Ezekiel 22
22
1Moreover the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying,
2Now, youi Son of man, will youi judge, will youi judge the bloody city? yes, youi shall show her all her abominations.
3Then say youi, Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), The city sheds blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and makes idols against herself to defile herself.
4Youi are become guilty in youri blood that youi have shed; and have defiled yourself in youri idols which youi have made; and youi have caused youri days to draw near, and are come [even] unto youri years: therefore have I made youi a reproach (disgrace; shame) unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
5 [Those that be] near, and [those that be] far from youi, shall mock youi, [which are] infamous [and] much vexed.
6Behold, the princes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], everyone were in youi to their power to shed blood.
7In youi have they make light of father and mother: in the midst of youi have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in youi have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8Youi have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Shabbat.
9In youi are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in youi they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of youi they commit lewdness.
10In youi have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in youi have they forced her that was set apart for pollution (her menstrual cycle).
11And one has committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in youi has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
12In youi have they taken gifts to shed blood; youi have taken usury (interest paid for using money) and increase, and youi have greedily gained of youri neighbours by extortion, and have forgotten me, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER).
13Behold, therefore I have smitten my hand at youri dishonest gain which youi have made, and at youri blood which has been in the midst of youi.
14Can youri heart endure, or can youri hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with youi? I the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have spoken [it], and will do [it].
15And I will scatter youi among the heathen, and disperse youi in the countries, and will consume youri filthiness out of youi.
16And youi shall take youri inheritance in yourself in the sight of the heathen, and youi shall know that I [am] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
17And the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying,
18Son of man, the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] 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.
19Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER); Because you2f are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
20 [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 my anger and in my fury, and I will leave [you there], and melt you.
21Yes, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and you2f shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you2f be melted in the midst thereof; and you2f shall know that I the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have poured out my fury upon you.
23And the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying,
24Son of man, say unto her, youi [are] the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 [There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening (preying upon to devour) the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
26Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and Profane (treat as common; defile), neither have they showed [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Shabbat, and I am profaned among them.
27Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves ravening (preying upon to devour) the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
28And her prophets have daubed them with untempered [mortar], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), when the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has not spoken.
29The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
30And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
31Therefore have I poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER).
