Ezekiel 22:2-4

Expanded Bible

² “And you, ·human [^Tson of man; 2:1], will you judge? Will you judge the city of ·murderers [bloodshed; ^CJerusalem]? Then tell her about all her ·hateful [detestable; abominable] acts. ³ You are to say: ‘This is what the Lord God says: You are a city that ·kills those who come to live there [^Lsheds blood in her midst]. You ·make yourself unclean [defile yourself; ^Critually] by making idols. ⁴ You have become guilty of ·murder [bloodshed] and have become ·unclean [defiled] by your idols which you have made. So you have brought your ·time of punishment [^Ldays] near; you have come to the end of your years. That is why I have made you a ·shame [object of scorn] to the nations and ·why all lands laugh at you [^La mockery/laughingstock to all lands].
