- Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
- "And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
- "You shall say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "A city shedding blood in her midst, so that her time will come, and that makes idols, contrary to her interest, for defilement!
- "You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and defiled by your idols which you have made Thus you have brought your day near and have come to your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mocking to all the lands.
- "Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you of ill repute, full of turmoil.

- The word of the LORD came to me:
- "Son of man, will you judge her? Will you judge this city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her detestable practices
- and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O city that brings on herself doom by shedding blood in her midst and defiles herself by making idols,
- you have become guilty because of the blood you have shed and have become defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close, and the end of your years has come. Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations and a laughingstock to all the countries.
- Those who are near and those who are far away will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.
