1
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me, saying,H559
2
SonH1121 of man,H120 cause JerusalemH3389 to knowH3045 her abominations,H8441
3
And say,H559 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to Jerusalem;H3389 Your birthH4351 and your nativityH4138 is of the landH776 of Canaan;H3667 your fatherH1 was an Amorite,H567 and your motherH517 an Hittite.H2850
4
And as for your nativity,H4138 in the dayH3117 you were bornH3205 your navelH8270 was not cut,H3772 neitherH3808 were you washedH7364 in waterH4325 to suppleH4935 you; you were not saltedH4414 at all, norH3808 swaddledH2853 at all.
5
NoneH3808 eyeH5869 pitiedH2347 you, to doH6213 anyH259 of theseH428 to you, to have compassionH2550 on you; but you were castH7993 out in the openH6440 field,H7704 to the loathingH1604 of your person,H5315 in the dayH3117 that you were born.H3205
6
And when I passedH5674 by you, and sawH7200 you pollutedH947 in your own blood,H1818 I saidH559 to you when you were in your blood,H1818 Live;H2421 yes, I saidH559 to you when you were in your blood,H1818 Live.H2421
7
I have causedH5414 you to multiplyH7233 as the budH6779 of the field,H7704 and you have increasedH7235 and waxen great,H1431 and you are comeH935 to excellentH5716 ornaments:H5716 your breastsH7699 are fashioned,H3559 and your hairH8181 is grown,H6779 whereas you were nakedH5903 and bore.H6181
8
Now when I passedH5674 by you, and lookedH7200 on you, behold,H2009 your timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of love;H1730 and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 overH5921 you, and coveredH3680 your nakedness:H6172 yes, I sworeH7650 to you, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with you, saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD,H3069 and you becameH1961 mine.
9
Then washedH7364 I you with water;H4325 yes, I thoroughly washedH7857 away your bloodH1818 from you, and I anointedH5480 you with oil.H8081
10
I clothedH3847 you also with broideredH7553 work,H7553 and shodH5274 you with badgers'H8476 skin, and I girdedH2280 you about with fine linen,H8336 and I coveredH3680 you with silk.H4897
11
I deckedH5710 you also with ornaments,H5716 and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 on your hands,H3027 and a chainH7242 onH5921 your neck.H1627
12
And I putH5414 a jewelH5141 onH5921 your forehead,H639 and earringsH5694 in your ears,H241 and a beautifulH8597 crownH5850 on your head.H7218
13
Thus were you deckedH5710 with goldH2091 and silver;H3701 and your raimentH4403 was of fine linen,H8336 and silk,H4897 and broideredH7553 work;H7553 you did eatH398 fine flour,H5560 and honey,H1706 and oil:H8081 and you were exceedingH3966 beautiful,H3303 and you did prosperH6743 into a kingdom.H4410
14
And your renownH8034 wentH3318 forthH3318 among the heathenH1471 for your beauty:H3308 for it was perfectH3632 through my comeliness,H1926 whichH834 I had putH7760 on you, saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
15
But you did trustH982 in your own beauty,H3308 and played the harlotH2181 becauseH5921 of your renown,H8034 and pouredH8210 out your fornicationsH8457 on everyH3605 one that passedH5674 by; his it was.
16
And of your garmentsH899 you did take,H3947 and deckedH6213 your highH1116 places with diversH2921 colors,H2921 and played the harlotH2181 thereupon: the like things shall not come,H935 neitherH3808 shall it be so.
17
You have also takenH3947 your fairH8597 jewelsH3627 of my goldH2091 and of my silver,H3701 whichH834 I had givenH5414 you, and madeH6213 to yourself imagesH6754 of men,H2145 and did commitH2181 prostitutionH2181 with them,
18
And tookH3947 your broideredH7553 garments,H899 and covered them: and you have setH5414 my oilH8081 and my incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them.
19
My meatH3899 also whichH834 I gaveH5414 you, fine flour,H5560 and oil,H8081 and honey,H1706 with which I fedH398 you, you have even setH5414 it beforeH6440 them for a sweetH5207 smell:H7381 and thus it was, saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
20
Moreover you have takenH3947 your sonsH1121 and your daughters,H1323 whomH834 you have borneH3205 to me, and these have you sacrificedH2076 to them to be devoured.H398 Is this of your prostitutionsH8457 a smallH4592 matter,
21
That you have slainH7819 my children,H1121 and deliveredH5414 them to cause them to passH5674 through the fire for them?
