Ezekiel 16 (kjv)

Again the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,²Son^H1121 of man^H120, cause Jerusalem^H3389 to know^H3045 her abominations^H8441,³And say^H559, Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 unto Jerusalem^H3389; Thy birth^H4351 and thy nativity^H4138 is of the land^H776 of Canaan^H3669; thy father^H1 was an Amorite^H567, and thy mother^H517 an Hittite^H2850.⁴And as for thy nativity^H4138, in the day^H3117 thou wast born^H3205 thy navel^H8270 was not cut^H3772, neither wast thou washed^H7364 in water^H4325 to supple^H4935 thee; thou wast not salted^H4414 at all^H4414, nor swaddled^H2853 at all^H2853.⁵None eye^H5869 pitied^H2347 thee, to do^H6213 any^H259 of these unto thee, to have compassion^H2550 upon thee; but thou wast cast out^H7993 in the open^H6440 field^H7704, to the lothing^H1604 of thy person^H5315, in the day^H3117 that thou wast born^H3205.

⁶And when I passed^H5674 by thee, and saw^H7200 thee polluted^H947 in thine own blood^H1818, I said^H559 unto thee when thou wast in thy blood^H1818, Live^H2421; yea, I said^H559 unto thee when thou wast in thy blood^H1818, Live^H2421.⁷I have caused^H5414 thee to multiply^H7233 as the bud^H6780 of the field^H7704, and thou hast increased^H7235 and waxen great^H1431, and thou art come^H935 to excellent^H5716 ornaments^H5716: thy breasts^H7699 are fashioned^H3559, and thine hair^H8181 is grown^H6779, whereas thou wast naked^H5903 and bare^H6181.⁸Now when I passed^H5674 by thee, and looked^H7200 upon thee, behold, thy time^H6256 was the time^H6256 of love^H1730; and I spread^H6566 my skirt^H3671 over thee, and covered^H3680 thy nakedness^H6172: yea, I sware^H7650 unto thee, and entered^H935 into a covenant^H1285 with thee, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, and thou becamest mine.⁹Then washed^H7364 I thee with water^H4325; yea, I throughly washed away^H7857 thy blood^H1818 from thee, and I anointed^H5480 thee with oil^H8081.¹⁰I clothed^H3847 thee also with broidered work^H7553, and shod^H5274 thee with badgers' skin^H8476, and I girded^H2280 thee about with fine linen^H8336, and I covered^H3680 thee with silk^H4897.¹¹I decked^H5710 thee also with ornaments^H5716, and I put^H5414 bracelets^H6781 upon thy hands^H3027, and a chain^H7242 on thy neck^H1627.¹²And I put^H5414 a jewel^H5141 on thy forehead^H639, and earrings^H5694 in thine ears^H241, and a beautiful^H8597 crown^H5850 upon thine head^H7218.¹³Thus wast thou decked^H5710 with gold^H2091 and silver^H3701; and thy raiment^H4403 was of fine linen^{H8336 H8336}, and silk^H4897, and broidered work^H7553; thou didst eat^H398 fine flour^H5560, and honey^H1706, and oil^H8081: and thou wast exceeding^H3966 beautiful^H3302, and thou didst prosper^H6743 into a kingdom^H4410.¹⁴And thy renown^H8034 went forth^H3318 among the heathen^H1471 for thy beauty^H3308: for it was perfect^H3632 through my comeliness^H1926, which I had put^H7760 upon thee, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹⁵But thou didst trust^H982 in thine own beauty^H3308, and playedst the harlot^H2181 because of thy renown^H8034, and pouredst out^H8210 thy fornications^H8457 on every one that passed by^H5674; his it was.¹⁶And of thy garments^H899 thou didst take^H3947, and deckedst^H6213 thy high places^H1116 with divers colours^H2921, and playedst the harlot^H2181 thereupon: the like things shall not come^H935, neither shall it be so.¹⁷Thou hast also taken^H3947 thy fair^H8597 jewels^H3627 of my gold^H2091 and of my silver^H3701, which I had given^H5414 thee, and madest^H6213 to thyself images^H6754 of men^H2145, and didst commit whoredom^H2181 with them,¹⁸And tookest^H3947 thy broidered^H7553 garments^H899, and coveredst^H3680 them: and thou hast set^H5414 mine oil^H8081 and mine incense^H7004 before^H6440 them.¹⁹My meat^H3899 also which I gave^H5414 thee, fine flour^H5560, and oil^H8081, and honey^H1706, wherewith I fed^H398 thee, thou hast even set^H5414 it before^H6440 them for a sweet^H5207 savour^H7381: and thus it was, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.²⁰Moreover thou hast taken^H3947 thy sons^H1121 and thy daughters^H1323, whom thou hast borne^H3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed^H2076 unto them to be devoured^H398. Is this of thy whoredoms^H8457 a small matter^H4592,²¹That thou hast slain^H7819 my children^H1121, and delivered^H5414 them to cause them to pass through^H5674 the fire for them?²²And in all thine abominations^H8441 and thy whoredoms^H8457 thou hast not remembered^H2142 the days^H3117 of thy youth^H5271, when thou wast naked^H5903 and bare^H6181, and wast polluted^H947 in thy blood^H1818.²³And it came to pass after^H310 all thy wickedness^H7451, (woe^H188, woe^H188 unto thee! saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069;)²⁴That thou hast also built^H1129 unto thee an eminent place^H1354, and hast made^H6213 thee an high place^H7413 in every street^H7339.²⁵Thou hast built^H1129 thy high place^H7413 at every head^H7218 of the way^H1870, and hast made thy beauty^H3308 to be abhorred^H8581, and hast opened^H6589 thy feet^H7272 to every one that passed by^H5674, and multiplied^H7235 thy whoredoms^H8457.²⁶Thou hast also committed fornication^H2181 with the Egyptians^{H1121 H4714} thy neighbours^H7934, great^H1432 of flesh^H1320; and hast increased^H7235 thy whoredoms^H8457, to provoke me to anger^H3707.²⁷Behold, therefore I have stretched out^H5186 my hand^H3027 over thee, and have diminished^H1639 thine ordinary^H2706 food, and delivered^H5414 thee unto the will^H5315 of them that hate^H8130 thee, the daughters^H1323 of the Philistines^H6430, which are ashamed^H3637 of thy lewd^H2154 way^H1870.²⁸Thou hast played the whore^H2181 also with the Assyrians^{H1121 H804}, because^H1115 thou wast unsatiable^H7646; yea, thou hast played the harlot^H2181 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied^H7654.²⁹Thou hast moreover multiplied^H7235 thy fornication^H8457 in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667 unto Chaldea^H3778; and yet thou wast not satisfied^H7646 herewith^H2063.³⁰How weak^H535 is thine heart^H3826, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, seeing thou doest^H6213 all these things, the work^H4639 of an imperious^H7986 whorish^H2181 woman^H802;³¹In that thou buildest^H1129 thine eminent place^H1354 in the head^H7218 of every way^H1870, and makest^H6213 thine high place^H7413 in every street^H7339; and hast not been as an harlot^H2181, in that thou scornest^H7046 hire^H868;³²But as a wife^H802 that committeth adultery^H5003, which taketh^H3947 strangers^H2114 instead of her husband^H376!³³They give^H5414 gifts^H5078 to all whores^H2181: but thou givest^H5414 thy gifts^H5083 to all thy lovers^H157, and hirest^H7809 them, that they may come^H935 unto thee on every side^H5439 for thy whoredom^H8457.³⁴And the contrary^H2016 is in thee from other women^H802 in thy whoredoms^H8457, whereas none followeth^H310 thee to commit whoredoms^H2181: and in that thou givest^H5414 a reward^H868, and no reward^H868 is given^H5414 unto thee, therefore thou art^H1961 contrary^H2016.

