Ezekiel 16:15-52

16:15

But thou didst trust
<0982> (8799)

in thine own beauty
<03308>_,

and playedst the harlot
<02181> (8799)

because of thy renown
<08034>_,

and pouredst out
<08210> (8799)

thy fornications
<08457>

on every one that passed by
<05674> (8802)_;

his it was.

16:16

And of thy garments
<0899>

thou didst take
<03947> (8799)_,

and deckedst
<06213> (8799)

thy high places
<01116>

with divers colours
<02921> (8803)_,

and playedst the harlot
<02181> (8799)

thereupon: [the like things] shall not come
<0935> (8802)_,

neither shall it be [so].

16:17

Thou hast also taken
<03947> (8799)

thy fair
<08597>

jewels
<03627>

of my gold
<02091>

and of my silver
<03701>_,

which I had given
<05414> (8804)

thee, and madest
<06213> (8799)

to thyself images
<06754>

of men
<02145>_,

and didst commit whoredom
<02181> (8799)

with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}

16:18

And tookest
<03947> (8799)

thy broidered
<07553>

garments
<0899>_,

and coveredst
<03680> (8762)

them: and thou hast set
<05414> (8804)

mine oil
<08081>

and mine incense
<07004>

before
<06440>

them.

16:19

My meat
<03899>

also which I gave
<05414> (8804)

thee, fine flour
<05560>_,

and oil
<08081>_,

and honey
<01706>_,

[wherewith] I fed
<0398> (8689)

thee, thou hast even set
<05414> (8804)

it before
<06440>

them for a sweet
<05207>

savour
<07381>_:

and [thus] it was, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

{a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest}

16:20

Moreover thou hast taken
<03947> (8799)

thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>_,

whom thou hast borne
<03205> (8804)

unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

unto them to be devoured
<0398> (8800)_.

[Is this] of thy whoredoms
<08457>

a small matter
<04592>_,

{to be...: Heb. to devour}

16:21

That thou hast slain
<07819> (8799)

my children
<01121>_,

and delivered
<05414> (8799)

them to cause them to pass through
<05674> (8687)

[the fire] for them?

16:22

And in all thine abominations
<08441>

and thy whoredoms
<08457>

thou hast not remembered
<02142> (8804)

the days
<03117>

of thy youth
<05271>_,

when thou wast naked
<05903>

and bare
<06181>_,

[and] wast polluted
<0947> (8711)

in thy blood
<01818>_.

16:23

And it came to pass after
<0310>

all thy wickedness
<07451>_,

(woe
<0188>_,

woe
<0188>

unto thee! saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>;)

16:24

[That] thou hast also built
<01129> (8799)

unto thee an eminent place
<01354>_,

and hast made
<06213> (8799)

thee an high place
<07413>

in every street
<07339>_.

{eminent...: or, brothel house}

16:25

Thou hast built
<01129> (8804)

thy high place
<07413>

at every head
<07218>

of the way
<01870>_,

and hast made thy beauty
<03308>

to be abhorred
<08581> (8762)_,

and hast opened
<06589> (8762)

thy feet
<07272>

to every one that passed by
<05674> (8802)_,

and multiplied
<07235> (8686)

thy whoredoms
<08457>_.

16:26

Thou hast also committed fornication
<02181> (8799)

with the Egyptians
<01121> <04714>

thy neighbours
<07934>_,

great
<01432>

of flesh
<01320>_;

and hast increased
<07235> (8686)

thy whoredoms
<08457>_,

to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

16:27

Behold, therefore I have stretched out
<05186> (8804)

my hand
<03027>

over thee, and have diminished
<01639> (8799)

thine ordinary
<02706>

[food], and delivered
<05414> (8799)

thee unto the will
<05315>

of them that hate
<08130> (8802)

thee, the daughters
<01323>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

which are ashamed
<03637> (8737)

of thy lewd
<02154>

way
<01870>_.

