Ezekiel 22:6

Highlighting The Sins And The Judgments Of Israel

⁵ They who are near and they who are far off from thee shall shew themselves derisive over these, - O thou of impure name, abounding in confusion! ⁶ Lo! the princes of Israel, very man for his own arm, have they been in thee, For the sake of shedding blood. ⁷ Father and mother, have they despised in thee, To the sojourner, have they dealt with oppression in the midst of thee, - The fatherless and the widow, have they maltreated in thee:
