Ezekiel 16:24-43
24that you builtH1129 yourself a 1shrineH1354 and madeH6213 yourself a 2highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 publicH7339 squareH7339. 25You builtH1129 yourself a highH7413 placeH7413 at the beginningH7218 of 3everyH3605 streetH1870 and madeH8581 your beautyH3308 abominableH8581, and you spreadH6589 your legsH7272 to everyH3605 passer-byH5674 and multipliedH7235 your obsceneH8457 practiceH8457. 26You also committedH2181 prostitutionH2181 with the EgyptiansH1121H4714, your 4lustfulH1320H1432 neighborsH7934, and multipliedH7235 your obsceneH8457 practiceH8457 to 5provokeH3707 Me toH3707 angerH3707. 27So beholdH2009, I have stretchedH5186 outH5186 My handH3027 againstH5921 you and cutH1639 backH1639 your rationsH2706. And I turnedH5414 you overH5414 to the desireH5315 of those who hateH8130 you, the 6daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, who are ashamedH3637 of your outrageousH2154 conductH1870. 28Moreover, you committedH2181 prostitutionH2181 with the 7AssyriansH1121H804 becauseH4480 you were not satisfiedH7654; you committedH2181 prostitutionH2181 with them and stillH1571 wereH7646 not satisfiedH7646. 29You also multipliedH7235 your obsceneH8457 practiceH8457 with the landH776 of merchantsH3667, ChaldeaH3778; yet evenH1571 with thisH2088 you wereH7646 not satisfiedH7646.”’”
30“HowH4100 8feverishH535 is your heartH3826,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “while you doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH4639, the actionH4639 of a 910boldH7989 prostituteH802H2181! 31When you builtH1129 your shrineH1354 at the beginningH7218 of everyH3605 streetH1870 and madeH6213 your highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 publicH7339 squareH7339, in 11spurningH7046 a prostitute’sH868 feeH868, you were not like a prostituteH2181. 32You adulteressH5003 wifeH802, who takesH3947 strangersH2114 insteadH8478 ofH8478 her husbandH376! 33Men giveH5414 giftsH5078 to allH3605 prostitutesH2181, but you 12giveH5414 your giftsH5083 to allH3605 your loversH157 and lavishH7809 favorsH7809 on them so that they will comeH935 to you from everyH5439 directionH5439 for your obsceneH8457 practicesH8457. 34So it is the oppositeH2016 for you from those womenH802 in your obsceneH8457 practicesH8457, in that you are not approachedH2181H310 forH2181 prostitutionH2181, and in the fact that you payH5414 a prostitute’sH868 feeH868, and noH3808 feeH868 is paidH5414 to you; so you are the oppositeH2016.”
35ThereforeH3651, you prostituteH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068. 36ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BecauseH3282 your lewdnessH5179 was pouredH8210 outH8210 and your nakednessH6172 uncoveredH1540 through your obsceneH8457 practicesH8457 with your loversH157 and with allH3605 your detestableH8441 13idolsH1544, and because of the bloodH1818 of your sonsH1121 thatH834 you gaveH5414 to 14idols, 37thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am going to 15gatherH6908 allH3605 your loversH157 whomH834 you pleasedH6149, allH3605 those whomH834 you lovedH157 asH5921 wellH5921 asH5921 allH3605 those whomH834 you 16hatedH8130. So I will gatherH6908 them againstH5921 you from everyH5439 directionH5439 and 17exposeH1540 your nakednessH6172 to them so that they may seeH7200 allH3605 your nakednessH6172. 38So I will 18judgeH8199 you as women who commitH5003 adulteryH5003 or shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judgedH4941; and I will bringH5414 on you the bloodH1818 of 19wrathH2534 and jealousyH7068. 39I will also handH5414H3027 you overH5414 to 20your lovers, and they will tearH2040 downH2040 your shrinesH1354, demolishH5422 your highH7413 placesH7413, 21stripH6584 you of your clothingH899, takeH3947 away your 22jewelsH3627H8597, and will leaveH5117 you nakedH5903 and bareH6181. 40They will 23inciteH5927 a 24crowdH6951 againstH5921 you, and they will stoneH7275H68 you and cutH1333 you toH1333 piecesH1333 with their swordsH2719. 41And they will 25burnH8313 your housesH1004 with fireH784 and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 against you in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 womenH802. Then I will 26putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 to your prostitutionH2181, and you will alsoH1571 noH3808 longerH5750 payH5414 27your loversH868. 42So I 28will satisfyH5117 My furyH2534 against you and My jealousyH7068 will leaveH5493 you, and I will be pacifiedH8252 and 29noH3808 longerH5750 be angryH3707. 43SinceH3282H834 you have 30not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of your youthH5271 but 31have 32causedH7264 Me unrestH7264 by allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428, beholdH1887, I inH1571 turnH1571 will 33bringH5414 your conductH1870 down on your own headH7218,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “so that you will not commitH6213 this outrageousH2154 sinH2154 inH5921 additionH5921 toH5921 allH3605 your other abominationsH8441.
