Ezekiel 22:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² The people in you take ·money [bribes] to ·kill others [shed blood; Deut. 27:25]. You take ·interest [usury; 18:13, 17; Lev. 25:36] and profits and make profits by ·mistreating [extorting] your neighbor. And you have forgotten me, says the Lord God.

¹³ “‘·So, Jerusalem, [^LLook; ^TBehold] I will ·shake my fist [^Lstrike my hand] at you for ·stealing money [your dishonest gain] and for ·murdering people [bloodshed]. ¹⁴ Will ·you still be brave [^Lyour heart stand] and ·strong [^Lyour hands be strong] when I ·punish [deal with] you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act.
