Ezekiel 22:12

Highlighting The Sins And The Judgments Of Israel

¹¹ One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. And another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter. ¹² In you they have taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and profits, and you have injured your neighbors for gain by oppression, and you have forgotten Me,” declares the Lord God. ¹³ “Behold, then, I smite My hand at your dishonest gain which you have acquired and at the bloodshed which is among you.
