Book 26 Ezekiel Chapter 022

 

022:001Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

 

022:002Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the
bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.

 

022:003Then 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.

 

022:004Thou 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.

 

022:005Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall
mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.

 

022:006Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their
power to shed blood.

 

022:007In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst
of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in
thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

 

022:008Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my
sabbaths.

 

022:009In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee
they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit
lewdness.

 

022:010In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee
have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

 

022:011And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife;
and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and
another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's
daughter.

 

022:012In 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.

 

022:013Behold, 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.

 

022:014Can 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.

 

022:015And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee
in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

 

022:016And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight
of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

 

022:017And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

 

022:018Son 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.

 

022:019Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become
dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of
Jerusalem.

 

022:020As 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.

 

022:021Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my
wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.

 

022:022As 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.

 

022:023And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

 

022:024Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not
cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

 

022:025There 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.

 

022:026Her 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.

 

022:027Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the
prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest
gain.

 

022:028And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter,
seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith
the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

 

022:029The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised
robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have
oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

 

022:030And 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.

 

022:031Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have
consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I
recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
