Ezekiel 22:3-5

Good News Translation

³ Tell the city what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying: Because you have murdered so many of your own people and have defiled yourself by worshiping idols, your time is coming. ⁴ You are guilty of those murders and are defiled by the idols you made, and so your day is coming, your time is up! That is why I have let the nations make fun of you and all the countries sneer at you. ⁵ Countries nearby and countries far away sneer at you because of your lawlessness.
