Ezekiel 22
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
2 “So, son of man, are you ready to judge them? Are you ready to judge the people of this city that have caused so much bloodshed? Make them face all the disgusting things they've done,
and you(m. s.) son: child man to judge to judge [obj] city [the] blood and to know her [obj] all abomination her
3 and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You are a city who has caused your own doom by murdering people within your walls, and by making idols to worship that made you unclean.

17 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
18 “Son of man, the people of Israel have ended up like the impurities left over from refining metal. They're all like copper, tin, iron, and lead in the furnace—they are just the impurities left from refining silver.

23 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
24 “Son of man, tell the city of Jerusalem, at the time of punishment, you are a country that has not been made clean, a place where no rain has fallen,
