Ezekiel 16:1 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came unto me, saying,5592 Son1121 of man,120 cause Jerusalem3389 to know3045 her abominations,84413 And say,559 Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto Jerusalem;3389 Thy birth4351{Heb. cutting out, or habitation} and thy nativity4138is of the land776 of Canaan;3669 thy father1was an Amorite,567 and thy mother517 an Hittite.28504 And asfor thy nativity,4138 in the day3117 thou wast born3205 thy navel8270 was not cut,3772 neither wast thou washed7364 in water4325 to supple4935thee;{Or, when I looked upon thee} thou wast not salted4414 at all,4414 nor swaddled2853 at all.28535 None eye5869 pitied2347 thee, to do6213 any259 of these unto thee, to have compassion2550 upon thee; but thou wast cast out7993 in the open6440 field,7704 to the lothing1604 of thy person,5315 in the day3117 that thou wast born.3205
Ezekiel 16:6 And when I passed5674 by thee, and saw7200 thee polluted947{Or, trodden under foot} in thine own blood,1818 I said559 unto thee whenthouwast in thy blood,1818 Live;2421 yea, I said559 unto thee whenthouwast in thy blood,1818 Live.24217 I have caused5414 thee to multiply7233{Heb. made thee a million} as the bud6780 of the field,7704 and thou hast increased7235 and waxen great,1431 and thou art come935 to excellent5716 ornaments:5716{Heb. ornaments of ornaments}thy breasts7699 are fashioned,3559 and thine hair8181 is grown,6779 whereas thou wast naked5903 and bare.61818 Now when I passed5674 by thee, and looked7200 upon thee, behold, thy time6256was the time6256 of love;1730 and I spread6566 my skirt3671 over thee, and covered3680 thy nakedness:6172 yea, I sware7650 unto thee, and entered935 into a covenant1285 with thee, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 and thou becamest mine.
9 Then washed7364 I thee with water;4325 yea, I throughly washed away7857 thy blood1818{Heb. bloods} from thee, and I anointed5480 thee with oil.808110 I clothed3847 thee also with broidered work,7553 and shod5274 thee with badgers' skin,8476 and I girded2280 thee about with fine linen,8336 and I covered3680 thee with silk.489711 I decked5710 thee also with ornaments,5716 and I put5414 bracelets6781 upon thy hands,3027 and a chain7242 on thy neck.162712 And I put5414 a jewel5141 on thy forehead,639{Heb. nose} and earrings5694 in thine ears,241 and a beautiful8597 crown5850 upon thine head.721813 Thus wast thou decked5710 with gold2091 and silver;3701 and thy raiment4403wasof fine linen,83368336 and silk,4897 and broidered work;7553 thou didst eat398 fine flour,5560 and honey,1706 and oil:8081 and thou wast exceeding3966 beautiful,3302 and thou didst prosper6743 into a kingdom.441014 And thy renown8034 went forth3318 among the heathen1471 for thy beauty:3308 for it was perfect3632 through my comeliness,1926 which I had put7760 upon thee, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
Ezekiel 16:15 But thou didst trust982 in thine own beauty,3308 and playedst the harlot2181 because of thy renown,8034 and pouredst out8210 thy fornications8457 on every one that passed by;5674 his it was.
16 And of thy garments899 thou didst take,3947 and deckedst6213 thy high places1116 with divers colours,2921 and playedst the harlot2181 thereupon: thelikethings shall not come,935 neither shall it be so.17 Thou hast also taken3947 thy fair8597 jewels3627 of my gold2091 and of my silver,3701 which I had given5414 thee, and madest6213 to thyself images6754 of men,2145{Heb. of a male} and didst commit whoredom2181 with them,
18 And tookest3947 thy broidered7553 garments,899 and coveredst3680 them: and thou hast set5414 mine oil8081 and mine incense7004 before6440 them.
19 My meat3899 also which I gave5414 thee, fine flour,5560 and oil,8081 and honey,1706wherewith I fed398 thee, thou hast even set5414 it before6440 them for a sweet5207 savour:7381{Heb. a savour of rest} and thus it was, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.306920 Moreover thou hast taken3947 thy sons1121 and thy daughters,1323 whom thou hast borne3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed2076 unto them to be devoured.398{Heb. to devour}Isthis of thy whoredoms8457 a small matter,459221 That thou hast slain7819 my children,1121 and delivered5414 them to cause them to pass through5674thefire for them?
