- Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
- Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
- Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
- Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
- Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.

- 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.
