Ezekiel 23:3-49

23:3

And they committed whoredoms
<02181> (8799)

in Egypt
<04714>_;

they committed whoredoms
<02181> (8804)

in their youth
<05271>_:

there were their breasts
<07699>

pressed
<04600> (8795)_,

and there they bruised
<06213> (8765)

the teats
<01717>

of their virginity
<01331>_.

23:4

And the names
<08034>

of them [were] Aholah
<0170>

the elder
<01419>_,

and Aholibah
<0172>

her sister
<0269>_:

and they were mine, and they bare
<03205> (8799)

sons
<01121>

and daughters
<01323>_.

Thus [were] their names
<08034>_;

Samaria
<08111>

[is] Aholah
<0170>_,

and Jerusalem
<03389>

Aholibah
<0172>_.

{Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle} {Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}

23:5

And Aholah
<0170>

played the harlot
<02181> (8799)

when she was mine
<08478>_;

and she doted
<05689> (8799)

on her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

on the Assyrians
<0804>

[her] neighbours
<07138>_,

23:6

[Which were] clothed
<03847> (8803)

with blue
<08504>_,

captains
<06346>

and rulers
<05461>_,

all of them desirable
<02531>

young men
<0970>_,

horsemen
<06571>

riding
<07392> (8802)

upon horses
<05483>_.

23:7

Thus she committed
<05414> (8799)

her whoredoms
<08457>

with them, with all them [that were] the chosen
<04005>

men
<01121>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and with all on whom she doted
<05689> (8804)_:

with all their idols
<01544>

she defiled
<02930> (8738)

herself. {committed...: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them} {the chosen...: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur}

23:8

Neither left
<05800> (8804)

she her whoredoms
<08457>

[brought] from Egypt
<04714>_:

for in her youth
<05271>

they lay
<07901> (8804)

with her, and they bruised
<06213> (8765)

the breasts
<01717>

of her virginity
<01331>_,

and poured
<08210> (8799)

their whoredom
<08457>

upon her.

23:9

Wherefore I have delivered
<05414> (8804)

her into the hand
<03027>

of her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

into the hand
<03027>

of the Assyrians
<01121> <0804>_,

upon whom she doted
<05689> (8804)_.

23:10

These discovered
<01540> (8765)

her nakedness
<06172>_:

they took
<03947> (8804)

her sons
<01121>

and her daughters
<01323>_,

and slew
<02026> (8804)

her with the sword
<02719>_:

and she became famous
<08034>

among women
<0802>_;

for they had executed
<06213> (8804)

judgment
<08196>

upon her. {famous: Heb. a name}

23:11

And when her sister
<0269>

Aholibah
<0172>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[this], she was more corrupt
<07843> (8686)

in her inordinate love
<05691>

than she, and in her whoredoms
<08457>

more than her sister
<0269>

in [her] whoredoms
<02183>_.

{she was...: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc} {more than...: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister}

23:12

She doted
<05689> (8804)

upon the Assyrians
<01121> <0804>

[her] neighbours
<07138>_,

captains
<06346>

and rulers
<05461>

clothed
<03847> (8803)

most gorgeously
<04358>_,

horsemen
<06571>

riding
<07392> (8802)

upon horses
<05483>_,

all of them desirable
<02531>

young men
<0970>_.

23:13

Then I saw
<07200> (8799)

that she was defiled
<02930> (8738)_,

[that] they [took] both
<08147>

one
<0259>

way
<01870>_,

23:14

And [that] she increased
<03254> (8686)

her whoredoms
<08457>_:

for when she saw
<07200> (8799)

men
<0582>

pourtrayed
<02707> (8794)

upon the wall
<07023>_,

the images
<06754>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>

pourtrayed
<02710> (8803)

with vermilion
<08350>_,

23:15

Girded
<02289>

with girdles
<0232>

upon their loins
<04975>_,

exceeding
<05628> (8803)

in dyed attire
<02871>

upon their heads
<07218>_,

all of them princes
<07991>

to look to
<04758>_,

after the manner
<01823>

of the Babylonians
<01121> <0894>

of Chaldea
<03778>_,

the land
<0776>

of their nativity
<04138>_:

23:16

And as soon as she saw
<04758>

them with her eyes
<05869>_,

she doted
<05689> (8799)

upon them, and sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto them into Chaldea
<03778>_.

{as soon...: Heb. at the sight of her eyes}

23:17

And the Babylonians
<01121> <0894>

came
<0935> (8799)

to her into the bed
<04904>

of love
<01730>_,

and they defiled
<02930> (8762)

her with their whoredom
<08457>_,

and she was polluted
<02930> (8799)

with them, and her mind
<05315>

was alienated
<03363> (8799)

from them. {Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel} {alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed}

23:18

So she discovered
<01540> (8762)

her whoredoms
<08457>_,

and discovered
<01540> (8762)

her nakedness
<06172>_:

then my mind
<05315>

was alienated
<03363> (8799)

from her, like as my mind
<05315>

was alienated
<05361> (8804)

from her sister
<0269>_.

