1. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2. Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? yea, you shall show her all her abominations.
3. Then say you, Thus says the Lord GOD, The city sheds blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and makes idols within herself to defile herself.
4. You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed; and have defiled yourself in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even unto your years: therefore have I made you a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all countries.
