EZE-16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

EZE-16:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy

birth and thy

nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father [was] an Amorite,

and thy

mother an Hittite.

EZE-16:4 And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born

thy navel was

not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple [thee];

thou wast not

salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

EZE-16:5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to

have

compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field,

to the

loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

EZE-16:6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in

thine own blood,

I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yea, I

said unto thee

[when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.

EZE-16:7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field,

and thou

hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent

ornaments:

[thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas

thou [wast]

naked and bare.

EZE-16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee,

behold, thy time

[was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and

covered thy

nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant

with thee,

saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

EZE-16:9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly

washed away thy

blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

EZE-16:10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod

thee with

badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I

covered thee

with silk.

EZE-16:11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put

bracelets upon thy

hands, and a chain on thy neck.

EZE-16:12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in

thine ears, and

a beautiful crown upon thine head.

EZE-16:13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy

raiment [was

of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat

fine flour, and

honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou

didst prosper into

a kingdom.

EZE-16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy

beauty: for it

[was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee,

saith the Lord

GOD.

EZE-16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and

playedst the harlot

because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on

every one that

passed by; his it was.

EZE-16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy

high places

with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: [the

like things]

shall not come, neither shall it be [so].

EZE-16:17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and

of my silver,

which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and

didst commit

whoredom with them,

EZE-16:18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst

them: and thou

hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.

EZE-16:19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil,

and honey,

[wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a

sweet savour:

and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-16:20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters,

whom thou hast

borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be

devoured. [Is

this] of thy whoredoms a small matter,

EZE-16:21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them

to cause them

to pass through [the fire] for them?

EZE-16:22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou

hast not

remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare,

[and] wast

polluted in thy blood.

EZE-16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe,

woe unto thee!

saith the Lord GOD;)

EZE-16:24 [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent

place, and hast

made thee an high place in every street.

EZE-16:25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the

way, and hast

made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to

every one that

passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

EZE-16:26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the

Egyptians thy

neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to

provoke me to

anger.

EZE-16:27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over

thee, and have

diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the

will of them

that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are

ashamed of thy

lewd way.

EZE-16:28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians,

because thou

wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and

yet couldest

not be satisfied.

EZE-16:29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the

land of Canaan

unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.

EZE-16:30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing

thou doest all

these [things], the work of an imperious whorish woman;

EZE-16:31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head

of every way,

and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been

as an harlot,

in that thou scornest hire;

EZE-16:32 [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which]

taketh strangers

instead of her husband!

EZE-16:33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy

gifts to all thy

lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every

side for thy

whoredom.

EZE-16:34 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy

whoredoms,

whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that

thou givest a

reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art

contrary.

EZE-16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

EZE-16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was

poured out, and

thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers,

and with all

the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children,

which thou

didst give unto them;

EZE-16:37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with

whom thou hast

taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast loved, with all

[them] that thou

hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee,

and will

discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy

nakedness.

EZE-16:38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock

and shed blood

are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

EZE-16:39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they

shall throw

down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places:

they shall

strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels,

and leave thee

naked and bare.

EZE-16:40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and

they shall

stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their

swords.

EZE-16:41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and

execute judgments

upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to

cease from

playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

EZE-16:42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my

jealousy shall

depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

EZE-16:43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy

youth, but hast

fretted me in all these [things]; behold, therefore I also will

recompense thy

way upon [thine] head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not

commit this

lewdness above all thine abominations.

EZE-16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use

[this] proverb

against thee, saying, As [is] the mother, [so is] her daughter.

EZE-16:45 Thou [art] thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her

husband and her

children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which

loathed their

husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite, and

your father an

Amorite.

EZE-16:46 And thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her

daughters that

dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at

thy right

hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.

EZE-16:47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done

after their

abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou

wast

corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

EZE-16:48 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister

hath not done,

she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

EZE-16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,

pride, fulness

of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her

daughters, neither

did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

EZE-16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination

before me:

therefore I took them away as I saw [good].

EZE-16:51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but

thou hast

multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified

thy sisters

in all thine abominations which thou hast done.

EZE-16:52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine

own shame for

thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they:

they are more

righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy

shame, in that

thou hast justified thy sisters.

EZE-16:53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the

captivity of Sodom

and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her

daughters, then [will

I bring again] the captivity of thy captives in the midst of

them:

EZE-16:54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be

confounded in

all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.

EZE-16:55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall

return to their

former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to

their former

estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former

estate.

EZE-16:56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth

in the day of

thy pride,

EZE-16:57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time

of [thy]

reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all [that are] round

about her, the

daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.

EZE-16:58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations,

saith the

LORD.

EZE-16:59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with

thee as thou

hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

EZE-16:60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in

the days of

thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting

covenant.

EZE-16:61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed,

when thou shalt

receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will

give them unto

thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

EZE-16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou

shalt know

that I [am] the LORD:

EZE-16:63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and

never open thy

mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward

thee for all

that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
