< Ezekiel 22 >

1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
And you O son of humankind ¿ will you judge ¿ will you judge [the] city of blood and you will make known to it all abominations its.
3 You shall say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh O city [which] sheds blood in [the] midst of it to come time its and it has made idols on itself to become unclean.
4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
By blood your which you have shed you have become guilty and by idols your which you have made you have become unclean and you have brought near days your and you [masc] have come to years your there-fore I have made you a reproach to the nations and derision to all the lands.
5 Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
The [nations] nearby and the [nations] far off from you they will deride you O unclean of name O great [one] of turmoil.
6 “‘“Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
Here! [the] princes of Israel each to strength his they have been in you so as to shed blood.
7 In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Amongst you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.

10 In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
[the] nakedness of A father someone has uncovered in you [the] [woman] unclean of the menstruation they have humiliated in you.
11 One has committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.

A bribe they have taken in you so as to shed blood interest and interest you have taken and you have made unjust gain neighbor your by oppression and me you have forgotten [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
13 “‘“Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.
And here! I will strike palm my concerning unjust gain your which you have made and on blood your which they have been in [the] midst of you.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
¿ Will it endure heart your or? will they be strong hands your to the days when I [am] about to deal with with you I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act.
15 I will scatter you amongst the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.
And I will scatter you among the nations and I will disperse you among the lands and I will make an end of uncleanness your from you.
16 You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
And you will be profaned by yourself to [the] eyes of nations and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
17 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
O son of humankind they have become to me [the] house of Israel (dross *Q(K)*) all of them [are] copper and tin and iron and lead in [the] midst of a furnace dross silver they have become.
19 Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because have become all of you dross therefore here I [am] about to gather you into [the] middle of Jerusalem.
20 As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there and melt you.

22 As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.’”