22 And in all thine abominations8441 and thy whoredoms8457 thou hast not remembered2142 the days3117 of thy youth,5271 when thou wast naked5903 and bare,6181and wast polluted947 in thy blood.181823 And it came to pass after310 all thy wickedness,7451 (woe,188 woe188 unto thee! saith5002 the Lord136 GOD;)306924That thou hast also built1129 unto thee an eminent place,1354{Or, brothel house} and hast made6213 thee an high place7413 in every street.733925 Thou hast built1129 thy high place7413 at every head7218 of the way,1870 and hast made thy beauty3308 to be abhorred,8581 and hast opened6589 thy feet7272 to every one that passed by,5674 and multiplied7235 thy whoredoms.845726 Thou hast also committed fornication2181 with the Egyptians11214714 thy neighbours,7934 great1432 of flesh;1320 and hast increased7235 thy whoredoms,8457 to provoke me to anger.370727 Behold, therefore I have stretched out5186 my hand3027 over thee, and have diminished1639 thine ordinary2706food, and delivered5414 thee unto the will5315 of them that hate8130 thee, the daughters1323{Or, cities} of the Philistines,6430 which are ashamed3637 of thy lewd2154 way.187028 Thou hast played the whore2181 also with the Assyrians,1121804 because1115 thou wast unsatiable;7646 yea, thou hast played the harlot2181 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.765429 Thou hast moreover multiplied7235 thy fornication8457 in the land776 of Canaan3667 unto Chaldea;3778 and yet thou wast not satisfied7646 herewith.206330 How weak535 is thine heart,3826 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 seeing thou doest6213 all these things, the work4639 of an imperious7986 whorish2181 woman;80231 In that thou buildest1129{Or, in thy daughters is thine etc.} thine eminent place1354 in the head7218 of every way,1870 and makest6213 thine high place7413 in every street;7339 and hast not been as an harlot,2181 in that thou scornest7046 hire;86832Butas a wife802 that committeth adultery,5003which taketh3947 strangers2114 instead of her husband!37633 They give5414 gifts5078 to all whores:2181 but thou givest5414 thy gifts5083 to all thy lovers,157 and hirest7809{Heb. bribest} them, that they may come935 unto thee on every side5439 for thy whoredom.845734 And the contrary2016 is in thee from other women802 in thy whoredoms,8457 whereas none followeth310 thee to commit whoredoms:2181 and in that thou givest5414 a reward,868 and no reward868 is given5414 unto thee, therefore thou art1961 contrary.2016
Ezekiel 16:35 Wherefore, O harlot,2181 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD:306836 Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because thy filthiness5178 was poured out,8210 and thy nakedness6172 discovered1540 through thy whoredoms8457 with thy lovers,157 and with all the idols1544 of thy abominations,8441 and by the blood1818 of thy children,1121 which thou didst give5414 unto them;
37 Behold, therefore I will gather6908 all thy lovers,157 with whom thou hast taken pleasure,6149 and all them that thou hast loved,157 with all them that thou hast hated;8130 I will even gather6908 them round about5439 against thee, and will discover1540 thy nakedness6172 unto them, that they may see7200 all thy nakedness.617238 And I will judge8199 thee, as women{Heb. with judgments of} that break wedlock5003 and shed8210 blood1818 are judged;4941 and I will give5414 thee blood1818 in fury2534 and jealousy.706839 And I will also give5414 thee into their hand,3027 and they shall throw down2040 thine eminent place,1354 and shall break down5422 thy high places:7413 they shall strip6584 thee also of thy clothes,899 and shall take3947 thy fair8597 jewels,3627{Heb. instruments of thine ornament} and leave3240 thee naked5903 and bare.618140 They shall also bring up5927 a company6951 against thee, and they shall stone7275 thee with stones,68 and thrust thee through1333 with their swords.271941 And they shall burn8313 thine houses1004 with fire,784 and execute6213 judgments8201 upon thee in the sight5869 of many7227 women:802 and I will cause thee to cease7673 from playing the harlot,2181 and thou also shalt give5414 no hire868 any more.
