Ezekiel 22:2-31

22:2

Now, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)_,

wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)

the bloody
<01818>

city
<05892>_?

yea, thou shalt shew
<03045> (8689)

her all her abominations
<08441>_.

{judge: or, plead for} {bloody...: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}

22:3

Then say
<0559> (8804)

thou, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

The city
<05892>

sheddeth
<08210> (8802)

blood
<01818>

in the midst
<08432>

of it, that her time
<06256>

may come
<0935> (8800)_,

and maketh
<06213> (8804)

idols
<01544>

against herself to defile
<02930> (8800)

herself.

22:4

Thou art become guilty
<0816> (8804)

in thy blood
<01818>

that thou hast shed
<08210> (8804)_;

and hast defiled
<02930> (8804)

thyself in thine idols
<01544>

which thou hast made
<06213> (8804)_;

and thou hast caused thy days
<03117>

to draw near
<07126> (8686)_,

and art come
<0935> (8799)

[even] unto thy years
<08141>_:

therefore have I made
<05414> (8804)

thee a reproach
<02781>

unto the heathen
<01471>_,

and a mocking
<07048>

to all countries
<0776>_.

22:5

[Those that be] near
<07138>_,

and [those that be] far
<07350>

from thee, shall mock
<07046> (8691)

thee, [which art] infamous
<02931> <08034>

[and] much
<07227>

vexed
<04103>_.

{infamous...: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation}

22:6

Behold, the princes
<05387>

of Israel
<03478>_,

every one
<0376>

were in thee to their power
<02220>

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_.

{power: Heb. arm}

22:7

In thee have they set light
<07043> (8689)

by father
<01>

and mother
<0517>_:

in the midst
<08432>

of thee have they dealt
<06213> (8804)

by oppression
<06233>

with the stranger
<01616>_:

in thee have they vexed
<03238> (8689)

the fatherless
<03490>

and the widow
<0490>_.

{oppression: or, deceit}

22:8

Thou hast despised
<0959> (8804)

mine holy things
<06944>_,

and hast profaned
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_.

22:9

In thee are men
<0582>

that carry tales
<07400>

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_:

and in thee they eat
<0398> (8804)

upon the mountains
<02022>_:

in the midst
<08432>

of thee they commit
<06213> (8804)

lewdness
<02154>_.

{that...: Heb. of slanders}

22:10

In thee have they discovered
<01540> (8765)

their fathers
<01>_'

nakedness
<06172>_:

in thee have they humbled
<06031> (8765)

her that was set apart
<05079>

for pollution
<02931>_.

22:11

And one
<0376>

hath committed
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>

with his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_;

and another
<0376>

hath lewdly
<02154>

defiled
<02930> (8765)

his daughter in law
<03618>_;

and another
<0376>

in thee hath humbled
<06031> (8765)

his sister
<0269>_,

his father's
<01>

daughter
<01323>_.

{one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}

22:12

In thee have they taken
<03947> (8804)

gifts
<07810>

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_;

thou hast taken
<03947> (8804)

usury
<05392>

and increase
<08636>_,

and thou hast greedily gained
<01214> (8762)

of thy neighbours
<07453>

by extortion
<06233>_,

and hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

22:13

Behold, therefore I have smitten
<05221> (8689)

mine hand
<03709>

at thy dishonest gain
<01215>

which thou hast made
<06213> (8804)_,

and at thy blood
<01818>

which hath been in the midst
<08432>

of thee.

22:14

Can thine heart
<03820>

endure
<05975> (8799)_,

or can thine hands
<03027>

be strong
<02388> (8799)_,

in the days
<03117>

that I shall deal
<06213> (8802)

with thee? I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it], and will do
<06213> (8804)

[it].

22:15

And I will scatter
<06327> (8689)

thee among the heathen
<01471>_,

and disperse
<02219> (8765)

thee in the countries
<0776>_,

and will consume
<08552> (8689)

thy filthiness
<02932>

out of thee.

22:16

And thou shalt take thine inheritance
<02490> (8738) (8676) <05157> (8765)

in thyself in the sight
<05869>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

{shalt take...: or, shalt be profaned}

22:17

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:18

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

is to me become dross
<05509>_:

all they [are] brass
<05178>_,

and tin
<0913>_,

and iron
<01270>_,

and lead
<05777>_,

in the midst
<08432>

of the furnace
<03564>_;

they are [even] the dross
<05509>

of silver
<03701>_.

{dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}

22:19

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because ye are all become dross
<05509>_,

behold, therefore I will gather
<06908> (8802)

you into the midst
<08432>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

22:20

[As] they gather
<06910>

silver
<03701>_,

and brass
<05178>_,

and iron
<01270>_,

and lead
<05777>_,

and tin
<0913>_,

into the midst
<08432>

of the furnace
<03564>_,

to blow
<05301> (8800)

the fire
<0784>

upon it, to melt
<05413> (8687)

[it]; so will I gather
<06908> (8799)

[you] in mine anger
<0639>

and in my fury
<02534>_,

and I will leave
<03240> (8689)

[you there], and melt
<05413> (8689)

you. {As...: Heb. According to the gathering}

22:21

Yea, I will gather
<03664> (8765)

you, and blow
<05301> (8804)

upon you in the fire
<0784>

of my wrath
<05678>_,

and ye shall be melted
<05413> (8738)

in the midst
<08432>

thereof.

22:22

As silver
<03701>

is melted
<02046>

in the midst
<08432>

of the furnace
<03564>_,

so shall ye be melted
<05413> (8714)

in the midst
<08432>

thereof; and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have poured out
<08210> (8804)

my fury
<02534>

upon you.

22:23

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:24

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

say
<0559> (8798)

unto her, Thou [art] the land
<0776>

that is not cleansed
<02891> (8794)_,

nor rained
<01656>

upon in the day
<03117>

of indignation
<02195>_.

22:25

[There is] a conspiracy
<07195>

of her prophets
<05030>

in the midst
<08432>

thereof, like a roaring
<07580> (8802)

lion
<0738>

ravening
<02963> (8802)

the prey
<02964>_;

they have devoured
<0398> (8804)

souls
<05315>_;

they have taken
<03947> (8799)

the treasure
<02633>

and precious things
<03366>_;

they have made her many
<07235> (8689)

widows
<0490>

in the midst
<08432>

thereof.

22:26

Her priests
<03548>

have violated
<02554> (8804)

my law
<08451>_,

and have profaned
<02490> (8762)

mine holy things
<06944>_:

they have put no difference
<0914> (8689)

between the holy
<06944>

and profane
<02455>_,

neither have they shewed
<03045> (8689)

[difference] between the unclean
<02931>

and the clean
<02889>_,

and have hid
<05956> (8689)

their eyes
<05869>

from my sabbaths
<07676>_,

and I am profaned
<02490> (8735)

among
<08432>

them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}

22:27

Her princes
<08269>

in the midst
<07130>

thereof [are] like wolves
<02061>

ravening
<02963> (8802)

the prey
<02964>_,

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_,

[and] to destroy
<06> (8763)

souls
<05315>_,

to get
<01214> (8800)

dishonest gain
<01215>_.

22:28

And her prophets
<05030>

have daubed
<02902> (8804)

them with untempered
<08602>

[morter], seeing
<02374>

vanity
<07723>_,

and divining
<07080> (8802)

lies
<03577>

unto them, saying
<0559> (8802)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

when the LORD
<03068>

hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

22:29

The people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

have used oppression
<06231> (8804) <06233>_,

and exercised
<01497> (8804)

robbery
<01498>_,

and have vexed
<03238> (8689)

the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_:

yea, they have oppressed
<06231> (8804)

the stranger
<01616>

wrongfully
<04941>_.

{oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}

22:30

And I sought
<01245> (8762)

for a man
<0376>

among them, that should make up
<01443> (8802)

the hedge
<01447>_,

and stand
<05975> (8802)

in the gap
<06556>

before
<06440>

me for the land
<0776>_,

that I should not destroy
<07843> (8763)

it: but I found
<04672> (8804)

none.

22:31

Therefore have I poured out
<08210> (8799)

mine indignation
<02195>

upon them; I have consumed
<03615> (8765)

them with the fire
<0784>

of my wrath
<05678>_:

their own way
<01870>

have I recompensed
<05414> (8804)

upon their heads
<07218>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.
