They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.

Then 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.

Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!

Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!

Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.

And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