42 So will I make my fury2534 toward thee to rest,5117 and my jealousy7068 shall depart5493 from thee, and I will be quiet,8252 and will be no more angry.370743 Because thou hast not remembered2142 the days3117 of thy youth,5271 but hast fretted7264 me in all these things; behold,1887 therefore I also will recompense5414 thy way1870 upon thine head,7218 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069 and thou shalt not commit6213 this lewdness2154 above all thine abominations.8441
Ezekiel 16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs4911 shall use this proverb4911 against thee, saying,559 As is the mother,517sois her daughter.132345 Thou art thy mother's517 daughter,1323 that lotheth1602 her husband376 and her children;1121 and thou art the sister269 of thy sisters,269 which lothed1602 their husbands582 and their children:1121 your mother517was an Hittite,2850 and your father1 an Amorite.56746 And thine elder1419 sister269is Samaria,8111 she and her daughters1323 that dwell3427 at thy left hand:8040 and thy younger6996{Heb. lesser than thou} sister,269 that dwelleth3427 at thy right hand,3225is Sodom5467 and her daughters.132347 Yet hast thou not walked1980 after their ways,1870 nor done6213 after their abominations:8441 but, as ifthatwere a very6985 little45926962thing,{Or, that was lothed as a small thing} thou wast corrupted7843 more than they2004 in all thy ways.187048As I live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 Sodom5467 thy sister269 hath not done,6213 she nor her daughters,1323 as thou hast done,6213 thou and thy daughters.132349 Behold, this was the iniquity5771 of thy sister269 Sodom,5467 pride,1347 fulness7653 of bread,3899 and abundance7962 of idleness8252 was in her and in her daughters,1323 neither did she strengthen2388 the hand3027 of the poor6041 and needy.3450 And they were haughty,1361 and committed6213 abomination8441 before6440 me: therefore I took them away5493 as I saw7200good.51 Neither hath Samaria8111 committed2398 half2677 of thy sins;2403 but thou hast multiplied7235 thine abominations8441 more than they,2007 and hast justified6663 thy sisters269 in all thine abominations8441 which thou hast done.621352 Thou also, which hast judged6419 thy sisters,269 bear5375 thine own shame3639 for thy sins2403 that thou hast committed more abominable8581 than they:2004 they are more righteous6663 than thou: yea, be thou confounded954 also, and bear5375 thy shame,3639 in that thou hast justified6663 thy sisters.26953 When I shall bring again7725 their captivity,76227622 the captivity76227622 of Sodom5467 and her daughters,1323 and the captivity76227622 of Samaria8111 and her daughters,1323 then willIbringagain the captivity76227622 of thy captives7622 in the midst8432 of them:
54 That thou mayest bear5375 thine own shame,3639 and mayest be confounded3637 in all that thou hast done,6213 in that thou art a comfort5162 unto them.
55 When thy sisters,269 Sodom5467 and her daughters,1323 shall return7725 to their former estate,6927 and Samaria8111 and her daughters1323 shall return7725 to their former estate,6927 then thou and thy daughters1323 shall return7725 to your former estate.692756 For thy sister269 Sodom5467 was not mentioned8052{Heb. for a report or hearing} by thy mouth6310 in the day3117 of thy pride,1347{Heb. pride or excellencies}57 Before thy wickedness7451 was discovered,1540 as at the time6256 of thy reproach2781 of the daughters1323 of Syria,758{Heb. Aram} and all thatare round about5439 her, the daughters1323 of the Philistines,6430 which despise7590{Or spoil} thee round about.543958 Thou hast borne5375{Heb. borne them} thy lewdness2154 and thine abominations,8441 saith5002 the LORD.306859 For thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will even deal6213 with thee as thou hast done,6213 which hast despised959 the oath423 in breaking6565 the covenant.1285
Ezekiel 16:60 Nevertheless I will remember2142 my covenant1285 with thee in the days3117 of thy youth,5271 and I will establish6965 unto thee an everlasting5769 covenant.128561 Then thou shalt remember2142 thy ways,1870 and be ashamed,3637 when thou shalt receive3947 thy sisters,269 thine elder1419 and thy younger:6996 and I will give5414 them unto thee for daughters,1323 but not by thy covenant.128562 And I will establish6965 my covenant1285 with thee; and thou shalt know3045 that I am the LORD:306863 That thou mayest remember,2142 and be confounded,954 and never open6610 thy mouth6310 any more because6440 of thy shame,3639 when I am pacified3722 toward thee for all that thou hast done,6213 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