³⁵Wherefore, O harlot^H2181, hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068:³⁶Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Because thy filthiness^H5178 was poured out^H8210, and thy nakedness^H6172 discovered^H1540 through thy whoredoms^H8457 with thy lovers^H157, and with all the idols^H1544 of thy abominations^H8441, and by the blood^H1818 of thy children^H1121, which thou didst give^H5414 unto them;³⁷Behold, therefore I will gather^H6908 all thy lovers^H157, with whom thou hast taken pleasure^H6149, and all them that thou hast loved^H157, with all them that thou hast hated^H8130; I will even gather^H6908 them round about^H5439 against thee, and will discover^H1540 thy nakedness^H6172 unto them, that they may see^H7200 all thy nakedness^H6172.³⁸And I will judge^H8199 thee, as women that break wedlock^H5003 and shed^H8210 blood^H1818 are judged^H4941; and I will give^H5414 thee blood^H1818 in fury^H2534 and jealousy^H7068.³⁹And I will also give^H5414 thee into their hand^H3027, and they shall throw down^H2040 thine eminent place^H1354, and shall break down^H5422 thy high places^H7413: they shall strip^H6584 thee also of thy clothes^H899, and shall take^H3947 thy fair^H8597 jewels^H3627, and leave^H3240 thee naked^H5903 and bare^H6181.⁴⁰They shall also bring up^H5927 a company^H6951 against thee, and they shall stone^H7275 thee with stones^H68, and thrust thee through^H1333 with their swords^H2719.⁴¹And they shall burn^H8313 thine houses^H1004 with fire^H784, and execute^H6213 judgments^H8201 upon thee in the sight^H5869 of many^H7227 women^H802: and I will cause thee to cease^H7673 from playing the harlot^H2181, and thou also shalt give^H5414 no hire^H868 any more.⁴²So will I make my fury^H2534 toward thee to rest^H5117, and my jealousy^H7068 shall depart^H5493 from thee, and I will be quiet^H8252, and will be no more angry^H3707.⁴³Because thou hast not remembered^H2142 the days^H3117 of thy youth^H5271, but hast fretted^H7264 me in all these things; behold^H1887, therefore I also will recompense^H5414 thy way^H1870 upon thine head^H7218, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069: and thou shalt not commit^H6213 this lewdness^H2154 above all thine abominations^H8441.⁴⁴Behold, every one that useth proverbs^H4911 shall use this proverb^H4911 against thee, saying^H559, As is the mother^H517, so is her daughter^H1323.⁴⁵Thou art thy mother's^H517 daughter^H1323, that lotheth^H1602 her husband^H376 and her children^H1121; and thou art the sister^H269 of thy sisters^H269, which lothed^H1602 their husbands^H582 and their children^H1121: your mother^H517 was an Hittite^H2850, and your father^H1 an Amorite^H567.

