Ezekiel 22:12

Highlighting The Sins And The Judgments Of Israel

¹¹ And, one man, with the wife of his neighbour, hath wrought abomination, And another hath defiled this daughter-in- law by shameful deed, - And another! his own sister daughter of his own father, hath humbled in thee: ¹² Bribes, have they accepted in thee, For the sake of shedding blood,-Interest and increase, hast thou accepted And thou hast overreached thy neighbour by oppression, And me, hast thou forgotten, Declareth My Lord Yahweh. ¹³ Lo! therefore I have smitten my hand, At thine unjust gain which thou hast made - And over thy bloodshed, which they have caused in thy midst.
