Ezekiel 5:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ But its people are sinful. They have refused to obey my laws and rules. They have turned their backs on my laws. They have not followed my rules. These people are worse than the nations and countries around them.”

⁷ The Lord and King continues, “You people have been worse than the nations around you. You have not lived by my rules or kept my laws. You have not even lived up to the standards of the nations around you.”

⁸ The Lord and King continues, “Jerusalem, I myself am against you. I will punish you in the sight of the nations.
