The word of Adonai came to me saying:
Day and night they make the rounds on her walls. Iniquity and mischief are within her.
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
How the Faithful City became a harlot! She once was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her— but now murderers!
Why cry about your fracture? Your pain has no cure. Because your iniquity is vast, your sins innumerable, I did these things to you.
Ruin, ruin, I will make it a ruin! Even this will not be, until He comes to whom belongs the judgment, and I give it to Him.
“You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? So explain to her all her abominations.
