The Sins of Jerusalem The LORD’s message came to me:
“As for you, son of man, are you willing to pronounce judgment, are you willing to pronounce judgment on the bloody city? Then confront her with all her abominable deeds!
Then say,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O city, who spills blood within herself(which brings on her doom), and who makes herself idols(which results in impurity),
you are guilty because of the blood you shed and defiled by the idols you made. You have hastened the day of your doom; the end of your years has come. Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations, an object to be mocked by all lands.
Those both near and far from you will mock you, you with your bad reputation, full of turmoil.
“‘See how each of the princes of Israel living within you has used his authority to shed blood.
