1 耶和华的话又临到我说：
2 "人子啊， 你要审判吗？你要审判这流人血的城吗？你要使这城知道它一切可憎的事。
3 你要说： ‘主耶和华这样说： 这城中有流人血的事， 它制造偶像， 玷污自己， 以致它受审判的时候来到。
4 因你流了人的血， 你就有罪了； 因你做了偶像， 你就玷污了自己； 这样， 你使你受罚的日子临近， 遭报的年日来到， 我使你成为列国辱骂、列邦讥笑的对象。
5 你这混乱喧嚷、名被玷污的城啊！ 那些离你近的和离你远的， 都必讥笑你。
6 看哪！ 以色列的领袖们恃着自己的能力， 在你里面流人的血。
7 在你里面轻视父母的； 在你中间有压迫寄居的和欺负孤儿寡妇的。
8 你藐视了我的圣物， 亵渎了我的安息日。
9 在你里面有好谗谤的人， 他们要流人的血； 在你的山上吃祭肉； 又在你中间行淫乱的事。
10 在你里面有暴露父亲下体的； 有污辱在经期中不洁的妇人的。
11 在你里面， 这人与邻舍的妻子行可憎的事； 那人行淫乱， 玷污自己的儿媳； 还有人污辱自己的同胞姊妹。
12 在你里面有接受贿赂而流人血的； 你借钱给人， 收取利息， 并且多要； 你用欺压手段向你的邻舍榨取不义之财； 你更忘记了我。这是主耶和华的宣告。
13 "‘看哪！ 因你所得的不义之财， 又因在你中间所流的血， 我就拍掌。
14 到了我惩治你的日子， 你的心还能受得住吗？你的手还有力吗？我耶和华说了， 就必实行。
15 我要把你分散在列国， 四散在万邦； 我要从你中间消除你的污秽。
16 你在列国眼前被玷污的时候， 你就知道我是耶和华。’"
17 耶和华的话临到我说：
18 "人子啊！ 以色列家在我看来已成了渣滓； 他们都是炉中的铜、锡、铁和铅； 就是银的渣滓。
19 因此， 主耶和华这样说： ‘你们既然都成了渣滓， 所以， 我要把你们集合在耶路撒冷城中。
20 人怎样把银、铜、铁、铅、锡， 集合在炉中， 吹火使它们熔化， 我也照样在我的怒气、我的烈怒中， 把你们集合起来， 放在城中， 使你们熔化。
21 我必集合你们， 把我烈怒的火吹在你们身上， 你们就必在城中熔化。
22 银子怎样在炉中熔化， 你们也必照样在城中熔化； 你们就知道我耶和华把我的烈怒倒在你身上。’"
23 耶和华的话临到我说：
24 "人子啊！ 你要对这地说： ‘在忿怒的日子， 你是没有雨水（"没有雨水"这译法根据古译本， 原文作"未得洁净"）， 没有甘霖之地’。
25 其中的先知叛逆， 像吼叫的狮子撕碎猎物； 他们把人吞吃， 抢夺财物和珍宝， 使其中寡妇的数目增多。
26 这地的祭司违反我的律法， 亵渎我的圣物； 他们不分别圣俗， 也不教导人分辨什么是洁净的和不洁净的， 又掩目不理我的安息日， 以致我在他们中间被亵渎。
27 其中的官长好像撕碎猎物的豺狼， 流人的血， 灭人的命， 为要得不义之财。
28 这地的先知用灰泥给他们粉刷墙壁， 为他们见虚假的异象， 行骗人的占卜， 说： ‘主耶和华这样说’， 其实当时耶和华并没有说话。
29 这地的人民常常欺压人， 惯行抢掠， 亏待困苦穷乏的人， 毫无公理地去欺压寄居的人。
30 我在他们中间寻找一人重修墙垣， 在我面前为这地站在破口之处， 使我不毁灭这地， 我却找不到一个。
31 所以我把我的忿怒倒在他们身上， 用我烈怒之火消灭他们， 把他们所行的报应在他们的头上。这是主耶和华的宣告。"
1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations. 3 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her! 4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. 5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one and full of tumult.
6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood. 7 In thee have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the sojourner; in thee have they wronged the fatherless and the widow. 8 Thou hast despised my holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths. 9 Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood; and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness. 10 In thee have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in thee have they humbled her that was unclean in her impurity. 11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter. 12 In thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbors by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
13 Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee. 14 Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it. 15 And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries; and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee. 16 And thou shalt be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
17 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 18 Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross unto me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver. 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20 As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you. 21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof. 22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my wrath upon you.
23 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. 25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof. 26 Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain. 28 And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, when Jehovah hath not spoken. 29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yea, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully. 30 And I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none. 31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