23:19

Yet she multiplied
<07235> (8686)

her whoredoms
<08457>_,

in calling to remembrance
<02142> (8800)

the days
<03117>

of her youth
<05271>_,

wherein she had played the harlot
<02181> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

23:20

For she doted
<05689> (8799)

upon their paramours
<06370>_,

whose flesh
<01320>

[is as] the flesh
<01320>

of asses
<02543>_,

and whose issue
<02231>

[is like] the issue
<02231>

of horses
<05483>_.

23:21

Thus thou calledst to remembrance
<06485> (8799)

the lewdness
<02154>

of thy youth
<05271>_,

in bruising
<06213> (8800)

thy teats
<01717>

by the Egyptians
<04714>

for the paps
<07699>

of thy youth
<05271>_.

23:22

Therefore, O Aholibah
<0172>_,

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I will raise up
<05782> (8688)

thy lovers
<0157> (8764)

against thee, from whom thy mind
<05315>

is alienated
<05361> (8804)_,

and I will bring
<0935> (8689)

them against thee on every side
<05439>_;

23:23

The Babylonians
<01121> <0894>_,

and all the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

Pekod
<06489>_,

and Shoa
<07772>_,

and Koa
<06970>_,

[and] all the Assyrians
<01121> <0804>

with them: all of them desirable
<02531>

young men
<0970>_,

captains
<06346>

and rulers
<05461>_,

great lords
<07991>

and renowned
<07121> (8803)_,

all of them riding
<07392> (8802)

upon horses
<05483>_.

23:24

And they shall come
<0935> (8804)

against thee with chariots
<02021>_,

wagons
<07393>_,

and wheels
<01534>_,

and with an assembly
<06951>

of people
<05971>_,

[which] shall set
<07760> (8799)

against thee buckler
<06793>

and shield
<04043>

and helmet
<06959>

round about
<05439>_:

and I will set
<05414> (8804)

judgment
<04941>

before
<06440>

them, and they shall judge
<08199> (8804)

thee according to their judgments
<04941>_.

23:25

And I will set
<05414> (8804)

my jealousy
<07068>

against thee, and they shall deal
<06213> (8804)

furiously
<02534>

with thee: they shall take away
<05493> (8686)

thy nose
<0639>

and thine ears
<0241>_;

and thy remnant
<0319>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_:

they shall take
<03947> (8799)

thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>_;

and thy residue
<0319>

shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)

by the fire
<0784>_.

23:26

They shall also strip
<06584> (8689)

thee out of thy clothes
<0899>_,

and take away
<03947> (8804)

thy fair
<08597>

jewels
<03627>_.

{fair...: Heb. instruments of thy decking}

23:27

Thus will I make thy lewdness
<02154>

to cease
<07673> (8689)

from thee, and thy whoredom
<02184>

[brought] from the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

so that thou shalt not lift up
<05375> (8799)

thine eyes
<05869>

unto them, nor remember
<02142> (8799)

Egypt
<04714>

any more.

23:28

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)

thee into the hand
<03027>

[of them] whom thou hatest
<08130> (8804)_,

into the hand
<03027>

[of them] from whom thy mind
<05315>

is alienated
<05361> (8804)_:

23:29

And they shall deal
<06213> (8804)

with thee hatefully
<08135>_,

and shall take away
<03947> (8804)

all thy labour
<03018>_,

and shall leave
<05800> (8804)

thee naked
<05903>

and bare
<06181>_:

and the nakedness
<06172>

of thy whoredoms
<02183>

shall be discovered
<01540> (8738)_,

both thy lewdness
<02154>

and thy whoredoms
<08457>_.

23:30

I will do
<06213> (8800)

these [things] unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring
<02181> (8800)

after
<0310>

the heathen
<01471>_,

[and] because thou art polluted
<02930> (8738)

with their idols
<01544>_.

23:31

Thou hast walked
<01980> (8804)

in the way
<01870>

of thy sister
<0269>_;

therefore will I give
<05414> (8804)

her cup
<03563>

into thine hand
<03027>_.

23:32

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Thou shalt drink
<08354> (8799)

of thy sister's
<0269>

cup
<03563>

deep
<06013>

and large
<07342>_:

thou shalt be laughed to scorn
<06712>

and had in derision
<03933>_;

it containeth
<03557> (8687)

much
<04767>_.

23:33

Thou shalt be filled
<04390> (8735)

with drunkenness
<07943>

and sorrow
<03015>_,

with the cup
<03563>

of astonishment
<08047>

and desolation
<08077>_,

with the cup
<03563>

of thy sister
<0269>

Samaria
<08111>_.

