Ezekiel 22:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Say to her: Thus says the Lord: Woe to the city that sheds blood within itself. You thus hasten your doom, having made idols and thereby defiling yourself. ⁴ You have incurred guilt by the blood that you have shed, and you have become defiled by the gods that you have fashioned. Thus, you have shortened your lifespan; the end of your years are at hand. This is why you are now regarded by the nations as a disgrace. You have become a laughingstock to all foreign lands. ⁵ Those who are near you and those who are far off shall mock you because you have become infamous for your great perversity.
