Destruction of the Wicked
9 The voice of the Lord cries to the city—
and it is sound wisdom to fear (A)your name:
“Hear of (B)the rod and of him who appointed it![a]
10 Can I forget any longer the treasures[b] of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and the scant measure that is accursed?
11 Shall I acquit the man (C)with wicked scales
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Your[c] rich men are (D)full of violence;
your inhabitants (E)speak lies,
and (F)their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

(G)They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and (H)they have disregarded my Sabbaths, (I)so that I am profaned among them. 27 (J)Her princes in her midst are like wolves (K)tearing the prey, (L)shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain. 28 And (M)her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, (N)seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken. 29 The people of the land (O)have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy, and (P)have extorted from the sojourner without justice. 30 (Q)And I sought for a man among them (R)who should build up the wall (S)and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. 31 Therefore (T)I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned (U)their way upon their heads, declares the Lord God.”

(H)Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all the countries. 5 Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you; (I)your name is defiled; (J)you are full of tumult.
6 “Behold, (K)the princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood. 7 Father and mother (L)are treated with contempt in you; the sojourner (M)suffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow (N)are wronged in you. 8 (O)You have despised my holy things and (P)profaned my Sabbaths. 9 (Q)There are men in you who slander to shed blood, and people in you (R)who eat on the mountains; (S)they commit lewdness in your midst. 10 In you (T)men uncover their fathers' nakedness; in you they violate women who are unclean in their menstrual impurity. 11 (U)One commits abomination with his neighbor's wife; (V)another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; (W)another in you violates his sister, his father's daughter. 12 In you (X)they take bribes to shed blood; (Y)you take interest and profit[b] and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; but (Z)me you have forgotten, declares the Lord God.
13 “Behold, (AA)I strike my hand at (AB)the dishonest gain that you have made, and at (AC)the blood that has been in your midst. 14 (AD)Can your courage endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you?

6 And he said to me, “Son of man, (A)do you see what they are doing, (B)the great abominations that the house of Israel are committing here, (C)to drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see still greater abominations.”
7 And he brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, there was a hole in the wall. 8 Then he said to me, “Son of man, (D)dig in the wall.” So I dug in the wall, and behold, there was an entrance. 9 And he said to me, “Go in, and see (E)the vile abominations that they are committing here.” 10 So I went in and saw. And there, (F)engraved on the wall all around, was (G)every form of (H)creeping things and loathsome beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel. 11 And before them stood (I)seventy men of (J)the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah the son of (K)Shaphan standing among them. Each had his censer in his hand, and (L)the smoke of the cloud of incense went up. 12 Then he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing (M)in the dark, each (N)in his room of pictures? For they say, (O)‘The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land.’” 13 He said also to me, (P)“You will see still greater abominations that they commit.”
14 Then he brought me to (Q)the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. 15 Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, O (R)son of man? (S)You will see still greater abominations than these.”

7 Then he brought me to the entrance to the court. I looked, and I saw a hole in the wall. 8 He said to me, “Son of man, now dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there.
9 And he said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here.” 10 So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls(C) all kinds of crawling things and unclean(D) animals and all the idols of Israel.(E) 11 In front of them stood seventy elders(F) of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing among them.

26 For wicked men are found among my people;
(B)they lurk like fowlers lying in wait.[a]
(C)They set a trap;
they catch men.
27 Like a cage full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;
therefore they have become great and rich;
28 (D)they have grown fat and sleek.
They know no bounds in deeds of evil;
(E)they judge not with justice
the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper,
and they do not defend the rights of the needy.
29 (F)Shall I not punish them for these things?
declares the Lord,
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?”
30 An appalling and (G)horrible thing
has happened in the land:
31 (H)the prophets prophesy falsely,
and the priests rule at their direction;
(I)my people love to have it so,
but what will you do when the end comes?
