Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? yea, thou shalt shewH3045 her all her abominationsH8441. {judge: or, plead for} {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}
Then sayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, The cityH5892 sheddethH8210 bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of it, that her timeH6256 may comeH935, and makethH6213 idolsH1544 against herself to defileH2930 herself.
Thou art become guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210; and hast defiledH2930 thyself in thine idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to draw nearH7126, and art comeH935 even unto thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH5414 thee a reproachH2781 unto the heathenH1471, and a mockingH7048 to all countriesH776.
Those that be nearH7138, and those that be farH7350 from thee, shall mockH7046 thee, which art infamousH2931+H8034 and muchH7227 vexedH4103. {infamous…: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation}
Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 were in thee to their powerH2220 to shedH8210 bloodH1818. {power: Heb. arm}
In thee have they set lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517: in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealtH6213 by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they vexedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. {oppression: or, deceit}
Thou hast despisedH959 mine holy thingsH6944, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
In thee are menH582 that carry talesH7400 to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they eatH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they commitH6213 lewdnessH2154. {that…: Heb. of slanders}
In thee have they discoveredH1540 their fathers'H1 nakednessH6172: in thee have they humbledH6031 her that was set apartH5079 for pollutionH2931.
And oneH376 hath committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802; and anotherH376 hath lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his daughter in lawH3618; and anotherH376 in thee hath humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father'sH1 daughterH1323. {one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}
In thee have they takenH3947 giftsH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 usuryH5392 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gainedH1214 of thy neighboursH7453 by extortionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Behold, therefore I have smittenH5221 mine handH3709 at thy dishonest gainH1215 which thou hast madeH6213, and at thy bloodH1818 which hath been in the midstH8432 of thee.
Can thine heartH3820 endureH5975, or can thine handsH3027 be strongH2388, in the daysH3117 that I shall dealH6213 with thee? I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and will doH6213 it.
And I will scatterH6327 thee among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 thee in the countriesH776, and will consumeH8552 thy filthinessH2932 out of thee.
And thou shalt take thine inheritanceH2490+H5157 in thyself in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {shalt take…: or, shalt be profaned}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is to me become drossH5509: all they are brassH5178, and tinH913, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are even the drossH5509 of silverH3701. {dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye are all become drossH5509, behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 you into the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389.
As they gatherH6910 silverH3701, and brassH5178, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, and tinH913, into the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 upon it, to meltH5413 it; so will I gatherH6908 you in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will leaveH3240 you there, and meltH5413 you. {As…: Heb. According to the gathering}
Yea, I will gatherH3664 you, and blowH5301 upon you in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shall be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof.
As silverH3701 is meltedH2046 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, so shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have poured outH8210 my furyH2534 upon you.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto her, Thou art the landH776 that is not cleansedH2891, nor rainedH1656 upon in the dayH3117 of indignationH2195.
There is a conspiracyH7195 of her prophetsH5030 in the midstH8432 thereof, like a roaringH7580 lionH738 raveningH2963 the preyH2964; they have devouredH398 soulsH5315; they have takenH3947 the treasureH2633 and precious thingsH3366; they have made her manyH7235 widowsH490 in the midstH8432 thereof.
Her priestsH3548 have violatedH2554 my lawH8451, and have profanedH2490 mine holy thingsH6944: they have put no differenceH914 between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, neither have they shewedH3045 difference between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and have hidH5956 their eyesH5869 from my sabbathsH7676, and I am profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964, to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, to getH1214 dishonest gainH1215.
And her prophetsH5030 have daubedH2902 them with untemperedH8602 morter, seeingH2374 vanityH7723, and diviningH7080 liesH3577 unto them, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, when the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696.
The peopleH5971 of the landH776 have used oppressionH6231+H6233, and exercisedH1497 robberyH1498, and have vexedH3238 the poorH6041 and needyH34: yea, they have oppressedH6231 the strangerH1616 wrongfullyH4941. {oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}
And I soughtH1245 for a manH376 among them, that should make upH1443 the hedgeH1447, and standH5975 in the gapH6556 beforeH6440 me for the landH776, that I should not destroyH7843 it: but I foundH4672 none.
Therefore have I poured outH8210 mine indignationH2195 upon them; I have consumedH3615 them with the fireH784 of my wrathH5678: their own wayH1870 have I recompensedH5414 upon their headsH7218, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.

And he sawH7200 that there was no manH376, and wonderedH8074 that there was no intercessorH6293: therefore his armH2220 brought salvationH3467 unto him; and his righteousnessH6666, it sustainedH5564 him.
Ye have not gone upH5927 into the gapsH6556, neither made upH1443 the hedgeH1447 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to standH5975 in the battleH4421 in the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068. {gaps: or, breaches} {made…: Heb. hedged the hedge}
And I lookedH5027, and there was none to helpH5826; and I wonderedH8074 that there was none to upholdH5564: therefore mine own armH2220 brought salvationH3467 unto me; and my furyH2534, it upheldH5564 me.
And AbrahamH85 drew nearH5066, and saidH559, Wilt thou also destroyH5595 the righteousH6662 withH5973 the wickedH7563?
Peradventure there beH3426 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892: wilt thou also destroyH5595 and not spareH5375 the placeH4725 forH4616 the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that are thereinH7130?
That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 after this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563: and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563, that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199 of all the earthH776 doH6213 rightH4941?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, If I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will spareH5375 all the placeH4725 for their sakes.
And AbrahamH85 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136, whichH595 am but dustH6083 and ashesH665:
Peradventure there shall lackH2637 fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662: wilt thou destroyH7843 all the cityH5892 for lack of fiveH2568? And he saidH559, If I findH4672 there fortyH705 and fiveH2568, I will not destroyH7843 it.
And he spakeH1696 unto him yet againH3254, and saidH559, Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it for forty'sH705 sake.
And he saidH559 unto him, OhH4994 let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696: Peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not doH6213 it, if I findH4672 thirtyH7970 there.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136: Peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for twenty'sH6242 sake.
And he saidH559, Oh let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696 yetH389 but this onceH6471: Peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for ten'sH6235 sake.
Run ye to and froH7751 through the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, and seeH7200 now, and knowH3045, and seekH1245 in the broad placesH7339 thereof, if ye can findH4672 a manH376, if there beH3426 any that executethH6213 judgmentH4941, that seekethH1245 the truthH530; and I will pardonH5545 it.
Now therefore let me aloneH3240, that my wrathH639 may wax hotH2734 against them, and that I may consumeH3615 them: and I will makeH6213 of thee a greatH1419 nationH1471.
And MosesH4872 besoughtH2470+H6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, LORDH3068, why doth thy wrathH639 wax hotH2734 against thy peopleH5971, which thou hast brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581, and with a mightyH2389 handH3027? {the LORD: Heb. the face of the LORD}
Wherefore should the EgyptiansH4714 speakH559, and sayH559, For mischiefH7451 did he bringH3318 them out, to slayH2026 them in the mountainsH2022, and to consumeH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127? TurnH7725 from thy fierceH2740 wrathH639, and repentH5162 of this evilH7451 against thy peopleH5971.
RememberH2142 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, thy servantsH5650, to whom thou swarestH7650 by thine own self, and saidstH1696 unto them, I will multiplyH7235 your seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and all this landH776 that I have spokenH559 of will I giveH5414 unto your seedH2233, and they shall inheritH5157 it for everH5769.
And the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451 which he thoughtH1696 to doH6213 unto his peopleH5971.
