RF EZE 22:1 The Crimes of Jerusalem.
The command of the EVER-LIVING came again to me to ask:—
RF EZE 22:2 "Will you now, son of Adam, judge the bloody city, and teach her all her depravities?
RF EZE 22:3 And will you say,—Thus says the Mighty Lord, 'City! You shed blood in your breast, to hasten on your destiny! And you make yourselves idols, to defile yourself!
RF EZE 22:4 You shall perish in the blood that you have shed;—and be defiled by the idols you have made! For you have contracted your days, and brought years upon yourself,—therefore I will make you a scorn to the heathen, and a derision in all countries!
RF EZE 22:5 You shall be named "Many Revolutioned!" both the near and the distant shall deride you!
RF EZE 22:6 Look at your nobles, Israel! Each sheds blood as far as his power goes!
RF EZE 22:7 In you they despise both father and mother. They oppress the stranger in you. In you they wrong the fatherless and the widow!
RF EZE 22:8 You have degraded My Sanctuary,—and profaned My Sabbaths!
RF EZE 22:9 In you men accuse falsely to shed blood, and in you they eat sacrifices to the hills! In you they plan treachery!
RF EZE 22:10 In you a father's shame is disclosed. In you they corrupt women bound by a vow;
RF EZE 22:11 and each commits depravity with his neighbour's wife; and everyone devises to defile his daughter-in-law; and every one has debauched his sister, his father's daughter in you.
RF EZE 22:12 In you bribes are taken to shed blood. You take usury and exorbitant interest; and plunder your neighbour by extortion; and have forgotten Me,"' says the Mighty Lord.
RF EZE 22:13 "Therefore see! I have struck My hands against the plundering you have done; and at the bloodshed which exists amongst you!—
RF EZE 22:14 How can your heart stand, or your hands be strong, at the time when I shall deal with you? I, the EVER-LIVING, have said, and will do it,
RF EZE 22:15 that I would scatter you amongst the heathen, and disperse you in the countries, and eradicate your corruptions from you,
RF EZE 22:16 and make you vile to yourself in the sight of the heathen;—then you will learn that I am the EVER-LIVING."
RF EZE 22:17 The message of the EVER-LIVING again came to me to ask:—
RF EZE 22:18 "Son of Adam! Are the House of Israel dross to Me? They are all copper, and tin, and iron, and lead in a furnace,—they are the refuse of silver!
RF EZE 22:19 Therefore," thus the Mighty Lord said, "because you are all dross, I will pile you into the well of Jerusalem,
RF EZE 22:20 as silver, and copper, and iron, and lead and tin are piled into the well of a furnace, to blow the fire over to melt them. Thus I will pile you in My indignation and fury, and melt you!
RF EZE 22:21 I will melt you thus,—and blow on you with My fiery anger, and dissolve you in the well.
RF EZE 22:22 Like silver is melted in the well of the furnace,—so you shall be melted in that well,—and learn that I, the EVER-LIVING, pour out My wrath upon you."
RF EZE 22:23 Israel's Crimes.
Again the command of the Ever-LIVING came to me to say:—
RF EZE 22:24 "Son of Adam, say to her:—'It is a land not purified, nor rained upon, in the lowering day.
RF EZE 22:25 Her Preachers conspire in her, like a roaring lion desiring to tear his prey. They devour wealth, they seize riches:—they have increased the destitute among you.
RF EZE 22:26 Her priests have violated My laws, and outraged My Sanctuary. They do not distinguish between the consecrated and the common; and do not separate between the pure and the unclean; and have veiled their eyes from My Sabbaths; and I am despised among them.
RF EZE 22:27 Her nobles are like wolves in her breast tearing prey, and pouring out blood, and destroying lives for the sake of plunder;
RF EZE 22:28 and her preachers impel them by silly false visions, and lying divinations,—exclaiming, 'Thus says the Mighty Lord,' when the Lord has not spoken!
RF EZE 22:29 They have oppressed and robbed the people of the country, and grieved the poor and distressed, and wronged the stranger,—refusing justice.
RF EZE 22:30 And I have sought for a man among them to mend the fence, and stand in the gap before Me for the sake of the country, that I might not destroy it;—but I found none!
RF EZE 22:31 So I will pour out My anger upon them,—in the fire of My wrath I will destroy them. On their own heads I have laid their conduct,"' said the Mighty Lord.
