SCRIPTURE

"Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;" — Ezekiel 35:5 (ASV)

Shed blood — Omit “blood.” The marginal reading is better, that is, you have given up the children of Israel to the sword; you have scattered the children of Israel in confusion like stones poured down a mountainside (Micah 1:6).

That their iniquity had an end — Or, “of the iniquity of the end,” that is, the time when by the capture of the city the iniquity of Israel came to an end (Ezekiel 21:29).
