Moreover the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ came unto me, saying ^{559 , 8800} ,

Now, thou son ¹¹²¹ of man ¹²⁰ , wilt thou judge ^{8199 , 8799} , wilt thou judge ^{8199 , 8799} the bloody ¹⁸¹⁸ city ⁵⁸⁹² ? yea, thou shalt shew ^{3045 , 8689} her all her abominations ⁸⁴⁴¹ . [judge: or, plead for] [bloody...: Heb. city of bloods?] [shew her: Heb. make her know]

Then say ^{559 , 8804} thou, Thus saith ^{559 , 8804} the Lord ¹³⁶ GOD ³⁰⁶⁹ , The city ⁵⁸⁹² sheddeth ^{8210 , 8802} blood ¹⁸¹⁸ in the midst ⁸⁴³² of it, that her time ⁶²⁵⁶ may come ^{935 , 8800} , and maketh ^{6213 , 8804} idols ¹⁵⁴⁴ against herself to defile ^{2930 , 8800} herself.

Thou art become guilty ^{816 , 8804} in thy blood ¹⁸¹⁸ that thou hast shed ^{8210 , 8804} ; and hast defiled ^{2930 , 8804} thyself in thine idols ¹⁵⁴⁴ which thou hast made ^{6213 , 8804} ; and thou hast caused thy days ³¹¹⁷ to draw near ^{7126 , 8686} , and art come ^{935 , 8799} even unto thy years ⁸¹⁴¹ : therefore have I made ^{5414 , 8804} thee a reproach ²⁷⁸¹ unto the heathen ¹⁴⁷¹ , and a mocking ⁷⁰⁴⁸ to all countries ⁷⁷⁶ .

Those that be near ⁷¹³⁸ , and those that be far ⁷³⁵⁰ from thee, shall mock ^{7046 , 8691} thee, which art infamous ^{2931 , 8034} and much ⁷²²⁷ vexed ⁴¹⁰³ . [infamous...: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation]

Behold, the princes ⁵³⁸⁷ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ , every one ³⁷⁶ were in thee to their power ²²²⁰ to shed ^{8210 , 8800} blood ¹⁸¹⁸ . [power: Heb. arm]

In thee have they set light ^{7043 , 8689} by father ¹ and mother ⁵¹⁷ : in the midst ⁸⁴³² of thee have they dealt ^{6213 , 8804} by oppression ⁶²³³ with the stranger ¹⁶¹⁶ : in thee have they vexed ^{3238 , 8689} the fatherless ³⁴⁹⁰ and the widow ⁴⁹⁰ . [oppression: or, deceit]

Thou hast despised ^{959 , 8804} mine holy things ⁶⁹⁴⁴ , and hast profaned ^{2490 , 8765} my sabbaths ⁷⁶⁷⁶ .

In thee are men ⁵⁸² that carry tales ⁷⁴⁰⁰ to shed ^{8210 , 8800} blood ¹⁸¹⁸ : and in thee they eat ^{398 , 8804} upon the mountains ²⁰²² : in the midst ⁸⁴³² of thee they commit ^{6213 , 8804} lewdness ²¹⁵⁴ . [that...: Heb. of slanders]

And one ³⁷⁶ hath committed ^{6213 , 8804} abomination ⁸⁴⁴¹ with his neighbour's ⁷⁴⁵³ wife ⁸⁰² ; and another ³⁷⁶ hath lewdly ²¹⁵⁴ defiled ^{2930 , 8765} his daughter in law ³⁶¹⁸ ; and another ³⁷⁶ in thee hath humbled ^{6031 , 8765} his sister ²⁶⁹ , his father's ¹ daughter ¹³²³ . [one: or, every one] [another: or, every one] [lewdly: or, by lewdness]

In thee have they taken ^{3947 , 8804} gifts ⁷⁸¹⁰ to shed ^{8210 , 8800} blood ¹⁸¹⁸ ; thou hast taken ^{3947 , 8804} usury ⁵³⁹² and increase ⁸⁶³⁶ , and thou hast greedily gained ^{1214 , 8762} of thy neighbours ⁷⁴⁵³ by extortion ⁶²³³ , and hast forgotten ^{7911 , 8804} me, saith ^{5002 , 8803} the Lord ¹³⁶ GOD ³⁰⁶⁹ .

Behold, therefore I have smitten ^{5221 , 8689} mine hand ³⁷⁰⁹ at thy dishonest gain ¹²¹⁵ which thou hast made ^{6213 , 8804} , and at thy blood ¹⁸¹⁸ which hath been in the midst ⁸⁴³² of thee.

Can thine heart ³⁸²⁰ endure ^{5975 , 8799} , or can thine hands ³⁰²⁷ be strong ^{2388 , 8799} , in the days ³¹¹⁷ that I shall deal ^{6213 , 8802} with thee? I the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ have spoken ^{1696 , 8765} it , and will do ^{6213 , 8804} it .

And I will scatter ^{6327 , 8689} thee among the heathen ¹⁴⁷¹ , and disperse ^{2219 , 8765} thee in the countries ⁷⁷⁶ , and will consume ^{8552 , 8689} thy filthiness ²⁹³² out of thee.

And thou shalt take thine inheritance ^{2490 , 8738 , 8676 , 5157 , 8765} in thyself in the sight ⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the heathen ¹⁴⁷¹ , and thou shalt know ^{3045 , 8804} that I am the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ . [shalt take...: or, shalt be profaned]

And the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ came unto me, saying ^{559 , 8800} ,

Son ¹¹²¹ of man ¹²⁰ , the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ is to me become dross ⁵⁵⁰⁹ : all they are brass ⁵¹⁷⁸ , and tin ⁹¹³ , and iron ¹²⁷⁰ , and lead ⁵⁷⁷⁷ , in the midst ⁸⁴³² of the furnace ³⁵⁶⁴ ; they are even the dross ⁵⁵⁰⁹ of silver ³⁷⁰¹ . [dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc]

Therefore thus saith ^{559 , 8804} the Lord ¹³⁶ GOD ³⁰⁶⁹ ; Because ye are all become dross ⁵⁵⁰⁹ , behold, therefore I will gather ^{6908 , 8802} you into the midst ⁸⁴³² of Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹ .

