Ezekiel 22 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Eze 22:3You shall say, Thus says the Lord GOD: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
Eze 22:4You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and are come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.

Eze 22:6Behold, the princes of Yisra'el, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.

Eze 22:8You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Shabbatot.
Eze 22:9Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.
Eze 22:10In you have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
Eze 22:11One has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Eze 22:12In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
Eze 22:13Behold, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
Eze 22:14Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
Eze 22:15I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.

Eze 22:17The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 22:18Son of man, the house of Yisra'el is become dross to me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
Eze 22:19Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Yerushalayim.
Eze 22:20As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
Eze 22:21Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst of it.
Eze 22:22As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be melted in the midst of it; and you shall know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.

Eze 22:24Son of man, tell her, You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.

Eze 22:26Her Kohanim have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Shabbatot, and I am profaned among them.
Eze 22:27Her princes in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
