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.
 

22:3 city sheddeth blood. The city of Jerusalem, representing all Judah, with its kings and priests most guilty of all, had repeatedly been guilty of bloodshed—in the sacrificing of children to idols, in judicial executions of its prophets, and in its rebellion against the Babylonians (II Kings 21:16; 23:37; 24:9; 24:19; Matthew 23:37; etc.).
