1. Moreover the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
2. Now, thou ben adam, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the ir hadamim (bloody city)? V'hoda'tah (thou shalt show, make to know, arraign) her all her to'avot (abominations).
3. Then say thou, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem, The Ir has shefach dahm in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh gillulim (idols) against herself to make herself tameh (unclean).
4. Thou art become guilty by thy shefach dahm; and hast made thyself tameh in thine gillulim (idols) which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy shanot (years); therefore have I made thee a cherpah unto the Goyim, and a kallasa (mockery, laughingstock) to all countries.
5. Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock at thee, which art tameh hashem (defiled, unclean of name, reputation) and much in turmoil.
6. Hinei, the nasi'im (rulers) of Yisroel, every one has used his zero'a (arm, power) for shefach dahm in thee.
7. In thee have they treated with contempt av and em in the midst of thee; they have dealt by oshek (oppression) with the ger (alien, proselyte); in thee have they mistreated the yatom and the almanah.