{daughters: or, cities}

16:28

Thou hast played the whore
<02181> (8799)

also with the Assyrians
<01121> <0804>_,

because
<01115>

thou wast unsatiable
<07646> (8804)_;

yea, thou hast played the harlot
<02181> (8799)

with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied
<07654>_.

16:29

Thou hast moreover multiplied
<07235> (8686)

thy fornication
<08457>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>

unto Chaldea
<03778>_;

and yet thou wast not satisfied
<07646> (8804)

herewith
<02063>_.

16:30

How weak
<0535> (8802)

is thine heart
<03826>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

seeing thou doest
<06213> (8800)

all these [things], the work
<04639>

of an imperious
<07986>

whorish
<02181> (8803)

woman
<0802>_;

16:31

In that thou buildest
<01129> (8800)

thine eminent place
<01354>

in the head
<07218>

of every way
<01870>_,

and makest
<06213> (8804)

thine high place
<07413>

in every street
<07339>_;

and hast not been as an harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

in that thou scornest
<07046> (8763)

hire
<0868>_;

{In that thou buildest...: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc}

16:32

[But as] a wife
<0802>

that committeth adultery
<05003> (8764)_,

[which] taketh
<03947> (8799)

strangers
<02114> (8801)

instead of her husband
<0376>_!

16:33

They give
<05414> (8799)

gifts
<05078>

to all whores
<02181> (8802)_:

but thou givest
<05414> (8804)

thy gifts
<05083>

to all thy lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

and hirest
<07809> (8799)

them, that they may come
<0935> (8800)

unto thee on every side
<05439>

for thy whoredom
<08457>_.

{hirest: Heb. bribest}

16:34

And the contrary
<02016>

is in thee from [other] women
<0802>

in thy whoredoms
<08457>_,

whereas none followeth
<0310>

thee to commit whoredoms
<02181> (8795)_:

and in that thou givest
<05414> (8800)

a reward
<0868>_,

and no reward
<0868>

is given
<05414> (8738)

unto thee, therefore thou art
<01961> (8799)

contrary
<02016>_.

16:35

Wherefore, O harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

16:36

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because thy filthiness
<05178>

was poured out
<08210> (8736)_,

and thy nakedness
<06172>

discovered
<01540> (8735)

through thy whoredoms
<08457>

with thy lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

and with all the idols
<01544>

of thy abominations
<08441>_,

and by the blood
<01818>

of thy children
<01121>_,

which thou didst give
<05414> (8804)

unto them;

16:37

Behold, therefore I will gather
<06908> (8764)

all thy lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

with whom thou hast taken pleasure
<06149> (8804)_,

and all [them] that thou hast loved
<0157> (8804)_,

with all [them] that thou hast hated
<08130> (8804)_;

I will even gather
<06908> (8765)

them round about
<05439>

against thee, and will discover
<01540> (8765)

thy nakedness
<06172>

unto them, that they may see
<07200> (8804)

all thy nakedness
<06172>_.

16:38

And I will judge
<08199> (8804)

thee, as women that break wedlock
<05003> (8802)

and shed
<08210> (8802)

blood
<01818>

are judged
<04941>_;

and I will give
<05414> (8804)

thee blood
<01818>

in fury
<02534>

and jealousy
<07068>_.

{as: Heb. with judgments of}

16:39

And I will also give
<05414> (8804)

thee into their hand
<03027>_,

and they shall throw down
<02040> (8804)

thine eminent place
<01354>_,

and shall break down
<05422> (8765)

thy high places
<07413>_:

they shall strip
<06584> (8689)

thee also of thy clothes
<0899>_,

and shall take
<03947> (8804)

thy fair
<08597>

jewels
<03627>_,

and leave
<03240> (8689)

thee naked
<05903>

and bare
<06181>_.

{thy fair...: Heb. instruments of thine ornament}

16:40

They shall also bring up
<05927> (8689)

a company
<06951>

against thee, and they shall stone
<07275> (8804)

thee with stones
<068>_,

and thrust thee through
<01333> (8765)

with their swords
<02719>_.

