Sins of Jerusalem

1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
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.  
7 In you they have amade light of father and mother; in your midst they have boppressed the stranger; in you they have mistreated the1 fatherless and the widow.  
8 You have despised My holy things and aprofaned My Sabbaths.  
9 In you are amen who slander to cause bloodshed; bin you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.  
10 In you men auncover their fathers’ nakedness; in you they violate women who are bset apart during their impurity.  
11 One commits abomination awith his neighbor’s wife; banother lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; and another in you violates his sister, his father’s cdaughter.  
12 In you athey take bribes to shed blood; byou take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion, and chave forgotten Me,” says the Lord God.  
13 “Behold, therefore, I abeat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst.  
14 aCan your heart endure, or can your hands remain strong, in the days when I shall deal with you? bI, the Lord, have spoken, and will do it.
