Ezekiel 22:1-9

Ezekiel 22:1-9 NCV

The LORD spoke his word to me, saying: “And you, human, will you judge? Will you judge the city of murderers? Then tell her about all her hateful acts. You are to say: ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: You are a city that kills those who come to live there. You make yourself unclean by making idols. You have become guilty of murder and have become unclean by your idols which you have made. So you have brought your time of punishment near; you have come to the end of your years. That is why I have made you a shame to the nations and why all lands laugh at you. Those near and those far away laugh at you with your bad name, you city full of confusion. “ ‘Jerusalem, see how each ruler of Israel in you has been trying to kill people. The people in you hate their fathers and mothers. They mistreat the foreigners in you and wrong the orphans and widows in you. You hate my holy things and dishonor my Sabbaths. The men in you tell lies to cause the death of others. The people in you eat food offered to idols at the mountain places of worship, and they take part in sexual sins.
