3. and say: Thus says the Lord God: O city that sheds blood within itself so that its time has come, that has made idols for its own defilement:
4. By the blood you shed you have become guilty, and by the idols you made you have become defiled. You have brought on your day, you have come to the end of your years. Therefore I make you an object of scorn for the nations and a laughingstock for all lands.
5. Those near and those far off will mock you: “Defiled of Name! Queen of Tumult!”
6. See! the princes of Israel within you use their power to shed blood.
7. Within you, father and mother are dishonored; they extort the resident alien in your midst; within you, they oppress orphans and widows.
8. What I consider holy you have rejected, and my sabbaths you have desecrated.
9. In you are those who slander to cause bloodshed; within you are those who feast on the mountains; in your midst are those whose actions are depraved.
