Ezekiel 16:1-63

Again the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
cause Jerusalem
<03389>
to know
<03045> (8685)
her abominations
<08441>_,
And say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_;
Thy birth
<04351>
and thy nativity
<04138>
[is] of the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03669>_;
thy father
<01>
[was] an Amorite
<0567>_,
and thy mother
<0517>
an Hittite
<02850>_.
{birth: Heb. cutting out, or, habitation}
And [as for] thy nativity
<04138>_,
in the day
<03117>
thou wast born
<03205> (8715)
thy navel
<08270>
was not cut
<03772> (8795)_,
neither wast thou washed
<07364> (8795)
in water
<04325>
to supple
<04935>
[thee]; thou wast not salted
<04414> (8717)
at all
<04414> (8715)_,
nor swaddled
<02853> (8795)
at all
<02853> (8715)_.
{to supple...: or, when I looked upon thee}
None eye
<05869>
pitied
<02347> (8804)
thee, to do
<06213> (8800)
any
<0259>
of these unto thee, to have compassion
<02550> (8800)
upon thee; but thou wast cast out
<07993> (8714)
in the open
<06440>
field
<07704>_,
to the lothing
<01604>
of thy person
<05315>_,
in the day
<03117>
that thou wast born
<03205> (8715)_.
And when I passed
<05674> (8799)
by thee, and saw
<07200> (8799)
thee polluted
<0947> (8711)
in thine own blood
<01818>_,
I said
<0559> (8799)
unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood
<01818>_,
Live
<02421> (8798)_;
yea, I said
<0559> (8799)
unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood
<01818>_,
Live
<02421> (8798)_.
{polluted: or, trodden under foot}
I have caused
<05414> (8804)
thee to multiply
<07233>
as the bud
<06780>
of the field
<07704>_,
and thou hast increased
<07235> (8799)
and waxen great
<01431> (8799)_,
and thou art come
<0935> (8799)
to excellent
<05716>
ornaments
<05716>_:
[thy] breasts
<07699>
are fashioned
<03559> (8738)_,
and thine hair
<08181>
is grown
<06779> (8765)_,
whereas thou [wast] naked
<05903>
and bare
<06181>_.
{caused...: Heb. made thee a million} {excellent...: Heb. ornament of ornaments}
Now when I passed
<05674> (8799)
by thee, and looked
<07200> (8799)
upon thee, behold, thy time
<06256>
[was] the time
<06256>
of love
<01730>_;
and I spread
<06566> (8799)
my skirt
<03671>
over thee, and covered
<03680> (8762)
thy nakedness
<06172>_:
yea, I sware
<07650> (8735)
unto thee, and entered
<0935> (8799)
into a covenant
<01285>
with thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
and thou becamest mine.
Then washed
<07364> (8799)
I thee with water
<04325>_;
yea, I throughly washed away
<07857> (8799)
thy blood
<01818>
from thee, and I anointed
<05480> (8799)
thee with oil
<08081>_.
{blood: Heb. bloods}
I clothed
<03847> (8686)
thee also with broidered work
<07553>_,
and shod
<05274> (8799)
thee with badgers' skin
<08476>_,
and I girded
<02280> (8799)
thee about with fine linen
<08336>_,
and I covered
<03680> (8762)
thee with silk
<04897>_.
I decked
<05710> (8799)
thee also with ornaments
<05716>_,
and I put
<05414> (8799)
bracelets
<06781>
upon thy hands
<03027>_,
and a chain
<07242>
on thy neck
<01627>_.
And I put
<05414> (8799)
a jewel
<05141>
on thy forehead
<0639>_,
and earrings
<05694>
in thine ears
<0241>_,
and a beautiful
<08597>
crown
<05850>
upon thine head
<07218>_.
{forehead: Heb. nose}
Thus wast thou decked
<05710> (8799)
with gold
<02091>
and silver
<03701>_;
and thy raiment
<04403>
[was of] fine linen
<08336> (8675) <08336>_,
and silk
<04897>_,
and broidered work
<07553>_;
thou didst eat
<0398> (8804)
fine flour
<05560>_,
and honey
<01706>_,
and oil
<08081>_:
and thou wast exceeding
<03966>
beautiful
<03302> (8799)_,
and thou didst prosper
<06743> (8799)
into a kingdom
<04410>_.
And thy renown
<08034>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
among the heathen
<01471>
for thy beauty
<03308>_:
for it [was] perfect
<03632>
through my comeliness
<01926>_,
which I had put
<07760> (8804)
upon thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
But thou didst trust
<0982> (8799)
in thine own beauty
<03308>_,
and playedst the harlot
<02181> (8799)
because of thy renown
<08034>_,
and pouredst out
<08210> (8799)
thy fornications
<08457>
on every one that passed by
<05674> (8802)_;
his it was.
