King James Version
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
Moreover
the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying,
`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 ,
Now
, thou
son of man, wilt
thou judge ,
wilt
thou judge the bloody
city? yea,
thou shalt
shew
her
all her
abominations .
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
.
Then
say
thou ,
Thus saith
the Lord GOD,
The city sheddeth
blood in the midst
of it,
that
her
time may
come
, and maketh
idols against
herself
to
defile
herself
.
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
.
Thou
art
become
guilty
in
thy blood that thou hast shed ;
and hast
defiled
thyself
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
heathen
, and a mocking
to all countries
.
The
near and the
far -off
from thee scoff
at
thee, O
defiled
of
name
--
abounding
in
trouble
.
Those
that
be
near ,
and those
that
be
far from thee ,
shall
mock
thee, which
art
infamous
and
much
vexed
.
Lo
, princes of Israel --
each
according
to
his
arm
Have
been
in thee to shed blood.
Behold
, the
princes of Israel ,
every
one
were
in thee to their
power
to
shed blood.
Father and mother made
light
of
in thee ,
To
a
sojourner
they dealt oppressively
in thy
midst,
Fatherless and widow they
oppressed
in
thee
.
In
thee
have
they
set
light
by
father and mother :
in the
midst
of
thee have
they dealt by
oppression
with
the
stranger:
in thee
have
they
vexed
the
fatherless and the
widow.
My
holy
things
thou hast despised, And My sabbaths thou
hast
polluted
.
Thou hast despised mine
holy
things
, and hast
profaned
my sabbaths.
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 thee are
men
that
carry
tales
to shed blood :
and in thee they eat
upon
the
mountains:
in the
midst of
thee
they
commit
lewdness
.
The
nakedness
of
a
father
hath
one
uncovered
in thee ,
The
defiled
of
impurity
they humbled
in thee.
In thee have
they discovered
their
fathers'
nakedness:
in thee have
they
humbled
her
that
was
set
apart
for
pollution
.
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
.
And one
hath committed
abomination with
his
neighbour's
wife;
and another
hath
lewdly
defiled
his daughter in law ;
and another
in
thee
hath
humbled
his sister, his father's daughter.
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!
In thee have
they
taken
gifts
to shed blood ;
thou hast taken usury
and
increase
, and thou
hast
greedily
gained
of
thy neighbours
by extortion
, and hast forgotten me
, saith
the Lord GOD.
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.
Behold
, therefore
I have smitten mine
hand at
thy dishonest gain which
thou hast made
, and at
thy blood which
hath been in the
midst of
thee
.
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 '
.
Can
thine
heart endure,
or
can
thine
hands be
strong, in
the days that I shall
deal
with thee? I the
LORD
have spoken it,
and will
do
it.
And I have
scattered
thee among nations
, And have
spread
thee out
among
lands
, And consumed
thy uncleanness
out of thee.
And I will
scatter
thee among the
heathen
, and disperse
thee in
the
countries
, and will
consume
thy filthiness
out of thee.
And thou hast
been
polluted
in thyself Before
the eyes
of nations
, And thou hast
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
. '
And thou shalt
take
thine
inheritance
in thyself in
the sight
of the
heathen
, and thou shalt
know
that I am the
LORD
.
And there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying, `Son
of
man,
And the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying,
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,
Son
of
man,
the house of Israel is
to me become
dross :
all they
are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the
furnace ;
they
are
even
the
dross of
silver .
Therefore ,
thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Because of
your
all becoming
dross, Therefore,
lo
, I am
gathering
you unto
the midst of Jerusalem ,
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Because ye
are
all become
dross, behold
, therefore
I will
gather
you into
the midst of Jerusalem .
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.
As
they
gather
silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into
the midst of the
furnace ,
to blow the
fire upon
it
, to melt it ;
so will
I gather you
in mine anger and in my fury, and I will
leave
you
there
, and melt
you.
And
I have
heaped
you up
, And blown
on
you in the fire of My wrath, And ye have
been
melted in its
midst.
Yea,
I will
gather
you, and blow
upon
you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall
be
melted in the
midst therof
.
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. '
As silver is
melted
in the midst of the
furnace, so shall
ye be
melted in the
midst thereof;
and ye shall
know
that I the
LORD
have poured out my fury upon you.
And there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying :
And the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying ,
`
Son of man, say to
it
, Thou `
art '
a
land ,
It
`
is '
not cleansed nor rained on
in a
day of indignation.
Son of man, say unto
her
, Thou art the
land that
is not cleansed ,
nor rained upon
in the
day of indignation.
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.
There
is
a conspiracy of her
prophets in the
midst thereof
, like
a roaring lion ravening
the
prey; they have devoured souls;
they have taken the
treasure
and
precious
things;
they
have made
her
many
widows
in the
midst thereof
.
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
priests have violated
my law, and have
profaned
mine
holy things :
they
have
put
no
difference
between the
holy and profane
, neither
have
they
shewed
difference
between the unclean and the clean, and have hid
their eyes from
my
sabbaths
, and I am profaned
among
them
.
Its
princes in its
midst `
are '
as
wolves ,
Tearing
prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For
the
sake
of
gaining
dishonest gain.
Her
princes in the
midst thereof
are like
wolves ravening
the
prey, to shed blood, and
to destroy souls, to
get
dishonest gain.
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.
And her
prophets have daubed them with untempered
morter
, seeing vanity
, and divining lies
unto
them, saying, Thus saith
the Lord GOD,
when
the
LORD
hath not spoken.
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
.
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised
robbery
, and have
vexed
the
poor
and needy :
yea,
they
have oppressed the stranger
wrongfully
.
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.
And I sought
for
a man among
them
, that
should
make
up
the
hedge,
and stand
in the gap
before me for
the land ,
that
I
should
not destroy it :
but
I found none
.
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!'
Therefore
have
I poured
out mine indignation upon
them;
I have consumed them with
the
fire
of
my
wrath:
their own way
have I
recompensed
upon
their
heads
, saith
the Lord GOD.
