Ezekiel 22 — Context

1

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2

“And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?

3

And you shall reveal to her all her abominations. And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: This is the city which sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and which has made idols against herself, so that she may be defiled.

4

You have offended by your blood, which you shed from yourself. And you have been defiled by your idols which you yourself made. And you have caused your days to approach, and you have brought on the time of your years. Because of this, I have made you a disgrace to the Gentiles, and a derision to all the lands.

5

Those that are near and those that are far from you will triumph over you. You are filthy, infamous, great in destruction.