And of thy garments
<0899>
thou didst take
<03947> (8799)_,
and deckedst
<06213> (8799)
thy high places
<01116>
with divers colours
<02921> (8803)_,
and playedst the harlot
<02181> (8799)
thereupon: [the like things] shall not come
<0935> (8802)_,
neither shall it be [so].
Thou hast also taken
<03947> (8799)
thy fair
<08597>
jewels
<03627>
of my gold
<02091>
and of my silver
<03701>_,
which I had given
<05414> (8804)
thee, and madest
<06213> (8799)
to thyself images
<06754>
of men
<02145>_,
and didst commit whoredom
<02181> (8799)
with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}
And tookest
<03947> (8799)
thy broidered
<07553>
garments
<0899>_,
and coveredst
<03680> (8762)
them: and thou hast set
<05414> (8804)
mine oil
<08081>
and mine incense
<07004>
before
<06440>
them.
My meat
<03899>
also which I gave
<05414> (8804)
thee, fine flour
<05560>_,
and oil
<08081>_,
and honey
<01706>_,
[wherewith] I fed
<0398> (8689)
thee, thou hast even set
<05414> (8804)
it before
<06440>
them for a sweet
<05207>
savour
<07381>_:
and [thus] it was, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
{a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest}
Moreover thou hast taken
<03947> (8799)
thy sons
<01121>
and thy daughters
<01323>_,
whom thou hast borne
<03205> (8804)
unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed
<02076> (8799)
unto them to be devoured
<0398> (8800)_.
[Is this] of thy whoredoms
<08457>
a small matter
<04592>_,
{to be...: Heb. to devour}
That thou hast slain
<07819> (8799)
my children
<01121>_,
and delivered
<05414> (8799)
them to cause them to pass through
<05674> (8687)
[the fire] for them?
And in all thine abominations
<08441>
and thy whoredoms
<08457>
thou hast not remembered
<02142> (8804)
the days
<03117>
of thy youth
<05271>_,
when thou wast naked
<05903>
and bare
<06181>_,
[and] wast polluted
<0947> (8711)
in thy blood
<01818>_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
all thy wickedness
<07451>_,
(woe
<0188>_,
woe
<0188>
unto thee! saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>;)
[That] thou hast also built
<01129> (8799)
unto thee an eminent place
<01354>_,
and hast made
<06213> (8799)
thee an high place
<07413>
in every street
<07339>_.
{eminent...: or, brothel house}
Thou hast built
<01129> (8804)
thy high place
<07413>
at every head
<07218>
of the way
<01870>_,
and hast made thy beauty
<03308>
to be abhorred
<08581> (8762)_,
and hast opened
<06589> (8762)
thy feet
<07272>
to every one that passed by
<05674> (8802)_,
and multiplied
<07235> (8686)
thy whoredoms
<08457>_.
Thou hast also committed fornication
<02181> (8799)
with the Egyptians
<01121> <04714>
thy neighbours
<07934>_,
great
<01432>
of flesh
<01320>_;
and hast increased
<07235> (8686)
thy whoredoms
<08457>_,
to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_.
Behold, therefore I have stretched out
<05186> (8804)
my hand
<03027>
over thee, and have diminished
<01639> (8799)
thine ordinary
<02706>
[food], and delivered
<05414> (8799)
thee unto the will
<05315>
of them that hate
<08130> (8802)
thee, the daughters
<01323>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
which are ashamed
<03637> (8737)
of thy lewd
<02154>
way
<01870>_.
{daughters: or, cities}
Thou hast played the whore
<02181> (8799)
also with the Assyrians
<01121> <0804>_,
because
<01115>
thou wast unsatiable
<07646> (8804)_;
yea, thou hast played the harlot
<02181> (8799)
with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied
<07654>_.
Thou hast moreover multiplied
<07235> (8686)
thy fornication
<08457>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
unto Chaldea
<03778>_;
and yet thou wast not satisfied
<07646> (8804)
herewith
<02063>_.
How weak
<0535> (8802)
is thine heart
<03826>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
seeing thou doest
<06213> (8800)
all these [things], the work
<04639>
of an imperious
<07986>
whorish
<02181> (8803)
woman
<0802>_;
In that thou buildest
<01129> (8800)
thine eminent place
<01354>
in the head
<07218>
of every way
<01870>_,
and makest
<06213> (8804)
thine high place
<07413>
in every street
<07339>_;
and hast not been as an harlot
<02181> (8802)_,
in that thou scornest
<07046> (8763)
hire
<0868>_;
{In that thou buildest...: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc}
[But as] a wife
<0802>
that committeth adultery
<05003> (8764)_,
[which] taketh
<03947> (8799)
strangers
<02114> (8801)
instead of her husband
<0376>_!
