9 In Jerusalem, people tell lies in order to kill innocent people. They go to the mountains to worship false gods and then come back to Jerusalem to eat their fellowship meals. “‘In Jerusalem, people commit many sexual sins.
10 There men commit sexual sins with their father’s wife. There the men rape women—even during their monthly time of bleeding.
11 One man commits a terrible sin against his own neighbor’s wife. Another man has sex with his daughter-in-law and makes her unclean. Another man rapes his father’s daughter—his very own sister.
12 There men accept bribes to kill people. You lend money and charge interest on the loans. You cheat your neighbors just to make a little money. You have even forgotten me.’ This is what the Lord GOD said.
13 “‘Now look! I will slam my hand down and stop you! I will punish you for cheating and killing people.
14 Will you be brave then? Will you be strong at the time I come to punish you? I am the Lord. I have spoken, and I will do what I said!
15 I will scatter you among the nations. I will force you to go to many countries. I will completely destroy the filthy things in this city.
