Ezekiel 5:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ “This is what the Almighty Lord says: This is Jerusalem! I have placed it in the center of the nations with countries all around it. ⁶ The people of Jerusalem have rebelled against my rules and my laws more than the surrounding nations. They have rejected my rules, and they don’t live by my laws.

⁷ “So this is what the Almighty Lord says: ⌞People of Jerusalem,⌟ you have caused more trouble than the nations around you. You haven’t lived by my laws or obeyed my rules. You haven’t even lived up to the standards of the nations around you.
