Ezekiel 16:35-59
35Therefore, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: 36Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thy filthinessH5178 was poured outH8210, and thy nakednessH6172 uncoveredH1540 through thy harlotriesH8457 with thy loversH157, and with all the idolsH1544 of thy abominationsH8441, and by the bloodH1818 of thy childrenH1121, which thou didst giveH5414 to them; 37Behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 all thy loversH157, with whom thou hast taken pleasureH6149, and all them that thou hast lovedH157, with all them that thou hast hatedH8130; I will even gatherH6908 them on every sideH5439 against thee, and will uncoverH1540 thy nakednessH6172 to them, that they may seeH7200 all thy nakednessH6172. 38And I will judgeH8199 thee, as women that break wedlockH5003 and shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judgedH4941; and I will giveH5414 thee bloodH1818 in furyH2534 and jealousyH7068.1 39And I will also giveH5414 thee into their handH3027, and they shall throw downH2040 thy eminent placeH1354, and shall break downH5422 thy high placesH7413: they shall stripH6584 thee also of thy clothesH899, and shall takeH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627, and leaveH3240 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181.2 40They shall also bring upH5927 a companyH6951 against thee, and they shall stoneH7275 thee with stonesH68, and thrust thee throughH1333 with their swordsH2719. 41And they shall burnH8313 thy housesH1004 with fireH784, and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon thee in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 womenH802: and I will cause thee to ceaseH7673 from playing the harlotH2181, and thou also shalt giveH5414 no hireH868 any more. 42So will I make my furyH2534 toward thee to restH5117, and my jealousyH7068 shall departH5493 from thee, and I will be quietH8252, and will be no more angryH3707. 43Because thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, but hast provokedH7264 me in all these things ; beholdH1887, therefore I also will recompenseH5414 thy wayH1870 upon thy headH7218, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: and thou shalt not commitH6213 this lewdnessH2154 above all thy abominationsH8441.
44Behold, every one that useth proverbsH4911 shall use this proverbH4911 against thee, sayingH559, As is the motherH517, so is her daughterH1323. 45Thou art thy mother’sH517 daughterH1323, that lothethH1602 her husbandH376 and her childrenH1121; and thou art the sisterH269 of thy sistersH269, who lothedH1602 their husbandsH582 and their childrenH1121: your motherH517 was an HittiteH2850, and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567. 46And thy elderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, she and her daughtersH1323 that dwellH3427 at thy left handH8040: and thy youngerH6996 sisterH269, that dwellethH3427 at thy right handH3225, is SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323.3 47Yet hast thou not walkedH1980 after their waysH1870, nor doneH6213 after their abominationsH8441: but, as if that were a veryH6985 littleH4592H6962 thing, thou wast corruptedH7843 more than theyH2004 in all thy waysH1870.4 48As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 hath not doneH6213, she nor her daughtersH1323, as thou hast doneH6213, thou and thy daughtersH1323. 49Behold, this was the iniquityH5771 of thy sisterH269 SodomH5467, prideH1347, fulnessH7653 of breadH3899, and abundanceH7962 of idlenessH8252 was in her and in her daughtersH1323, neither did she strengthenH2388 the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needyH34. 50And they were haughtyH1361, and committedH6213 abominationH8441 beforeH6440 me: therefore I took them awayH5493 as I sawH7200 good . 51Neither hath SamariaH8111 committedH2398 halfH2677 of thy sinsH2403; but thou hast multipliedH7235 thy abominationsH8441 more than theyH2007, and hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269 in all thy abominationsH8441 which thou hast doneH6213. 52Thou also, who hast judgedH6419 thy sistersH269, bearH5375 thy own shameH3639 for thy sinsH2403 that thou hast committed more abominableH8581 than theyH2004: they are more righteousH6663 than thou: yea, be thou confoundedH954 also, and bearH5375 thy shameH3639, in that thou hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269. 53When I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622, the captivityH7622 of SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, and the captivityH7622 of SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323, then will I bring again the captivityH7622 of thy captivesH7622 in the midstH8432 of them: 54That thou mayest bearH5375 thy own shameH3639, and mayest be confoundedH3637 in all that thou hast doneH6213, in that thou art a comfortH5162 to them. 55When thy sistersH269, SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, shall returnH7725 to their former stateH6927, and SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to their former stateH6927, then thou and thy daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to your former stateH6927. 56For thy sisterH269 SodomH5467 was not mentionedH8052 by thy mouthH6310 in the dayH3117 of thy prideH1347,56 57Before thy wickednessH7451 was discoveredH1540, as at the timeH6256 of thy reproachH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of SyriaH758, and all that are aroundH5439 her, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, who despiseH7590 thee on every sideH5439.78 58Thou hast borneH5375 thy lewdnessH2154 and thy abominationsH8441, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.9 59For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even dealH6213 with thee as thou hast doneH6213, who hast despisedH959 the oathH423 in breakingH6565 the covenantH1285.
