Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don't depart from her streets.
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
Why cry you for your hurt? your pain is incurable: for the greatness 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 midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I, the LORD, have spoken it.
You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
