Ezekiel 22:8

Read in context

Ezekiel 22:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.

7 Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are oppressed.

8 You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.

9 Among you are slanderous men bent on bloodshed; within you are those who eat on the mountain shrines and commit acts of indecency.

10 In you they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers; in you they violate women during their menstrual impurity.
