1 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 You, son of man, will you judge? will you judge the city of bloodshed? Then make known all its abominations,
3 and say: Thus says the Lord God: O city that sheds blood within itself so that its time has come, that has made idols for its own defilement:
4 By the blood you shed you have become guilty, and by the idols you made you have become defiled. You have brought on your day, you have come to the end of your years. Therefore I make you an object of scorn for the nations and a laughingstock for all lands.
5 Those near and those far off will mock you: “Defiled of Name! Queen of Tumult!”
