Ezekiel 22:3-6

English Standard Version

³ You shall say, Thus says the Lord God: A city that sheds blood in her midst, so that ^(A)her time may come, and that makes idols to defile herself! ⁴ You have become guilty ^(B)by the blood that you have shed, and defiled by the idols that you have made, and you have brought ^(C)your days near, the appointed time of^[a] your years has come. ^(D)Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all the countries. ⁵ Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you; ^(E)your name is defiled; ^(F)you are full of tumult.

⁶ “Behold, ^(G)the princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood.
