1 And the word of YHWH came to me, saying: 2 “And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge this city of blood? Then make known to her all her abominations, 3 and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘O city, pouring out blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and she makes idols upon herself to defile herself! 4 By the blood that you have poured out, you have become guilty, and by the idols that you have made, you have defiled yourself; and your days you have brought near, and you have come to your years! Upon thus I have made you a reproach for the nations, and of derision for all the lands. 5 Those near and those far from you will mock you, O unclean of name, full of turmoil. 6 Behold, the princes of Israel, each man to his arm, have come to be among you in order to pour out blood! 7 The father and mother they have belittled among you; against the sojourner they have acted with oppression in your midst; the fatherless and the widow they have mistreated among you.
