Ezekiel 22:12

Highlighting The Sins And The Judgments Of Israel

¹¹ One man within you commits a detestable act with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his father’s daughter. ¹² People who live in you accept bribes in order to shed blood. You take interest and profit on a loan and brutally extort your neighbors. You have forgotten Me.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. ¹³ “Now look, I clap My hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.
