Ezekiel 22:11-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
11And one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, another has outrageously defiled his daughter-in-law, and another among you has sexually abused his sister, his father’s daughter. 12Among you they have taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest, you have injured your neighbors by oppression, and you have forgotten Me,' declares the Lord God.
13Behold, then, I strike with My hand your profit which you have made and the bloodshed which is among you.
14Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong for the days that I will deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken and will act.
15And I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you among the lands, and I will eliminate your uncleanness from you.
16Then you will defile yourself in the sight of the nations, and you will know that I am the Lord.'?’?'
King James Version
Chapter 22
11And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter. 12In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD. 13Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee. 14Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it. 15And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. 16And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
11One man within you commits a detestable act with his neighbor's wife; another defiles his daughter-in-law with depravity; and yet another violates his sister, his father's daughter. 12People who live in you accept bribes in order to shed blood. You take interest and profit on a loan and brutally extort your neighbors. You have forgotten me. This is the declaration of the Lord God.
13" 'Now look, I clap my hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.
14Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the days when I deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act.
15I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you among the countries; I will purge your uncleanness.
16You will be profaned in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the Lord.' "
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
11Within your walls live men who commit adultery with their neighbors’ wives, who defile their daughters-in-law, or who rape their own sisters. 12There are hired murderers, loan racketeers, and extortioners everywhere. They never even think of me and my commands, says the Sovereign Lord.
13But now I clap my hands in indignation over your dishonest gain and bloodshed.
14How strong and courageous will you be in my day of reckoning? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I said.
15I will scatter you among the nations and purge you of your wickedness.
16And when I have been dishonored among the nations because of you, you will know that I am the Lord.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
11One commits abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; another in you violates his sister, his father’s daughter. 12In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take interest and profit and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; but me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
13“Behold, I strike my hand at the dishonest gain that you have made, and at the blood that has been in your midst.
14Can your courage endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it.
15I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the countries, and I will consume your uncleanness out of you.
16And you shall be profaned by your own doing in the sight of the nations, and you shall know that I am the LORD.”
New International Version
Chapter 22
11In you one man commits a detestable offense with his neighbor's wife, another shamefully defiles his daughter-in-law, and another violates his sister, his own father's daughter. 12In you are people who accept bribes to shed blood; you take interest and make a profit from the poor. You extort unjust gain from your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, declares the Sovereign LORD.
13'I will surely strike my hands together at the unjust gain you have made and at the blood you have shed in your midst.
14Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it.
15I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you through the countries; and I will put an end to your uncleanness.
16When you have been defiled in the eyes of the nations, you will know that I am the LORD.''