22
And in allH3605 your abominationsH8441 and your prostitutionsH8457 you have not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of your youth,H5271 when you wereH1961 nakedH5903 and bore,H6181 and wereH1961 pollutedH947 in your blood.H1818
23
And it cameH1961 to pass afterH310 allH3605 your wickedness,H7451 (woe,H188 woeH188 to you! saidH5002 the LORDH136 GOD;H3069)
24
That you have also builtH1129 to you an eminentH1354 place, and have madeH6213 you an highH7413 place in everyH3605 street.H7339
25
You have builtH1129 your highH7413 place atH413 everyH3605 headH7218 of the way,H1870 and have made your beautyH3308 to be abhorred,H8581 and have openedH6589 your feetH7272 to everyH3605 one that passedH5674 by, and multipliedH7235 your prostitutions.H8457
26
You have also committedH2181 fornicationH2181 with the EgyptiansH4714 your neighbors,H7934 greatH1432 of flesh;H1320 and have increasedH7235 your prostitutions,H8457 to provoke me to anger.H3707
27
Behold,H2009 therefore I have stretchedH5186 out my handH3027 overH5921 you, and have diminishedH1639 your ordinaryH2706 food, and deliveredH5414 you to the willH5315 of them that hateH8130 you, the daughtersH1323 of the Philistines,H6430 which are ashamedH3637 of your lewdH2154 way.H1870
28
You have played the whoreH2181 also with the Assyrians,H1121 H804 becauseH1115 you were insatiable;H1115 H7654 yes, you have played the harlotH2181 with them, and yet could not be satisfied.H7646
29
You have moreover multipliedH7235 your fornicationH8457 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to Chaldea;H3778 and yetH1571 you were not satisfiedH7646 therewith.H2063
30
HowH4100 weakH535 is your heart,H3826 saidH5002 the LORDH136 GOD,H3069 seeing you doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things, the workH4639 of an imperiousH7986 whorishH2181 woman;H802
31
In that you buildH1129 your eminentH1354 place in the headH7218 of everyH3605 way,H1870 and makeH6213 your highH7413 place in everyH3605 street;H7339 and have not beenH1961 as an harlot,H2181 in that you scornH7046 hire;H868
32
But as a wifeH802 that commitsH5003 adultery,H5003 which takesH3947 strangersH2114 insteadH8478 of her husband!H376
33
They giveH5414 giftsH5078 to allH3605 whores:H2181 but you giveH5414 your giftsH5083 to allH3605 your lovers,H157 and hireH7809 them, that they may comeH935 to you on everyH5437 sideH5439 for your prostitution.H8457
34
And the contraryH2016 is in you from other womenH802 in your prostitutions,H8457 whereas noneH3808 followsH310 you to commitH2181 prostitutions:H2181 and in that you giveH5414 a reward,H868 and noH3808 rewardH868 is givenH5414 to you, therefore you are contrary.H2016
35
Why,H3651 O harlot,H2181 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORD:H3068
36
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 BecauseH3282 your filthinessH5178 was pouredH8210 out, and your nakednessH6172 discoveredH1540 through your prostitutionsH8457 with your lovers,H157 and with allH3605 the idolsH1544 of your abominations,H8441 and by the bloodH1818 of your children,H1121 whichH834 you did giveH5414 to them;
37
Behold,H2005 thereforeH3651 I will gatherH6908 allH3605 your lovers,H157 with whomH834 you have taken pleasure,H6149 and allH3605 them that you have loved,H157 with allH3605 them that you have hated;H8130 I will even gatherH6908 them roundH5439 about againstH5921 you, and will discoverH1540 your nakednessH6172 to them, that they may seeH7200 allH3605 your nakedness.H6172
38
And I will judgeH8199 you, as women that breakH5003 wedlockH5003 and shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judged;H4941 and I will giveH5414 you bloodH1818 in furyH2534 and jealousy.H7068
39
And I will also giveH5414 you into their hand,H3027 and they shall throwH2040 downH2040 your eminentH1354 place, and shall breakH5422 downH5422 your highH7413 places: they shall stripH6584 you also of your clothes,H899 and shall takeH3947 your fairH8597 jewels,H3627 and leaveH5117 you nakedH5903 and bore.H6181
40
They shall also bringH5927 up a companyH6951 againstH5921 you, and they shall stoneH7275 you with stones,H68 and thrustH1333 you through with their swords.H2719
41
And they shall burnH8313 your housesH1004 with fire,H784 and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on you in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 women:H802 and I will cause you to ceaseH7673 from playing the harlot,H2181 and you alsoH1571 shall giveH5414 noH3808 hireH868 any more.H5750
42
So will I make my furyH2534 toward you to rest,H5117 and my jealousyH7068 shall departH5493 from you, and I will be quiet,H8252 and will be noH3808 moreH5750 angry.H3707
43