23:34

Thou shalt even drink
<08354> (8804)

it and suck [it] out
<04680> (8804)_,

and thou shalt break
<01633> (8762)

the sherds
<02789>

thereof, and pluck off
<05423> (8762)

thine own breasts
<07699>_:

for I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it], saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

23:35

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me, and cast
<07993> (8686)

me behind
<0310>

thy back
<01458>_,

therefore bear
<05375> (8798)

thou also thy lewdness
<02154>

and thy whoredoms
<08457>_.

23:36

The LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover unto me; Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)

Aholah
<0170>

and Aholibah
<0172>_?

yea, declare
<05046> (8685)

unto them their abominations
<08441>_;

{judge: or, plead for}

23:37

That they have committed adultery
<05003> (8765)_,

and blood
<01818>

[is] in their hands
<03027>_,

and with their idols
<01544>

have they committed adultery
<05003> (8765)_,

and have also caused their sons
<01121>_,

whom they bare
<03205> (8804)

unto me, to pass for them through
<05674> (8689)

[the fire], to devour
<0402>

[them].

23:38

Moreover this they have done
<06213> (8804)

unto me: they have defiled
<02930> (8765)

my sanctuary
<04720>

in the same day
<03117>_,

and have profaned
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_.

23:39

For when they had slain
<07819> (8800)

their children
<01121>

to their idols
<01544>_,

then they came
<0935> (8799)

the same day
<03117>

into my sanctuary
<04720>

to profane
<02490> (8763)

it; and, lo, thus have they done
<06213> (8804)

in the midst
<08432>

of mine house
<01004>_.

23:40

And furthermore
<0637>_,

that ye have sent
<07971> (8799)

for men
<0582>

to come
<0935> (8802)

from far
<04801>_,

unto whom a messenger
<04397>

[was] sent
<07971> (8803)_;

and, lo, they came
<0935> (8804)_:

for whom thou didst wash
<07364> (8804)

thyself, paintedst
<03583> (8804)

thy eyes
<05869>_,

and deckedst
<05710> (8804)

thyself with ornaments
<05716>_,

{to come: Heb. coming}

23:41

And satest
<03427> (8804)

upon a stately
<03520>

bed
<04296>_,

and a table
<07979>

prepared
<06186> (8803)

before
<06440>

it, whereupon thou hast set
<07760> (8804)

mine incense
<07004>

and mine oil
<08081>_.

{stately: Heb. honourable}

23:42

And a voice
<06963>

of a multitude
<01995>

being at ease
<07961>

[was] with her: and with the men
<0582>

of the common sort
<07230> <0120>

[were] brought
<0935> (8716)

Sabeans
<05436> (8675) <05433> (8802)

from the wilderness
<04057>_,

which put
<05414> (8799)

bracelets
<06781>

upon their hands
<03027>_,

and beautiful
<08597>

crowns
<05850>

upon their heads
<07218>_.

{of the...: Heb. of the multitude of men} {Sabeans: or, drunkards}

23:43

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I unto [her that was] old
<01087>

in adulteries
<05004>_,

Will they now commit
<02181> (8799)

whoredoms
<08457>

with her, and she [with them]? {whoredoms...: Heb. her whoredoms}

23:44

Yet they went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her, as they go in
<0935> (8800)

unto a woman
<0802>

that playeth the harlot
<02181> (8802)_:

so went they in
<0935> (8804)

unto Aholah
<0170>

and unto Aholibah
<0172>_,

the lewd
<02154>

women
<0802>_.

23:45

And the righteous
<06662>

men
<0582>_,

they shall judge
<08199> (8799)

them after the manner
<04941>

of adulteresses
<05003> (8802)_,

and after the manner
<04941>

of women that shed
<08210> (8802)

blood
<01818>_;

because they [are] adulteresses
<05003> (8802)_,

and blood
<01818>

[is] in their hands
<03027>_.

23:46

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

I will bring up
<05927> (8687)

a company
<06951>

upon them, and will give
<05414> (8800)

them to be removed
<02189>

and spoiled
<0957>_.

{to be...: Heb. for a removing and spoil}

23:47

And the company
<06951>

shall stone
<07275> (8804)

them with stones
<068>_,

and dispatch
<01254> (8763)

them with their swords
<02719>_;

they shall slay
<02026> (8799)

their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>_,

and burn up
<08313> (8799)

their houses
<01004>

with fire
<0784>_.

{dispatch...: or, single them out}

23:48

Thus will I cause lewdness
<02154>

to cease
<07673> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>_,

that all women
<0802>

may be taught
<03256> (8739)

not to do
<06213> (8799)

after your lewdness
<02154>_.

23:49

And they shall recompense
<05414> (8804)

your lewdness
<02154>

upon you, and ye shall bear
<05375> (8799)

the sins
<02399>

of your idols
<01544>_:

and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.
