Ezekiel 22:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ Say that this is what the Lord God says.

O city, you shed blood in your midst, and you bring on your time of judgment. You manufacture idols throughout the city, and so you defile yourself. ⁴ Because of the blood you have shed, you have become guilty, and because of the filthy idols you have made, you have become defiled. You have brought near your final days. You have arrived at the end of your years. Therefore, I have made you a disgrace to the nations and subjected you to ridicule among all the countries. ⁵ Those nearby and those far away from you will ridicule you, who are notorious for impurity and full of turmoil.
