1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, declare thou to her all her iniquities.

— Ezekiel 22:3 —

4in their blood which thou hast shed, thou hast transgressed; and in thy devices which thou hast formed, thou hast polluted thyself; and thou hast brought nigh thy days, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,

5to those near thee, and to those far distant from thee; and they shall mock thee, thou that art notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.