BecauseH3282 H834 you have not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of your youth,H5271 but have frettedH7264 me in allH3605 theseH428 things; behold,H1887 therefore I alsoH1571 will recompenseH5414 your wayH1870 on your head,H7218 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD:H3069 and you shall not commitH6213 this lewdnessH2154 aboveH5921 allH3605 your abominations.H8441
44
Behold,H2009 everyH3605 one that uses proverbsH4911 shall useH4911 this proverbH4911 againstH5921 you, saying,H559 As is the mother,H517 so is her daughter.H1323
45
You are your mother'sH517 daughter,H1323 that lothesH1602 her husbandH376 and her children;H1121 and you are the sisterH269 of your sisters,H269 whichH834 loathedH1602 their husbandsH582 and their children:H1121 your motherH517 was an Hittite,H2850 and your fatherH1 an Amorite.H567
46
And your elderH1419 sisterH269 is Samaria,H8111 she and her daughtersH1323 that dwellH3427 atH5921 your leftH8040 hand:H8040 and your youngerH6996 sister,H269 that dwellsH3427 at your rightH3225 hand,H3225 is SodomH5467 and her daughters.H1323
47
Yet have you not walkedH1980 after their ways,H1870 nor doneH6213 after their abominations:H8441 but, as if that were a veryH6985 littleH4592 thing, you were corruptedH7843 more than they in allH3605 your ways.H1870
48
As I live,H2416 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD,H3069 SodomH5467 your sisterH269 has not done,H6213 she nor her daughters,H1323 as you have done,H6213 you and your daughters.H1323
49
Behold,H2009 thisH2088 was the iniquityH5771 of your sisterH269 Sodom,H5467 pride,H1347 fullnessH7653 of bread,H3899 and abundanceH7962 of idlenessH8252 was in her and in her daughters,H1323 neitherH3808 did she strengthenH2388 the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needy.H34
50
And they were haughty,H1361 and committedH6213 abominationH8441 beforeH6440 me: therefore I tookH5493 them awayH5493 as I sawH7200 good.
51
NeitherH3808 has SamariaH8111 committedH2398 halfH2677 of your sins;H2403 but you have multipliedH7235 your abominationsH8441 more than they, and have justifiedH6663 your sistersH269 in allH3605 your abominationsH8441 whichH834 you have done.H6213
52
You also,H1571 whichH834 have judgedH6419 your sisters,H269 bearH5375 your own shameH3639 for your sinsH2403 that you have committedH8581 more abominableH8581 than they: they are more righteousH6663 than you: yes,H1571 be you confoundedH954 also,H1571 and bearH5375 your shame,H3639 in that you have justifiedH6663 your sisters.H269
53
When I shall bringH7725 againH7725 their captivity,H7622 the captivityH7622 of SodomH5467 and her daughters,H1323 and the captivityH7622 of SamariaH8111 and her daughters,H1323 then will I bring again the captivityH7622 of your captivesH7628 in the middleH8432 of them:
54
That you may bearH5375 your own shame,H3639 and may be confoundedH3637 in allH3605 that you have done,H6213 in that you are a comfortH5162 to them.
55
When your sisters,H269 SodomH5467 and her daughters,H1323 shall returnH7725 to their formerH6927 estate, and SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to their formerH6927 estate, then you and your daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to your formerH6927 estate.
56
For your sisterH269 SodomH5467 was not mentionedH8052 by your mouthH6310 in the dayH3117 of your pride,H1347
57
BeforeH2962 your wickednessH7451 was discovered,H1540 as at the timeH6256 of your reproachH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of Syria,H758 and allH3605 that are roundH5439 about her, the daughtersH1323 of the Philistines,H6430 which despiseH7590 you roundH5439 about.
58
You have borneH5375 your lewdnessH2154 and your abominations,H8441 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
59
For thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 I will even dealH6213 with you as you have done,H6213 whichH834 have despisedH959 the oathH423 in breakingH6565 the covenant.H1285
60
Nevertheless I will rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with you in the daysH3117 of your youth,H5271 and I will establishH6965 to you an everlastingH5769 covenant.H1285
61
Then you shall rememberH2142 your ways,H1870 and be ashamed,H3637 when you shall receiveH3947 your sisters,H269 your elderH1419 and your younger:H6996 and I will giveH5414 them to you for daughters,H1323 but not by your covenant.H1285
62
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with you; and you shall knowH3045 that I am the LORD:H3068
63
That you may remember,H2142 and be confounded,H954 and neverH3808 openH6610 your mouthH6310 any moreH5750 becauseH6440 of your shame,H3639 when I am pacifiedH3722 toward you for allH3605 that you have done,H6213 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
