“In you,
They uncover
Their fathers’ nakedness.
In you,
They violate women
In their menstrual period.
One commits abomination
With his neighbor’s wife.
Another lewdly defiles
His daughter-in-law.
Another in you,
Defiles his sister,
His father’s daughter.
In you,
They take bribes
To shed blood.
You take both
Advance interest
With accrued increase.
You make gain
Of your neighbors
By extortion.
You have forgotten me.’
Says Yahweh God.”
There was a lot of violence and lewd brutal sexual behavior in Jerusalem. They uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. They violated women in their menstrual period. They performed some sort of abomination with their neighbor’s wife. They defiled their daughters-in-law. They even defiled their sisters, the daughter’s of their father. Besides all this lewd behavior, they took bribes to kill other people. They also took both advance and accrued interest. They exploited their neighbors with extortion. Perhaps, most grievous of all was that they had forgotten Yahweh, their God.
