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.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 22 of Ezekiel. Jerusalem is presented as a bloodshed-filled city whose corruption has made it guilty before God. Its abominations have brought contempt among the nations. The city’s reputation is presented not as honor but as the consequence of conduct that has profaned its identity.

Sprich: So spricht der Herr, HERR: O Stadt, die du der Deinen Blut vergießest, auf daß deine Zeit komme, und die du Götzen bei dir machst, dadurch du dich verunreinigst!
Dirás, pues: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: ¡Ciudad derramadora de sangre en medio de sí, para que venga su hora, y que hizo ídolos contra sí misma para contaminarse!
Di: Así dice el Señor Jehová: ¡Ciudad que derrama sangre en medio de sí misma, haciendo que llegue su hora, y que se hace ídolos para contaminarse!
Tu diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Ville qui répands le sang au milieu de toi, pour que ton jour arrive, et qui te fais des idoles pour te souiller!
Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Il tempo della città che spande il sangue dentro di sè, e che fa degl’idoli contro a sè stessa, per contaminarsi, viene.
E dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Ai da cidade que derrama o sangue no meio de si para que venha o seu tempo! Que faz ídolos contra si mesma, para se contaminar!
你要說,主耶和華如此說:那在其中流人血的城啊,它的時刻已到,它製造偶像玷污了自己。
