3 Then say, Thus says the Lord God: The city sheds blood in her midst, that her time may come, and makes idols against herself to defile herself.
4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed and have defiled yourself with your idols which you have made. And you have caused your day to draw near and have come to your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mocking to all countries.
5 Those who are near and those who are far from you shall mock you, you of infamy and much turmoil.
6 The princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood.
7 In you they have treated father and mother lightly. In your midst they have dealt with the stranger by oppression. In you they have vexed the fatherless and the widow.
8 You have despised My holy things and have profaned My Sabbaths.
9 In you are men who carry slanders to shed blood. And in you they eat at the mountain shrines. In your midst they commit lewdness.
