22:1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

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

3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord God, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come (586 B.C.), and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

4 Thou 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 even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

5 Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.

6 Behold, the (Gemini) princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.

7 In thee have they set light by (Gemini) father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the (Gemini) fatherless and the widow.

8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

9 In thee are (Gemini) men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

10 In thee have they (Gemini) discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution (red radius line coitus).

11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife (red radius adultery); and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law (red radius incest); and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter (red radius incest).

12 In thee have they (Gemini) taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God.

13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken it, and will do it (586 B.C.).

15 And I will scatter thee among the (Gemini) heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will (solar) consume thy filthiness out of thee (586 B.C.) .

16 And thou shalt take thine (gold solar) inheritance in thyself in the sight of the (Gemini) heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

17 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

18 Son of man, the house of Israel (Gemini) is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the (solar) furnace; they are even the dross of (lunar) silver.

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

20 As they gather (lunar) silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the (solar) furnace, to (red radius bellows) blow the (solar) fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.

21 Yea, I will gather you, and (red radius bellows) blow upon you in the (solar) fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.

22 As (lunar) silver is melted in the midst of the (solar) furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my (solar) fury upon you.

23 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

25 There is a conspiracy of her (Gemini) prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring (Argo) lion ravening the prey; they have devoured (Gemini) souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many (Gemini) widows in the midst thereof.

26 Her (Gemini) priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my (weekly and annual) sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

27 Her (Gemini) princes in the midst thereof are like wolves (Canis Minor & Canis Major) ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

28 And her (Gemini) prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.

29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none (red radius line through Orion and Auriga).

31 Therefore have I (red radius line) poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the (solar) fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God.

Diseases, famine, enemies, in us no change have wrought,
What before we were, we are; still in the same snare caught:
No time can our corrupted manners mend,
In vice we dwell, in sin that hath no end. -- Marius Victor
