Ezekiel 22:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Bloody City

22 The word of the Lord came to me: ² You, mortal, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then declare to it all its abominable deeds.^{(A) 3} You shall say: Thus says the Lord God: A city! Shedding blood within itself; its time has come; making its idols, defiling itself.
