1Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
3And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her!
4Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one [and] full of tumult.
6Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
7In thee have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the sojourner; in thee have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
