The word of God comes to Ezekiel asking: Will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Declare to her all her abominations, directing the prophet to catalog Jerusalem's comprehensive wickedness. The city is identified first by its violence—the shedding of blood—establishing murder as the archetypal sin. The prophet's double obligation to judge establishes the severity of required indictment.
