Ezekiel 22:3-5

International Standard Version

³ “You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “The city keeps on shedding blood within her, hastening her time to be judged. She crafts idols that defile her.

⁴ “‘“You’re guilty because of the blood that you’ve shed. You were defiled by the idols that you’ve made. You’ve caused your judgment day to draw near and have even come to the end of^[a] your life. Therefore, I’ve made you an object of derision among the nations and to other^[b] lands. ⁵ Those who are both near and far away from you will scoff at you, because your reputation will be infamous and full of turmoil.