16:41

And they shall burn
<08313> (8804)

thine houses
<01004>

with fire
<0784>_,

and execute
<06213> (8804)

judgments
<08201>

upon thee in the sight
<05869>

of many
<07227>

women
<0802>_:

and I will cause thee to cease
<07673> (8689)

from playing the harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

and thou also shalt give
<05414> (8799)

no hire
<0868>

any more.

16:42

So will I make my fury
<02534>

toward thee to rest
<05117> (8689)_,

and my jealousy
<07068>

shall depart
<05493> (8804)

from thee, and I will be quiet
<08252> (8804)_,

and will be no more angry
<03707> (8799)_.

16:43

Because thou hast not remembered
<02142> (8804)

the days
<03117>

of thy youth
<05271>_,

but hast fretted
<07264> (8799)

me in all these [things]; behold
<01887>_,

therefore I also will recompense
<05414> (8804)

thy way
<01870>

upon [thine] head
<07218>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_:

and thou shalt not commit
<06213> (8804)

this lewdness
<02154>

above all thine abominations
<08441>_.

16:44

Behold, every one that useth proverbs
<04911> (8802)

shall use [this] proverb
<04911> (8799)

against thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

As [is] the mother
<0517>_,

[so is] her daughter
<01323>_.

16:45

Thou [art] thy mother's
<0517>

daughter
<01323>_,

that lotheth
<01602> (8802)

her husband
<0376>

and her children
<01121>_;

and thou [art] the sister
<0269>

of thy sisters
<0269>_,

which lothed
<01602> (8804)

their husbands
<0582>

and their children
<01121>_:

your mother
<0517>

[was] an Hittite
<02850>_,

and your father
<01>

an Amorite
<0567>_.

16:46

And thine elder
<01419>

sister
<0269>

[is] Samaria
<08111>_,

she and her daughters
<01323>

that dwell
<03427> (8802)

at thy left hand
<08040>_:

and thy younger
<06996>

sister
<0269>_,

that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

at thy right hand
<03225>_,

[is] Sodom
<05467>

and her daughters
<01323>_.

{thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou}

16:47

Yet hast thou not walked
<01980> (8804)

after their ways
<01870>_,

nor done
<06213> (8804)

after their abominations
<08441>_:

but, as [if that were] a very
<06985>

little
<04592> <06962> (8804)

[thing], thou wast corrupted
<07843> (8686)

more than they
<02004>

in all thy ways
<01870>_.

{as if...: or, that was lothed as a small thing}

16:48

[As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

Sodom
<05467>

thy sister
<0269>

hath not done
<06213> (8804)_,

she nor her daughters
<01323>_,

as thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_,

thou and thy daughters
<01323>_.

16:49

Behold, this was the iniquity
<05771>

of thy sister
<0269>

Sodom
<05467>_,

pride
<01347>_,

fulness
<07653>

of bread
<03899>_,

and abundance
<07962>

of idleness
<08252> (8687)

was in her and in her daughters
<01323>_,

neither did she strengthen
<02388> (8689)

the hand
<03027>

of the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_.

16:50

And they were haughty
<01361> (8799)_,

and committed
<06213> (8799)

abomination
<08441>

before
<06440>

me: therefore I took them away
<05493> (8686)

as I saw
<07200> (8804)

[good].

16:51

Neither hath Samaria
<08111>

committed
<02398> (8804)

half
<02677>

of thy sins
<02403>_;

but thou hast multiplied
<07235> (8686)

thine abominations
<08441>

more than they
<02007>_,

and hast justified
<06663> (8762)

thy sisters
<0269>

in all thine abominations
<08441>

which thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_.

16:52

Thou also, which hast judged
<06419> (8765)

thy sisters
<0269>_,

bear
<05375> (8798)

thine own shame
<03639>

for thy sins
<02403>

that thou hast committed more abominable
<08581> (8689)

than they
<02004>_:

they are more righteous
<06663> (8799)

than thou: yea, be thou confounded
<0954> (8798)

also, and bear
<05375> (8798)

thy shame
<03639>_,

in that thou hast justified
<06663> (8763)

thy sisters
<0269>_.
