New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 21
29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies for you-to place you on the necks of the wicked who are slain, whose day has come, in the time of the punishment of the end.
30 Return it to its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.
31 I will pour out My indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and I will give you into the hand of brutal men, skilled in destruction.
32 You will be fuel for the fire; your blood will be in the midst of the land. You will not be remembered, for I, the Lord, have spoken.’"
Ezekiel 22
1 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 "And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 You shall say, ’Thus says the Lord God, "A city shedding blood in her midst, so that her time will come, and that makes idols, contrary to her interest, for defilement!
4 You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and defiled by your idols which you have made. Thus you have brought your day near and have come to your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mocking to all the lands.
5 Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you of ill repute, full of turmoil.
6 "Behold, the rulers of Israel, each according to his power, have been in you for the purpose of shedding blood.
7 They have treated father and mother lightly within you. The alien they have oppressed in your midst; the fatherless and the widow they have wronged in you.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
