Ezekiel 22

1Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ (575)

2Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.

וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם הֲתִשְׁפֹּט הֲתִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־עִיר הַדָּמִים וְהֹודַעְתָּהּ אֵת כָּל־תֹּועֲבֹותֶיהָ׃ (4723)

3Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה עִיר שֹׁפֶכֶת דָּם בְּתֹוכָהּ לָבֹוא עִתָּהּ וְעָשְׂתָה גִלּוּלִים עָלֶיהָ לְטָמְאָה׃ (4175)

4Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

בְּדָמֵךְ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁפַכְתְּ אָשַׁמְתְּ וּבְגִלּוּלַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂית טָמֵאת וַתַּקְרִיבִי יָמַיִךְ וַתָּבֹוא עַד־שְׁנֹותָיִךְ עַל־כֵּן נְתַתִּיךְ חֶרְפָּה לַגֹּויִם וְקַלָּסָה לְכָל־הָאֲרָצֹות׃ (8444)

5Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.

הַקְּרֹבֹות וְהָרְחֹקֹות מִמֵּךְ יִתְקַלְּסוּ־בָךְ טְמֵאַת הַשֵּׁם רַבַּת הַמְּהוּמָה׃ (3664)

6Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.

הִנֵּה נְשִׂיאֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ לִזְרֹעֹו הָיוּ בָךְ לְמַעַן שְׁפָךְ־דָּם׃ (2273)

7In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

אָב וָאֵם הֵקַלּוּ בָךְ לַגֵּר עָשׂוּ בַעֹשֶׁק בְּתֹוכֵךְ יָתֹום וְאַלְמָנָה הֹונוּ בָךְ׃ (2419)

8Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

קָדָשַׁי בָּזִית וְאֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַי חִלָּלְתְּ׃ (2820)

9In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

אַנְשֵׁי רָכִיל הָיוּ בָךְ לְמַעַן שְׁפָךְ־דָּם וְאֶל־הֶהָרִים אָכְלוּ בָךְ זִמָּה עָשׂוּ בְתֹוכֵךְ׃ (2550)

10In thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

עֶרְוַת־אָב גִּלָּה־בָךְ טְמֵאַת הַנִּדָּה עִנּוּ־בָךְ׃ (1401)

11And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.

וְאִישׁ ׀ אֶת־אֵשֶׁת רֵעֵהוּ עָשָׂה תֹּועֵבָה וְאִישׁ אֶת־כַּלָּתֹו טִמֵּא בְזִמָּה וְאִישׁ אֶת־אֲחֹתֹו בַת־אָבִיו עִנָּה־בָךְ׃ (5537)

12In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

שֹׁחַד לָקְחוּ־בָךְ לְמַעַן שְׁפָךְ־דָּם נֶשֶׁךְ וְתַרְבִּית לָקַחַתְּ וַתְּבַצְּעִי רֵעַיִךְ בַּעֹשֶׁק וְאֹתִי שָׁכַחַתְּ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ (5715)

13Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

וְהִנֵּה הִכֵּיתִי כַפִּי אֶל־בִּצְעֵךְ אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית וְעַל־דָּמֵךְ אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בְּתֹוכֵךְ׃ (3255)

14Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.

הֲיַעֲמֹד לִבֵּךְ אִם־תֶּחֱזַקְנָה יָדַיִךְ לַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה אֹותָךְ אֲנִי יְהוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי וְעָשִׂיתִי׃ (3829)

15And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

וַהֲפִיצֹותִי אֹותָךְ בַּגֹּויִם וְזֵרִיתִיךְ בָּאֲרָצֹות וַהֲתִמֹּתִי טֻמְאָתֵךְ מִמֵּךְ׃ (3878)

16And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

וְנִחַלְתְּ בָּךְ לְעֵינֵי גֹויִם וְיָדַעַתְּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה׃ (1352)

17And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ (575)
