3 Say, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘City that spills blood in her midst and makes idols for herself that defile—her time has come!
4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have spilled, and are defiled by your idols that you have made. So you have brought your days near, and have come up to your years. Therefore I have made you a disgrace to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.
5 Those near and far from you will mock you—with a defiled name and full of turmoil.’
6 “Behold, each prince of Israel has used his own arm’s strength in you to shed blood.
7 Father and mother have been treated with contempt; the outsider has been oppressed in your midst; the orphan and the widow have been mistreated in you.
8 You have despised My holy things and profaned My Shabbatot.
9 Slanderous men are in you in order to shed blood. They have eaten at the mountain shrines; they commit immoral acts in your midst.
