Gen Z: Ezekiel 22
1Yo, the Lord hit me up, saying,
2Ayo, son of man, you gonna judge this bloody city? For real, show her all her sus moves.
3Say this, "The Lord God said, this city’s spilling blood like it’s nothing, and making idols that just defile her, no cap."
4You guilty of the blood you shed, fam; you’ve defiled yourself with those idols you made, and your days are running out, so I made you a joke to the nations, periodt.
5Those close and far from you gonna roast you, ‘cause you infamous and mad vexed.
6Look, the leaders of Israel were all about that bloodshed power in you.
7They’ve dissed their moms and dads, treated strangers like trash, and messed with the fatherless and widows in you.
8You’ve straight-up hated my holy stuff and dissed my sabbaths, fr.
9In you, there are peeps who spill blood for gossip, and they feast on the mountains while committing all kinds of wildness in you.
10They’ve exposed their dads’ nakedness in you; they’ve humiliated the one set apart for pollution.
11Some peeps are wildin' with their neighbor's wifey, others are just sus with their fam, like fr, what’s good?
12You’ve been taking bribes to spill blood, stacking cash off your homies, and forgot about me, says the Lord God.
13Yo, I’m calling out your shady moves and the blood on your hands, it’s not a good look.
14Can you even handle the heat when I pull up on you? I'm the Lord, and I’m serious about this.
15I'ma scatter you like confetti among the nations and clean out your dirty vibes.
16You’ll claim your spot in front of the nations and know I’m the Lord, no cap.
17And then the Lord hit me up, saying,
18Yo, Israel's become trash to me; they’re just a mix of metal in the furnace, straight up dross.
19So, the Lord God says, since you’ve all turned to trash, I’m gathering you right in Jerusalem.
20Just like they scoop up metal to melt, I’m gathering you in my anger and fury, and you’re gonna feel it.
21Bet, I’m gonna gather you and blow up on you with my wrath, and you’ll be melted like butter in the heat.
22Just like silver melts in the furnace, you’ll be melted too; you’ll know it’s me, the Lord, pouring out my fury on you.
23And the word of the Lord slid into my DMs, saying,
24Yo, son of man, tell her she’s the land that’s all sus, not cleansed or getting any rain during this anger.
25There’s a conspiracy of her prophets in the mix, like savage lions going after their prey; they’ve devoured souls, taken the good stuff, and made a bunch of widows.
26Her priests have totally dissed my law and made my holy things profane; they can’t tell holy from unholy, and they’ve turned a blind eye to my sabbaths, so I’m being dissed among them.
27Her leaders are like wolves going after the prey, shedding blood and destroying souls for some shady gains.
28And her prophets are out here slapping them with cheap mortar, seeing nothing but vanity, and lying to them, saying, “Thus saith the Lord God,” when the Lord didn’t even say that.
29The people in the land are straight-up oppressing, robbing, and messing with the poor and needy; they’ve been wrongfully oppressing strangers too.
30And I was looking for a real one among them to stand in the gap for the land so I wouldn’t destroy it, but I found no one.
31So I’m totally done with them; my anger’s been lit like a fire, and they got what’s coming to them, no cap, says the Lord God.
