Ezekiel 22 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

The Sins of Israel

Eze 22:1And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

Eze 22:2'And thou, son of man, dost thou judge? dost thou judge the city of blood? then thou hast caused it to know all its abominations,

Eze 22:3

Eze 22:3and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it hath made idols on it for defilement.

Eze 22:4

Eze 22:4By thy blood that thou hast shed thou hast been guilty, And by thine idols that thou hast made thou hast been defiled, And thou causest thy days to draw near, And art come in unto thine years, Therefore I have given thee a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.

Eze 22:5

Eze 22:5The near and the far-off from thee scoff at thee, O defiled of name -- abounding in trouble.

Eze 22:6

Eze 22:6Lo, princes of Israel -- each according to his arm Have been in thee to shed blood.

Eze 22:7

Eze 22:7Father and mother made light of in thee, To a sojourner they dealt oppressively in thy midst, Fatherless and widow they oppressed in thee.

Eze 22:8

Eze 22:8My holy things thou hast despised, And My sabbaths thou hast polluted.

Eze 22:9

Eze 22:9Men of slander have been in thee to shed blood, And on the mountains they have eaten in thee, Wickedness they have done in thy midst.

Eze 22:10

Eze 22:10The nakedness of a father hath one uncovered in thee, The defiled of impurity they humbled in thee.

Eze 22:11

Eze 22:11And each with the wife of his neighbour hath done abomination, And each his daughter-in-law hath defiled through wickedness, And each his sister, his father's daughter, hath humbled in thee.

Eze 22:12

Eze 22:12A bribe they have taken in thee to shed blood, Usury and increase thou hast taken, And cuttest off thy neighbour by oppression, And Me thou hast forgotten, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!

Eze 22:13

Eze 22:13And lo, I have smitten My hand, Because of thy dishonest gain that thou hast gained, And for thy blood that hath been in thy midst.

Eze 22:14

Eze 22:14Doth thy heart stand -- are thy hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it.

Eze 22:15

Eze 22:15And I have scattered thee among nations, And have spread thee out among lands, And consumed thy uncleanness out of thee.

Eze 22:16

Eze 22:16And thou hast been polluted in thyself Before the eyes of nations, And thou hast known that I am Jehovah.'

Eze 22:17

Eze 22:17And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man,

Eze 22:18

Eze 22:18The house of Israel hath been to Me for dross, All of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace -- dross hath silver been,

Eze 22:19

Eze 22:19Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your all becoming dross, Therefore, lo, I am gathering you unto the midst of Jerusalem,

Eze 22:20

Eze 22:20A gathering of silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, Unto the midst of a furnace -- to blow on it fire, to melt it, So do I gather in Mine anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.

Eze 22:21

Eze 22:21And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And ye have been melted in its midst.

Eze 22:22

Eze 22:22As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So are ye melted in its midst, And ye have known that I, Jehovah, I have poured out My fury upon you.'

Eze 22:23

Eze 22:23And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Eze 22:24

Eze 22:24'Son of man, say to it, Thou art a land, It is not cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation.

Eze 22:25

Eze 22:25A conspiracy of its prophets is in its midst, as a roaring lion tearing prey; The soul they have devoured, Wealth and glory they have taken, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.

Eze 22:26

Eze 22:26Its priests have wronged My law, And they pollute My holy things, Between holy and common they have not made separation, And between the unclean and the clean they have not made known, And from my sabbaths they have hidden their eyes, And I am pierced in their midst.

Eze 22:27

Eze 22:27Its princes in its midst are as wolves, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain.

Eze 22:28

Eze 22:28And its prophets have daubed for them with chalk, Seeing a vain thing, and divining for them a lie, Saying, 'Thus said the Lord Jehovah:' And Jehovah hath not spoken.

Eze 22:29

Eze 22:29The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder violently away, And humble and needy have oppressed, And the sojourner oppressed -- without judgment.

Eze 22:30

Eze 22:30And I seek of them a man making a fence, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land -- not to destroy it, And I have not found.

Eze 22:31

Eze 22:31And I pour out on them mine indignation, By fire of My wrath I have consumed them, Their way on their own head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
