^{12 Ref} In thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbors by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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

^{14 Ref} Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.

^{15 Ref} And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries; and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

^{16 Ref} And thou shalt be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