As they gather ⁶⁹¹⁰ silver ³⁷⁰¹ , and brass ⁵¹⁷⁸ , and iron ¹²⁷⁰ , and lead ⁵⁷⁷⁷ , and tin ⁹¹³ , into the midst ⁸⁴³² of the furnace ³⁵⁶⁴ , to blow ^{5301 , 8800} the fire ⁷⁸⁴ upon it, to melt ^{5413 , 8687} it ; so will I gather ^{6908 , 8799} you in mine anger ⁶³⁹ and in my fury ²⁵³⁴ , and I will leave ^{3240 , 8689} you there , and melt ^{5413 , 8689} you. [As...: Heb. According to the gathering]

Yea, I will gather ^{3664 , 8765} you, and blow ^{5301 , 8804} upon you in the fire ⁷⁸⁴ of my wrath ⁵⁶⁷⁸ , and ye shall be melted ^{5413 , 8738} in the midst ⁸⁴³² thereof.

As silver ³⁷⁰¹ is melted ²⁰⁴⁶ in the midst ⁸⁴³² of the furnace ³⁵⁶⁴ , so shall ye be melted ^{5413 , 8714} in the midst ⁸⁴³² thereof; and ye shall know ^{3045 , 8804} that I the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ have poured out ^{8210 , 8804} my fury ²⁵³⁴ upon you.

And the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ came unto me, saying ^{559 , 8800} ,

Son ¹¹²¹ of man ¹²⁰ , say ^{559 , 8798} unto her, Thou art the land ⁷⁷⁶ that is not cleansed ^{2891 , 8794} , nor rained ¹⁶⁵⁶ upon in the day ³¹¹⁷ of indignation ²¹⁹⁵ .

There is a conspiracy ⁷¹⁹⁵ of her prophets ⁵⁰³⁰ in the midst ⁸⁴³² thereof, like a roaring ^{7580 , 8802} lion ⁷³⁸ ravening ^{2963 , 8802} the prey ²⁹⁶⁴ ; they have devoured ^{398 , 8804} souls ⁵³¹⁵ ; they have taken ^{3947 , 8799} the treasure ²⁶³³ and precious things ³³⁶⁶ ; they have made her many ^{7235 , 8689} widows ⁴⁹⁰ in the midst ⁸⁴³² thereof.

Her priests ³⁵⁴⁸ have violated ^{2554 , 8804} my law ⁸⁴⁵¹ , and have profaned ^{2490 , 8762} mine holy things ⁶⁹⁴⁴ : they have put no difference ^{914 , 8689} between the holy ⁶⁹⁴⁴ and profane ²⁴⁵⁵ , neither have they shewed ^{3045 , 8689} difference between the unclean ²⁹³¹ and the clean ²⁸⁸⁹ , and have hid ^{5956 , 8689} their eyes ⁵⁸⁶⁹ from my sabbaths ⁷⁶⁷⁶ , and I am profaned ^{2490 , 8735} among ⁸⁴³² them. [violated: Heb. offered violence to]

Her princes ⁸²⁶⁹ in the midst ⁷¹³⁰ thereof are like wolves ²⁰⁶¹ ravening ^{2963 , 8802} the prey ²⁹⁶⁴ , to shed ^{8210 , 8800} blood ¹⁸¹⁸ , and to destroy ^{6 , 8763} souls ⁵³¹⁵ , to get ^{1214 , 8800} dishonest gain ¹²¹⁵ .

And her prophets ⁵⁰³⁰ have daubed ^{2902 , 8804} them with untempered ⁸⁶⁰² morter , seeing ²³⁷⁴ vanity ⁷⁷²³ , and divining ^{7080 , 8802} lies ³⁵⁷⁷ unto them, saying ^{559 , 8802} , Thus saith ^{559 , 8804} the Lord ¹³⁶ GOD ³⁰⁶⁹ , when the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ hath not spoken ^{1696 , 8765} .

The people ⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land ⁷⁷⁶ have used oppression ^{6231 , 8804 , 6233} , and exercised ^{1497 , 8804} robbery ¹⁴⁹⁸ , and have vexed ^{3238 , 8689} the poor ⁶⁰⁴¹ and needy ³⁴ : yea, they have oppressed ^{6231 , 8804} the stranger ¹⁶¹⁶ wrongfully ⁴⁹⁴¹ . [oppression: or, deceit] [wrongfully: Heb. without right]

And I sought ^{1245 , 8762} for a man ³⁷⁶ among them, that should make up ^{1443 , 8802} the hedge ¹⁴⁴⁷ , and stand ^{5975 , 8802} in the gap ⁶⁵⁵⁶ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ me for the land ⁷⁷⁶ , that I should not destroy ^{7843 , 8763} it: but I found ^{4672 , 8804} none.

Therefore have I poured out ^{8210 , 8799} mine indignation ²¹⁹⁵ upon them; I have consumed ^{3615 , 8765} them with the fire ⁷⁸⁴ of my wrath ⁵⁶⁷⁸ : their own way ¹⁸⁷⁰ have I recompensed ^{5414 , 8804} upon their heads ⁷²¹⁸ , saith ^{5002 , 8803} the Lord ¹³⁶ GOD ³⁰⁶⁹ .