⁴⁶And thine elder^H1419 sister^H269 is Samaria^H8111, she and her daughters^H1323 that dwell^H3427 at thy left hand^H8040: and thy younger^H6996 sister^H269, that dwelleth^H3427 at thy right hand^H3225, is Sodom^H5467 and her daughters^H1323.⁴⁷Yet hast thou not walked^H1980 after their ways^H1870, nor done^H6213 after their abominations^H8441: but, as if that were a very^H6985 little^{H4592 H6962} thing, thou wast corrupted^H7843 more than they^H2004 in all thy ways^H1870.⁴⁸As I live^H2416, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, Sodom^H5467 thy sister^H269 hath not done^H6213, she nor her daughters^H1323, as thou hast done^H6213, thou and thy daughters^H1323.⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity^H5771 of thy sister^H269 Sodom^H5467, pride^H1347, fulness^H7653 of bread^H3899, and abundance^H7962 of idleness^H8252 was in her and in her daughters^H1323, neither did she strengthen^H2388 the hand^H3027 of the poor^H6041 and needy^H34.⁵⁰And they were haughty^H1361, and committed^H6213 abomination^H8441 before^H6440 me: therefore I took them away^H5493 as I saw^H7200 good.⁵¹Neither hath Samaria^H8111 committed^H2398 half^H2677 of thy sins^H2403; but thou hast multiplied^H7235 thine abominations^H8441 more than they^H2007, and hast justified^H6663 thy sisters^H269 in all thine abominations^H8441 which thou hast done^H6213.⁵²Thou also, which hast judged^H6419 thy sisters^H269, bear^H5375 thine own shame^H3639 for thy sins^H2403 that thou hast committed more abominable^H8581 than they^H2004: they are more righteous^H6663 than thou: yea, be thou confounded^H954 also, and bear^H5375 thy shame^H3639, in that thou hast justified^H6663 thy sisters^H269.⁵³When I shall bring again^H7725 their captivity^{H7622 H7622}, the captivity^{H7622 H7622} of Sodom^H5467 and her daughters^H1323, and the captivity^{H7622 H7622} of Samaria^H8111 and her daughters^H1323, then will I bring again the captivity^{H7622 H7622} of thy captives^H7622 in the midst^H8432 of them:⁵⁴That thou mayest bear^H5375 thine own shame^H3639, and mayest be confounded^H3637 in all that thou hast done^H6213, in that thou art a comfort^H5162 unto them.⁵⁵When thy sisters^H269, Sodom^H5467 and her daughters^H1323, shall return^H7725 to their former estate^H6927, and Samaria^H8111 and her daughters^H1323 shall return^H7725 to their former estate^H6927, then thou and thy daughters^H1323 shall return^H7725 to your former estate^H6927.⁵⁶For thy sister^H269 Sodom^H5467 was not mentioned^H8052 by thy mouth^H6310 in the day^H3117 of thy pride^H1347,⁵⁷Before thy wickedness^H7451 was discovered^H1540, as at the time^H6256 of thy reproach^H2781 of the daughters^H1323 of Syria^H758, and all that are round about^H5439 her, the daughters^H1323 of the Philistines^H6430, which despise^H7590 thee round about^H5439.⁵⁸Thou hast borne^H5375 thy lewdness^H2154 and thine abominations^H8441, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

⁵⁹For thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; I will even deal^H6213 with thee as thou hast done^H6213, which hast despised^H959 the oath^H423 in breaking^H6565 the covenant^H1285.

⁶⁰Nevertheless I will remember^H2142 my covenant^H1285 with thee in the days^H3117 of thy youth^H5271, and I will establish^H6965 unto thee an everlasting^H5769 covenant^H1285.⁶¹Then thou shalt remember^H2142 thy ways^H1870, and be ashamed^H3637, when thou shalt receive^H3947 thy sisters^H269, thine elder^H1419 and thy younger^H6996: and I will give^H5414 them unto thee for daughters^H1323, but not by thy covenant^H1285.⁶²And I will establish^H6965 my covenant^H1285 with thee; and thou shalt know^H3045 that I am the LORD^H3068:⁶³That thou mayest remember^H2142, and be confounded^H954, and never open^H6610 thy mouth^H6310 any more because^H6440 of thy shame^H3639, when I am pacified^H3722 toward thee for all that thou hast done^H6213, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.
