Ezekiel 22 (kjv)

Moreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,²Now, thou son^H1121 of man^H120, wilt thou judge^H8199, wilt thou judge^H8199 the bloody^H1818 city^H5892? yea, thou shalt shew^H3045 her all her abominations^H8441.³Then say^H559 thou, Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, The city^H5892 sheddeth^H8210 blood^H1818 in the midst^H8432 of it, that her time^H6256 may come^H935, and maketh^H6213 idols^H1544 against herself to defile^H2930 herself.⁴Thou art become guilty^H816 in thy blood^H1818 that thou hast shed^H8210; and hast defiled^H2930 thyself in thine idols^H1544 which thou hast made^H6213; and thou hast caused thy days^H3117 to draw near^H7126, and art come^H935 even unto thy years^H8141: therefore have I made^H5414 thee a reproach^H2781 unto the heathen^H1471, and a mocking^H7048 to all countries^H776.⁵Those that be near^H7138, and those that be far^H7350 from thee, shall mock^H7046 thee, which art infamous^{H2931 H8034} and much^H7227 vexed^H4103.⁶Behold, the princes^H5387 of Israel^H3478, every one^H376 were in thee to their power^H2220 to shed^H8210 blood^H1818.⁷In thee have they set light^H7043 by father^H1 and mother^H517: in the midst^H8432 of thee have they dealt^H6213 by oppression^H6233 with the stranger^H1616: in thee have they vexed^H3238 the fatherless^H3490 and the widow^H490.⁸Thou hast despised^H959 mine holy things^H6944, and hast profaned^H2490 my sabbaths^H7676.⁹In thee are men^H582 that carry tales^H7400 to shed^H8210 blood^H1818: and in thee they eat^H398 upon the mountains^H2022: in the midst^H8432 of thee they commit^H6213 lewdness^H2154.¹⁰In thee have they discovered^H1540 their fathers^H1' nakedness^H6172: in thee have they humbled^H6031 her that was set apart^H5079 for pollution^H2931.¹¹And one^H376 hath committed^H6213 abomination^H8441 with his neighbour's^H7453 wife^H802; and another^H376 hath lewdly^H2154 defiled^H2930 his daughter in law^H3618; and another^H376 in thee hath humbled^H6031 his sister^H269, his father's^H1 daughter^H1323.¹²In thee have they taken^H3947 gifts^H7810 to shed^H8210 blood^H1818; thou hast taken^H3947 usury^H5392 and increase^H8636, and thou hast greedily gained^H1214 of thy neighbours^H7453 by extortion^H6233, and hast forgotten^H7911 me, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.¹³Behold, therefore I have smitten^H5221 mine hand^H3709 at thy dishonest gain^H1215 which thou hast made^H6213, and at thy blood^H1818 which hath been in the midst^H8432 of thee.¹⁴Can thine heart^H3820 endure^H5975, or can thine hands^H3027 be strong^H2388, in the days^H3117 that I shall deal^H6213 with thee? I the LORD^H3068 have spoken^H1696 it, and will do^H6213 it.¹⁵And I will scatter^H6327 thee among the heathen^H1471, and disperse^H2219 thee in the countries^H776, and will consume^H8552 thy filthiness^H2932 out of thee.¹⁶And thou shalt take thine inheritance^{H2490 H5157} in thyself in the sight^H5869 of the heathen^H1471, and thou shalt know^H3045 that I am the LORD^H3068.

¹⁷And the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,¹⁸Son^H1121 of man^H120, the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 is to me become dross^H5509: all they are brass^H5178, and tin^H913, and iron^H1270, and lead^H5777, in the midst^H8432 of the furnace^H3564; they are even the dross^H5509 of silver^H3701.¹⁹Therefore thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Because ye are all become dross^H5509, behold, therefore I will gather^H6908 you into the midst^H8432 of Jerusalem^H3389.²⁰As they gather^H6910 silver^H3701, and brass^H5178, and iron^H1270, and lead^H5777, and tin^H913, into the midst^H8432 of the furnace^H3564, to blow^H5301 the fire^H784 upon it, to melt^H5413 it; so will I gather^H6908 you in mine anger^H639 and in my fury^H2534, and I will leave^H3240 you there, and melt^H5413 you.²¹Yea, I will gather^H3664 you, and blow^H5301 upon you in the fire^H784 of my wrath^H5678, and ye shall be melted^H5413 in the midst^H8432 thereof.²²As silver^H3701 is melted^H2046 in the midst^H8432 of the furnace^H3564, so shall ye be melted^H5413 in the midst^H8432 thereof; and ye shall know^H3045 that I the LORD^H3068 have poured out^H8210 my fury^H2534 upon you.

²³And the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,²⁴Son^H1121 of man^H120, say^H559 unto her, Thou art the land^H776 that is not cleansed^H2891, nor rained^H1656 upon in the day^H3117 of indignation^H2195.²⁵There is a conspiracy^H7195 of her prophets^H5030 in the midst^H8432 thereof, like a roaring^H7580 lion^H738 ravening^H2963 the prey^H2964; they have devoured^H398 souls^H5315; they have taken^H3947 the treasure^H2633 and precious things^H3366; they have made her many^H7235 widows^H490 in the midst^H8432 thereof.²⁶Her priests^H3548 have violated^H2554 my law^H8451, and have profaned^H2490 mine holy things^H6944: they have put no difference^H914 between the holy^H6944 and profane^H2455, neither have they shewed^H3045 difference between the unclean^H2931 and the clean^H2889, and have hid^H5956 their eyes^H5869 from my sabbaths^H7676, and I am profaned^H2490 among^H8432 them.²⁷Her princes^H8269 in the midst^H7130 thereof are like wolves^H2061 ravening^H2963 the prey^H2964, to shed^H8210 blood^H1818, and to destroy^H6 souls^H5315, to get^H1214 dishonest gain^H1215.²⁸And her prophets^H5030 have daubed^H2902 them with untempered^H8602 morter, seeing^H2374 vanity^H7723, and divining^H7080 lies^H3577 unto them, saying^H559, Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, when the LORD^H3068 hath not spoken^H1696.²⁹The people^H5971 of the land^H776 have used oppression^{H6231 H6233}, and exercised^H1497 robbery^H1498, and have vexed^H3238 the poor^H6041 and needy^H34: yea, they have oppressed^H6231 the stranger^H1616 wrongfully^H4941.³⁰And I sought^H1245 for a man^H376 among them, that should make up^H1443 the hedge^H1447, and stand^H5975 in the gap^H6556 before^H6440 me for the land^H776, that I should not destroy^H7843 it: but I found^H4672 none.³¹Therefore have I poured out^H8210 mine indignation^H2195 upon them; I have consumed^H3615 them with the fire^H784 of my wrath^H5678: their own way^H1870 have I recompensed^H5414 upon their heads^H7218, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.
