Young's Literal Translation
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
“As
for
you
, son of man, will
you
judge her
? Will
you
pass
judgment
on
the city of bloodshed
? Then confront
her
with
all her
abominations
`And
thou
, son of man, dost
thou
judge? dost
thou
judge
the city of blood
? then thou
hast
caused
it
to
know
all its
abominations ,
and tell
her
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘O
city who
brings
her
own
doom
by
shedding blood within
her
walls
and making
idols to
defile
herself,
and thou
hast
said:
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: The
city is
shedding blood in
its
midst,
For
the
coming
in
of
its
time,
And it
hath
made
idols on
it
for
defilement.
you
are
guilty
of
the
blood you
have
shed, and you
are
defiled
by the
idols you
have
made .
You
have
brought
your
days to a
close
and have
come to
the
end
of
your
years .
Therefore I have made
you
a reproach to the
nations and a mockery
to all the lands.
By
thy
blood that
thou
hast
shed thou
hast
been
guilty
, And by thine
idols that
thou
hast
made thou
hast
been
defiled,
And
thou
causest
thy
days to draw
near,
And art
come in
unto
thine
years ,
Therefore I have given
thee
a reproach to nations ,
And a derision
to all the lands.
Those
near and far will
mock
you
, O infamous
city,
full
of turmoil
.
The
near and the
far -off
from
thee
scoff
at
thee
, O defiled
of name
--
abounding
in
trouble
.
See
how
every
prince
of Israel within
you
has
used
his power
to shed blood.
Lo,
princes
of Israel --
each
according
to
his arm
Have
been
in
thee
to shed blood.
Father and mother are
treated
with
contempt.
Within
your
walls
the
foreign
resident
is
exploited
, the
fatherless and the
widow are
oppressed.
Father and mother made
light
of
in
thee
, To
a
sojourner
they
dealt
oppressively
in
thy
midst,
Fatherless and widow they
oppressed in
thee
.
You
have
despised
My holy things and profaned
My Sabbaths.
My holy things thou
hast
despised,
And My sabbaths thou
hast
polluted
.
Among
you
are
slanderous
men bent
on
bloodshed;
within
you
are
those
who
eat
on the mountain
shrines
and
commit
acts
of
indecency
.
Men of
slander
have
been
in
thee
to
shed
blood,
And
on the mountains
they
have
eaten
in
thee,
Wickedness
they
have
done
in
thy
midst
.
In
you
they
have
uncovered
the nakedness of their
fathers;
in you
they
violate
women
during
their
menstrual
impurity.
The nakedness of a
father
hath
one
uncovered
in thee,
The
defiled
of
impurity they
humbled
in
thee
.
One
man
commits
an
abomination
with his
neighbor’s
wife ;
another
wickedly
defiles
his daughter-in-law ;
and yet
another
violates
his sister, his own
father’s
daughter.
And
each
with the
wife of
his neighbour
hath
done
abomination,
And
each
his
daughter-in-law hath
defiled
through
wickedness,
And each
his sister, his father's
daughter ,
hath
humbled
in
thee
.
In
you
they take
bribes
to shed blood .
You
engage
in
usury, take
excess
interest
, and extort
your
neighbors.
But
Me you
have
forgotten, declares
the Lord GOD.
A
bribe
they have
taken
in
thee
to shed blood ,
Usury and
increase
thou
hast
taken
, And
cuttest
off
thy
neighbour
by
oppression
, And Me thou
hast
forgotten, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah!
Now
look
, I strike
My hands
together
against
your
unjust
gain and against
the
blood you
have
shed
in your
midst.
And
lo
, I have
smitten
My hand,
Because
of
thy
dishonest
gain that
thou
hast
gained,
And for
thy
blood that
hath
been
in thy
midst.
Will
your
courage
endure
or
your
hands be
strong in
the day
I deal
with you
? I, the
LORD
, have spoken ,
and I
will
act
.
Doth
thy
heart
stand
--
are
thy
hands strong ,
For
the days
that
I am
dealing
with thee
? I, Jehovah
, have spoken and have
done
`it'
.
I will
disperse
you
among the
nations and scatter
you
throughout
the
lands ;
I
will
purge
your
uncleanness.
And
I have
scattered
thee
among nations ,
And have
spread
thee
out
among
lands ,
And
consumed
thy
uncleanness out
of
thee
.
And when
you
have
defiled
yourself
in the eyes of the
nations, then
you
will
know
that I am the
LORD
. ’”
And thou
hast
been
polluted
in thyself
Before
the eyes of nations, And
thou
hast
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
. '
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying, `Son
of
man,
“Son
of
man,
the house of Israel has
become
dross
to Me .
