Ezekiel 16:35-59
35ThereforeH3651, O harlot, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah.
36ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Because thy money hath been pouredH8210 out, and thy nakednessH6172 discovered through thy fornications with thy loversH157, and with all the idolsH1544 of thine abominationsH8441, and because of the bloodH1818 of thy children which thou didst giveH5414 unto them;
37thereforeH3651, behold, I will gatherH6908 all thy loversH157 with whom thou hast takenH1540 pleasure, and all that thou hast lovedH157, with all that thou hast hatedH8130, — I will even gatherH6908 them roundH5439 about against thee, and will discover thy nakednessH6172 unto them, that they may seeH7200 all thy nakednessH6172.
38And I will judgeH8199 thee with the judgmentsH4941 of women that commitH5003 adulteryH5003 and shedH8210 bloodH1818; and I will giveH5414 thee up to the bloodH1818 of fury and jealousyH7068;
39and I will giveH5414 thee into their handH3027, and they shall throw down thy place of debauchery, and shall breakH2040 down thy highH7413 places; and they shall stripH6584 thee of thy garmentsH899, and shall takeH3947 thy fair jewels, and leave thee nakedH5903 and bare.
40And they shall bringH5927 up an assemblage against thee, and they shall stoneH68 thee with stonesH68, and thrust thee through with their swordsH2719.
41And they shall burnH8313 thy housesH1004 with fireH784, and execute judgmentsH8201 upon thee in the sight of manyH7227 womenH802; and I will cause thee to ceaseH7673 from being a harlot, and thou alsoH1571 shalt giveH5414 no more any reward.
42And I will appease my fury against thee, and my jealousyH7068 shall departH5493 from thee; and I will be quietH8252, and will be no moreH4480 angryH3707.
43Because thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, but hast raged against me in all these [thingsH428], behold, therefore, I alsoH1571 will recompense thy wayH1870 upon [thy] headH7218, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, and thou shalt not commit this lewdness besides all thine abominationsH8441.
44Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall speak in a proverb against thee, sayingH559, As the motherH517, [so is] her daughterH1323!
45Thou art the daughterH1323 of thy motherH517 that loathed her husbandH376 and her children; and thou art the sisterH269 of thy sistersH269, who loathed their husbandsH376 and their children. Your motherH517 was a HittiteH2850, and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567.
46And thine elder sisterH269 is SamariaH8111 that dwelleth at thy left handH3225, she and her daughtersH1323; and thy youngerH6996 sisterH269, that dwelleth at thy rightH3225 handH3225, is SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323.
47And thou hast not walkedH1980 in their waysH1870, nor done according to their abominationsH8441; but as though that were a very littleH4592, thou hast been more corruptH7843 than they in all thy waysH1870.
48[As] I live, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 hath not done, she nor her daughtersH1323, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughtersH1323!
49Behold, this wasH1961 the iniquityH5771 of thy sisterH269 SodomH5467: prideH1347, fulness of breadH3899, and careless easeH7962 wasH1961 in her and in her daughtersH1323, but she did not strengthenH2388 the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
50And they were haughty, and committed abominationH8441 before me, and I took them awayH5493 whenH834 I sawH7200 [it].
51And SamariaH8111 hath not sinnedH2398 according to the halfH2677 of thy sinsH2398; but thou hast multipliedH7235 thine abominationsH8441 more than they, and hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269 by all thine abominationsH8441 which thou hast done.
52Thou alsoH1571, who hast judged thy sistersH269, bearH5375 thine own confusion, because of thy sinsH2403 in which thou hast actedH8581 moreH4480 abominablyH8581 than they: they are moreH4480 righteousH6663 than thou. So be thou ashamedH954 alsoH1571, and bearH5375 thy confusion, in that thou hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269.
53And I will bringH7725 again their captivityH7622, the captivityH7622 of SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, and the captivityH7622 of SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323, and the captivityH7622 of thy captivesH7628 in the midstH8432 of them;
54that thou mayest bearH5375 thy confusion, and mayest be confounded for all that thou hast done, in that thou comfortest them.
55And thy sistersH269, SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, shall returnH7725 to their formerH6927 estate, and SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to their formerH6927 estate; thou also and thy daughtersH1323, ye shall returnH7725 to your formerH6927 estate.
56Yea, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 wasH1961 not mentioned by thy mouthH6310 in the dayH3117 of thy prideH1347,
57before thy wickednessH7451 was discovered, as at the timeH6256 of the reproachH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of Syria, and of all that are roundH5439 about her, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, who despise thee on every side.
58Thy lewdness and thine abominationsH8441, thou bearest them, saith Jehovah.
59For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despisedH959 the oathH423, and brokenH6565 the covenantH1285.
