: or, deceit}
Thou hast despised
<0959> (8804)
mine holy things
<06944>_,
and hast profaned
<02490> (8765)
my sabbaths
<07676>_.
In thee are men
<0582>
that carry tales
<07400>
to shed
<08210> (8800)
blood
<01818>_:
and in thee they eat
<0398> (8804)
upon the mountains
<02022>_:
in the midst
<08432>
of thee they commit
<06213> (8804)
lewdness
<02154>_.
{that...: Heb. of slanders}
In thee have they discovered
<01540> (8765)
their fathers
<01>_'
nakedness
<06172>_:
in thee have they humbled
<06031> (8765)
her that was set apart
<05079>
for pollution
<02931>_.
And one
<0376>
hath committed
<06213> (8804)
abomination
<08441>
with his neighbour's
<07453>
wife
<0802>_;
and another
<0376>
hath lewdly
<02154>
defiled
<02930> (8765)
his daughter in law
<03618>_;
and another
<0376>
in thee hath humbled
<06031> (8765)
his sister
<0269>_,
his father's
<01>
daughter
<01323>_.
{one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}
In thee have they taken
<03947> (8804)
gifts
<07810>
to shed
<08210> (8800)
blood
<01818>_;
thou hast taken
<03947> (8804)
usury
<05392>
and increase
<08636>_,
and thou hast greedily gained
<01214> (8762)
of thy neighbours
<07453>
by extortion
<06233>_,
and hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Behold, therefore I have smitten
<05221> (8689)
mine hand
<03709>
at thy dishonest gain
<01215>
which thou hast made
<06213> (8804)_,
and at thy blood
<01818>
which hath been in the midst
<08432>
of thee.
Can thine heart
<03820>
endure
<05975> (8799)_,
or can thine hands
<03027>
be strong
<02388> (8799)_,
in the days
<03117>
that I shall deal
<06213> (8802)
with thee? I the LORD
<03068>
have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it], and will do
<06213> (8804)
[it].
And I will scatter
<06327> (8689)
thee among the heathen
<01471>_,
and disperse
<02219> (8765)
thee in the countries
<0776>_,
and will consume
<08552> (8689)
thy filthiness
<02932>
out of thee.
And thou shalt take thine inheritance
<02490> (8738) (8676) <05157> (8765)
in thyself in the sight
<05869>
of the heathen
<01471>_,
and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
{shalt take...: or, shalt be profaned}
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
is to me become dross
<05509>_:
all they [are] brass
<05178>_,
and tin
<0913>_,
and iron
<01270>_,
and lead
<05777>_,
in the midst
<08432>
of the furnace
<03564>_;
they are [even] the dross
<05509>
of silver
<03701>_.
{dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because ye are all become dross
<05509>_,
behold, therefore I will gather
<06908> (8802)
you into the midst
<08432>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
[As] they gather
<06910>
silver
<03701>_,
and brass
<05178>_,
and iron
<01270>_,
and lead
<05777>_,
and tin
<0913>_,
into the midst
<08432>
of the furnace
<03564>_,
to blow
<05301> (8800)
the fire
<0784>
upon it, to melt
<05413> (8687)
[it]; so will I gather
<06908> (8799)
[you] in mine anger
<0639>
and in my fury
<02534>_,
and I will leave
<03240> (8689)
[you there], and melt
<05413> (8689)
you. {As...: Heb. According to the gathering}
Yea, I will gather
<03664> (8765)
you, and blow
<05301> (8804)
upon you in the fire
<0784>
of my wrath
<05678>_,
and ye shall be melted
<05413> (8738)
in the midst
<08432>
thereof.
As silver
<03701>
is melted
<02046>
in the midst
<08432>
of the furnace
<03564>_,
so shall ye be melted
<05413> (8714)
in the midst
<08432>
thereof; and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I the LORD
<03068>
have poured out
<08210> (8804)
my fury
<02534>
upon you.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
say
<0559> (8798)
unto her, Thou [art] the land
<0776>
that is not cleansed
<02891> (8794)_,
nor rained
<01656>
upon in the day
<03117>
of indignation
<02195>_.
[There is] a conspiracy
<07195>
of her prophets
<05030>
in the midst
<08432>
thereof, like a roaring
<07580> (8802)
lion
<0738>
ravening
<02963> (8802)
the prey
<02964>_;
they have devoured
<0398> (8804)
souls
<05315>_;
they have taken
<03947> (8799)
the treasure
<02633>
and precious things
<03366>_;
they have made her many
<07235> (8689)
widows
<0490>
in the midst
<08432>
thereof.
Her priests
<03548>
have violated
<02554> (8804)
my law
<08451>_,
and have profaned
<02490> (8762)
mine holy things
<06944>_:
they have put no difference
<0914> (8689)
between the holy
<06944>
and profane
<02455>_,
neither have they shewed
<03045> (8689)
[difference] between the unclean
<02931>
and the clean
<02889>_,
and have hid
<05956> (8689)
their eyes
<05869>
from my sabbaths
<07676>_,
and I am profaned
<02490> (8735)
among
<08432>
them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Her princes
<08269>
in the midst
<07130>
thereof [are] like wolves
<02061>
ravening
<02963> (8802)
the prey
<02964>_,
to shed
<08210> (8800)
blood
<01818>_,
[and] to destroy
<06> (8763)
souls
<05315>_,
to get
<01214> (8800)
dishonest gain
<01215>_.
And her prophets
<05030>
have daubed
<02902> (8804)
them with untempered
<08602>
[morter], seeing
<02374>
vanity
<07723>_,
and divining
<07080> (8802)
lies
<03577>
unto them, saying
<0559> (8802)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
when the LORD
<03068>
hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
The people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
have used oppression
<06231> (8804) <06233>_,
and exercised
<01497> (8804)
robbery
<01498>_,
and have vexed
<03238> (8689)
the poor
<06041>
and needy
<034>_:
yea, they have oppressed
<06231> (8804)
the stranger
<01616>
wrongfully
<04941>_.
{oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}
And I sought
<01245> (8762)
for a man
<0376>
among them, that should make up
<01443> (8802)
the hedge
<01447>_,
and stand
<05975> (8802)
in the gap
<06556>
before
<06440>
me for the land
<0776>_,
that I should not destroy
<07843> (8763)
it: but I found
<04672> (8804)
none.
Therefore have I poured out
<08210> (8799)
mine indignation
<02195>
upon them; I have consumed
<03615> (8765)
them with the fire
<0784>
of my wrath
<05678>_:
their own way
<01870>
have I recompensed
<05414> (8804)
upon their heads
<07218>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
