6 Look, Israel’s princes, every one of them, have joined forces to shed blood in you.
7 In you they treat father and mother with contempt. In you they oppress immigrants and deny the rights of orphans and widows.
8 You despise my holy things and degrade my sabbaths.
9 In you slanderers show up to shed blood. In you they eat on the mountains. In you they do obscene things.
10 In you a father’s nakedness is uncovered. In you menstruating women are violated.
11 Every man engages in detestable practices with his neighbor’s wife, every man defiles his daughter-in-law with obscene acts, and every man violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
12 In you they take bribes to shed blood. You collect interest and fees, you profit by extorting your neighbor, and you neglect even me! This is what the Lord God says.
