021:031 I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you
with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand
of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
021:032 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in
the midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered:
for I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
022:001 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
022:002 You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody
city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
022:003 You shall say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A city that
sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come,
and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
022:004 You 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.
022:005 Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you,
you infamous one [and] full of tumult.
022:006 Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power,
have been in you to shed blood.
022:007 In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst
of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner;
in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.

022:009 Slanderous 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.
022:010 In you have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you
have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.

and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another
in you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
022:012 In 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 Yahweh.
022:013 Behold, 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.
022:014 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days
that I shall deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken it,
and will do it.
022:015 I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through
the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
022:016 You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations;
and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