They give
<05414> (8799)
gifts
<05078>
to all whores
<02181> (8802)_:
but thou givest
<05414> (8804)
thy gifts
<05083>
to all thy lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
and hirest
<07809> (8799)
them, that they may come
<0935> (8800)
unto thee on every side
<05439>
for thy whoredom
<08457>_.
{hirest: Heb. bribest}
And the contrary
<02016>
is in thee from [other] women
<0802>
in thy whoredoms
<08457>_,
whereas none followeth
<0310>
thee to commit whoredoms
<02181> (8795)_:
and in that thou givest
<05414> (8800)
a reward
<0868>_,
and no reward
<0868>
is given
<05414> (8738)
unto thee, therefore thou art
<01961> (8799)
contrary
<02016>_.
Wherefore, O harlot
<02181> (8802)_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because thy filthiness
<05178>
was poured out
<08210> (8736)_,
and thy nakedness
<06172>
discovered
<01540> (8735)
through thy whoredoms
<08457>
with thy lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
and with all the idols
<01544>
of thy abominations
<08441>_,
and by the blood
<01818>
of thy children
<01121>_,
which thou didst give
<05414> (8804)
unto them;
Behold, therefore I will gather
<06908> (8764)
all thy lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
with whom thou hast taken pleasure
<06149> (8804)_,
and all [them] that thou hast loved
<0157> (8804)_,
with all [them] that thou hast hated
<08130> (8804)_;
I will even gather
<06908> (8765)
them round about
<05439>
against thee, and will discover
<01540> (8765)
thy nakedness
<06172>
unto them, that they may see
<07200> (8804)
all thy nakedness
<06172>_.
And I will judge
<08199> (8804)
thee, as women that break wedlock
<05003> (8802)
and shed
<08210> (8802)
blood
<01818>
are judged
<04941>_;
and I will give
<05414> (8804)
thee blood
<01818>
in fury
<02534>
and jealousy
<07068>_.
{as: Heb. with judgments of}
And I will also give
<05414> (8804)
thee into their hand
<03027>_,
and they shall throw down
<02040> (8804)
thine eminent place
<01354>_,
and shall break down
<05422> (8765)
thy high places
<07413>_:
they shall strip
<06584> (8689)
thee also of thy clothes
<0899>_,
and shall take
<03947> (8804)
thy fair
<08597>
jewels
<03627>_,
and leave
<03240> (8689)
thee naked
<05903>
and bare
<06181>_.
{thy fair...: Heb. instruments of thine ornament}
They shall also bring up
<05927> (8689)
a company
<06951>
against thee, and they shall stone
<07275> (8804)
thee with stones
<068>_,
and thrust thee through
<01333> (8765)
with their swords
<02719>_.
And they shall burn
<08313> (8804)
thine houses
<01004>
with fire
<0784>_,
and execute
<06213> (8804)
judgments
<08201>
upon thee in the sight
<05869>
of many
<07227>
women
<0802>_:
and I will cause thee to cease
<07673> (8689)
from playing the harlot
<02181> (8802)_,
and thou also shalt give
<05414> (8799)
no hire
<0868>
any more.
So will I make my fury
<02534>
toward thee to rest
<05117> (8689)_,
and my jealousy
<07068>
shall depart
<05493> (8804)
from thee, and I will be quiet
<08252> (8804)_,
and will be no more angry
<03707> (8799)_.
Because thou hast not remembered
<02142> (8804)
the days
<03117>
of thy youth
<05271>_,
but hast fretted
<07264> (8799)
me in all these [things]; behold
<01887>_,
therefore I also will recompense
<05414> (8804)
thy way
<01870>
upon [thine] head
<07218>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_:
and thou shalt not commit
<06213> (8804)
this lewdness
<02154>
above all thine abominations
<08441>_.
Behold, every one that useth proverbs
<04911> (8802)
shall use [this] proverb
<04911> (8799)
against thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
As [is] the mother
<0517>_,
[so is] her daughter
<01323>_.
Thou [art] thy mother's
<0517>
daughter
<01323>_,
that lotheth
<01602> (8802)
her husband
<0376>
and her children
<01121>_;
and thou [art] the sister
<0269>
of thy sisters
<0269>_,
which lothed
<01602> (8804)
their husbands
<0582>
and their children
<01121>_:
your mother
<0517>
[was] an Hittite
<02850>_,
and your father
<01>
an Amorite
<0567>_.
And thine elder
<01419>
sister
<0269>
[is] Samaria
<08111>_,
she and her daughters
<01323>
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
at thy left hand
<08040>_:
and thy younger
<06996>
sister
<0269>_,
that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
at thy right hand
<03225>_,
[is] Sodom
<05467>
and her daughters
<01323>_.
{thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou}
Yet hast thou not walked
<01980> (8804)
after their ways
<01870>_,
nor done
<06213> (8804)
after their abominations
<08441>_:
but, as [if that were] a very
<06985>
little
<04592> <06962> (8804)
[thing], thou wast corrupted
<07843> (8686)
more than they
<02004>
in all thy ways
<01870>_.
{as if...: or, that was lothed as a small thing}
[As] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
Sodom
<05467>
thy sister
<0269>
hath not done
<06213> (8804)_,
she nor her daughters
<01323>_,
as thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_,
thou and thy daughters
<01323>_.
Behold, this was the iniquity
<05771>
of thy sister
<0269>
Sodom
<05467>_,
pride
<01347>_,
fulness
<07653>
of bread
<03899>_,
and abundance
<07962>
of idleness
<08252> (8687)
was in her and in her daughters
<01323>_,
neither did she strengthen
<02388> (8689)
the hand
<03027>
of the poor
<06041>
and needy
<034>_.
And they were haughty
<01361> (8799)_,
and committed
<06213> (8799)
abomination
<08441>
before
<06440>
me: therefore I took them away
<05493> (8686)
as I saw
<07200> (8804)
[good].
Neither hath Samaria
<08111>
committed
<02398> (8804)
half
<02677>
of thy sins
<02403>_;
but thou hast multiplied
<07235> (8686)
thine abominations
<08441>
more than they
<02007>_,
and hast justified
<06663> (8762)
thy sisters
<0269>
in all thine abominations
<08441>
which thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_.
Thou also, which hast judged
<06419> (8765)
thy sisters
<0269>_,
bear
<05375> (8798)
thine own shame
<03639>
for thy sins
<02403>
that thou hast committed more abominable
<08581> (8689)
than they
<02004>_:
they are more righteous
<06663> (8799)
than thou: yea, be thou confounded
<0954> (8798)
also, and bear
<05375> (8798)
thy shame
<03639>_,
in that thou hast justified
<06663> (8763)
thy sisters
<0269>_.
When I shall bring again
<07725> (8804)
their captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>_,
the captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>
of Sodom
<05467>
and her daughters
<01323>_,
and the captivity
<07622> (8676) <07622>
of Samaria
<08111>
and her daughters
<01323>_,
then [will I bring again] the captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>
of thy captives
<07622>
in the midst
<08432>
of them:
That thou mayest bear
<05375> (8799)
thine own shame
<03639>_,
and mayest be confounded
<03637> (8738)
in all that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_,
in that thou art a comfort
<05162> (8763)
unto them.
When thy sisters
<0269>_,
Sodom
<05467>
and her daughters
<01323>_,
shall return
<07725> (8799)
to their former estate
<06927>_,
and Samaria
<08111>
and her daughters
<01323>
shall return
<07725> (8799)
to their former estate
<06927>_,
then thou and thy daughters
<01323>
shall return
<07725> (8799)
to your former estate
<06927>_.
For thy sister
<0269>
Sodom
<05467>
was not mentioned
<08052>
by thy mouth
<06310>
in the day
<03117>
of thy pride
<01347>_,
{mentioned: Heb. for a report, or, hearing} {pride: Heb. prides, or, excellencies}
Before thy wickedness
<07451>
was discovered
<01540> (8735)_,
as at the time
<06256>
of [thy] reproach
<02781>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Syria
<0758>_,
and all [that are] round about
<05439>
her, the daughters
<01323>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
which despise
<07590> (8801)
thee round about
<05439>_.
{Syria: Heb. Aram} {despise: or, spoil}
Thou hast borne
<05375> (8804)
thy lewdness
<02154>
and thine abominations
<08441>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{borne: Heb. borne them}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
I will even deal
<06213> (8804)
with thee as thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_,
which hast despised
<0959> (8804)
the oath
<0423>
in breaking
<06565> (8687)
the covenant
<01285>_.
Nevertheless I will remember
<02142> (8804)
my covenant
<01285>
with thee in the days
<03117>
of thy youth
<05271>_,
and I will establish
<06965> (8689)
unto thee an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>_.
Then thou shalt remember
<02142> (8804)
thy ways
<01870>_,
and be ashamed
<03637> (8738)_,
when thou shalt receive
<03947> (8800)
thy sisters
<0269>_,
thine elder
<01419>
and thy younger
<06996>_:
and I will give
<05414> (8804)
them unto thee for daughters
<01323>_,
but not by thy covenant
<01285>_.
And I will establish
<06965> (8689)
my covenant
<01285>
with thee; and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:
That thou mayest remember
<02142> (8799)_,
and be confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
and never open
<06610>
thy mouth
<06310>
any more because
<06440>
of thy shame
<03639>_,
when I am pacified
<03722> (8763)
toward thee for all that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
