Context
1Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
3Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
4Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
5near, and far from thee, shall mock thee, infamous much vexed.
6Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.
