Ezekiel 22:01-16
Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations and a laughing stock to all the countries.
See how each of the princes of Israel who are in you uses his power to shed blood.
1.In you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the foreigner and mistreated the fatherless and the widow.
2.You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths.
3.In you are those who dishonor their father’s bed; in you are those who violate women during their period, when they are ceremonially unclean.
4.In 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.
5.In 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.
I will put an end to your uncleanness. When you have been defiled[a] in the eyes of the nations, you will know that I am the Lord.
God's people are guilty of blood shed, oppression, extortion, bribery, and sexual sin; they have made a mockery of their religion.
Why?
God described what the Israelite have done, each of it is detestable thing. shed blood and oppress others, and shame the name of the Lord.
Both these are uglyly and destable so the Lord's angry burn down against them.
How?
God is righteousness and full of love, but anyone has sin, no one can stand before the Lord.
