Ezekiel 22:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ Because you have murdered people and you have made disgusting idols, you are now guilty. This has brought the time of your punishment very near. Your years of power have come to an end. I will cause the people of other nations to laugh at you. They will all insult you. ⁵ The people of countries that are near to you will laugh at you. Those who live far away will also laugh at you. You will no longer receive any honour because your city is full of trouble.

⁶ Each ruler of Israel that lives in you, Jerusalem, has been a murderer. Each one has used his power to kill people.
