Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Wickedness is in the middle thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the middle of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? yes, you shall show her all her abominations.
