EZEKIEL 22:1

Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.

EZEKIEL 22:2

Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

EZEKIEL 22:3

Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

EZEKIEL 22:12

Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

EZEKIEL 22:13

Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.

EZEKIEL 22:14

And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZEKIEL 22:17

Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.

EZEKIEL 22:18

EZEKIEL 22:19

As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.

EZEKIEL 22:20

Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.

EZEKIEL 22:21

As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

EZEKIEL 22:23

Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

EZEKIEL 22:24

There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

EZEKIEL 22:25

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
