Ezekiel 22:4 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 22:4

2 “Now, son of man, ^awill you judge, will you judge ^bthe bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations!

3 Then say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The city sheds ^ablood in her own midst, that her time may come; and she makes idols within herself to defile herself.

4 You have become guilty by the blood which you have ^ashed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years; ^btherefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all countries.

5 Those near and those far from you will mock you as¹ infamous and full of tumult.

6 “Look, ^athe princes of Israel: each one has used his¹ power to shed blood in you.