All of them are copper
, tin, iron, and lead inside
the furnace ;
they
are
but
the
dross of
silver .
The house of Israel hath
been
to Me for
dross,
All of them `
are '
brass
, and
tin, and
iron, and lead ,
In
the midst
of
a
furnace --
dross hath
silver been,
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
Because all
of you
have
become
dross, behold
, I will
gather
you into
Jerusalem .
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because of your
all
becoming
dross, Therefore
, lo,
I am
gathering
you unto
the
midst
of
Jerusalem ,
Just
as
one
gathers
silver, copper
, iron, lead, and tin into
the furnace to melt with
a
fiery
blast
, so I will
gather you
in My
anger and wrath
, leave
you
there
, and melt
you.
A
gathering
of
silver, and
brass
, and
iron, and
lead, and tin ,
Unto
the midst
of
a
furnace --
to blow
on
it
fire,
to
melt it
, So do
I gather in Mine
anger and in
My
fury
, And
I
have
let
rest
, and have
melted
you.
Yes,
I will
gather
you together
and blow
on you with
the fire of My wrath, and you
will
be
melted within
the
city
.
And
I have
heaped
you up,
And blown
on you in
the fire of My wrath, And ye
have
been
melted in
its
midst
.
As silver is
melted
in a furnace, so you
will
be
melted within
the
city.
Then
you
will
know
that I, the
LORD
, have poured out My wrath
upon you. ’”
As the
melting
of
silver in the
midst
of
a furnace, So are
ye
melted in
its
midst,
And
ye
have
known
that I, Jehovah
, I
have poured out My fury
upon you. '
And the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying ,
And there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying :
“
Son of man, say to her,
‘In
the
day
of
indignation
, you
are
a land that
has
not been
cleansed ,
upon
which
no
rain
has
fallen
. ’
`
Son of man, say to it
, Thou
`art'
a land ,
It
`is'
not cleansed nor
rained
on
in
a
day
of
indignation
.
The
conspiracy of the
princes
in her
midst is
like
a roaring lion tearing its
prey .
They
devour
the people
, seize
the
treasures
and precious
things
, and
multiply
the
widows within
her
.
A
conspiracy of its
prophets
`is'
in its
midst ,
as
a roaring lion tearing prey ;
The soul
they
have
devoured
, Wealth
and glory
they
have
taken
, Its
widows have
multiplied
in
its
midst
.
Her
priests do
violence
to
My law and profane
My holy things .
They
make
no
distinction
between the
holy and the
common, and they
fail
to
distinguish
between the clean
and the unclean.
They disregard
My Sabbaths, so
that
I am profaned
among
them
.
Its
priests have
wronged
My law ,
And they
pollute
My holy things ,
Between holy and common they
have
not
made
separation
, And between the unclean
and the clean
they have
not
made
known,
And
from
my sabbaths they
have
hidden
their
eyes
, And
I am pierced
in
their
midst
.
Her
officials
within
her
are like
wolves tearing their
prey, shedding
blood, and
destroying
lives
for dishonest gain.
Its
princes
in
its
midst
`
are '
as
wolves ,
Tearing prey, to
shed
blood, to
destroy
souls,
For the
sake
of
gaining
dishonest gain.
Her
prophets whitewash
these
deeds
by
false
visions
and lying
divinations
, saying, ‘This
is
what
the
Lord
GOD
says,’
when
the LORD has
not spoken.
And
its
prophets have
daubed
for
them
with
chalk,
Seeing
a
vain
thing,
and divining
for
them
a
lie
, Saying, `Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah:'
And
Jehovah
hath
not spoken.
The people of the land have practiced
extortion
and committed
robbery.
They
have oppressed
the
poor
and needy
and have exploited
the foreign
resident
without justice
.
The people of the land have used
oppression,
And have taken
plunder
violently
away,
And humble
and needy
have oppressed,
And
the sojourner
oppressed
--
without judgment
.
I searched
for
a man among
them
to
repair
the
wall
and stand
in the gap
before Me on
behalf of the land ,
so
that
I
should
not destroy it .
But
I found no
one
.
And
I seek
of
them
a man making
a
fence,
And standing
in the breach
before Me ,
In
behalf of the land --
not to
destroy it ,
And
I have
not
found.
So
I have
poured
out My
indignation
upon
them
and
consumed
them with
the
fire of My fury.
I have brought
their ways
down
upon
their own heads
, declares
the Lord GOD.”
And
I pour
out on
them mine
indignation,
By
fire of My wrath
I have consumed
them,
Their way
on
their own head
I
have
put
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah!'
