Ezekiel 8:9-17

8:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Go in
<0935> (8798)_,

and behold
<07200> (8798)

the wicked
<07451>

abominations
<08441>

that they do
<06213> (8802)

here.

8:10

So I went in
<0935> (8799)

and saw
<07200> (8799)_;

and behold every form
<08403>

of creeping things
<07431>_,

and abominable
<08263>

beasts
<0929>_,

and all the idols
<01544>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

pourtrayed
<02707> (8794)

upon the wall
<07023>

round about
<05439>_.

8:11

And there stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

them seventy
<07657>

men
<0376>

of the ancients
<02205>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and in the midst
<08432>

of them stood
<05975> (8802)

Jaazaniah
<02970>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

with every man
<0376>

his censer
<04730>

in his hand
<03027>_;

and a thick
<06282>

cloud
<06051>

of incense
<07004>

went up
<05927> (8802)_.

8:12

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)

what the ancients
<02205>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

do
<06213> (8802)

in the dark
<02822>_,

every man
<0376>

in the chambers
<02315>

of his imagery
<04906>_?

for they say
<0559> (8802)_,

The LORD
<03068>

seeth
<07200> (8802)

us not; the LORD
<03068>

hath forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_.

8:13

He said
<0559> (8799)

also unto me, Turn
<07725> (8799)

thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)

greater
<01419>

abominations
<08441>

that they do
<06213> (8802)_.

8:14

Then he brought
<0935> (8686)

me to the door
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>

which [was] toward the north
<06828>_;

and, behold, there sat
<03427> (8802)

women
<0802>

weeping
<01058> (8764)

for Tammuz
<08542>_.

8:15

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto me, Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)

[this], O son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_?

turn
<07725> (8799)

thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)

greater
<01419>

abominations
<08441>

than these.

8:16

And he brought
<0935> (8686)

me into the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

and, behold, at the door
<06607>

of the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

between the porch
<0197>

and the altar
<04196>_,

[were] about five
<02568>

and twenty
<06242>

men
<0376>_,

with their backs
<0268>

toward the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and their faces
<06440>

toward the east
<06924>_;

and they worshipped
<07812> (8693)

the sun
<08121>

toward the east
<06924>_.

8:17

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)

[this], O son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_?

Is it a light thing
<07043> (8738)

to the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

that they commit
<06213> (8800)

the abominations
<08441>

which they commit
<06213> (8804)

here? for they have filled
<04390> (8804)

the land
<0776>

with violence
<02555>_,

and have returned
<07725> (8799)

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

and, lo, they put
<07971> (8802)

the branch
<02156>

to their nose
<0639>_.

{Is it...: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit}

Ezekiel 16:1-63

16:1

Again the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

16:2

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

cause Jerusalem
<03389>

to know
<03045> (8685)

her abominations
<08441>_,

16:3

And say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_;

Thy birth
<04351>

and thy nativity
<04138>

[is] of the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03669>_;

thy father
<01>

[was] an Amorite
<0567>_,

and thy mother
<0517>

an Hittite
<02850>_.

{birth: Heb. cutting out, or, habitation}

16:4

And [as for] thy nativity
<04138>_,

in the day
<03117>

thou wast born
<03205> (8715)

thy navel
<08270>

was not cut
<03772> (8795)_,

neither wast thou washed
<07364> (8795)

in water
<04325>

to supple
<04935>

[thee]; thou wast not salted
<04414> (8717)

at all
<04414> (8715)_,

nor swaddled
<02853> (8795)

at all
<02853> (8715)_.

{to supple...: or, when I looked upon thee}

16:5

None eye
<05869>

pitied
<02347> (8804)

thee, to do
<06213> (8800)

any
<0259>

of these unto thee, to have compassion
<02550> (8800)

upon thee; but thou wast cast out
<07993> (8714)

in the open
<06440>

field
<07704>_,

to the lothing
<01604>

of thy person
<05315>_,

in the day
<03117>

that thou wast born
<03205> (8715)_.

16:6

And when I passed
<05674> (8799)

by thee, and saw
<07200> (8799)

thee polluted
<0947> (8711)

in thine own blood
<01818>_,

I said
<0559> (8799)

unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood
<01818>_,

Live
<02421> (8798)_;

yea, I said
<0559> (8799)

unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood
<01818>_,

Live
<02421> (8798)_.

{polluted: or, trodden under foot}

16:7

I have caused
<05414> (8804)

thee to multiply
<07233>

as the bud
<06780>

of the field
<07704>_,

and thou hast increased
<07235> (8799)

and waxen great
<01431> (8799)_,

and thou art come
<0935> (8799)

to excellent
<05716>

ornaments
<05716>_:

[thy] breasts
<07699>

are fashioned
<03559> (8738)_,

and thine hair
<08181>

is grown
<06779> (8765)_,

whereas thou [wast] naked
<05903>

and bare
<06181>_.

{caused...: Heb. made thee a million} {excellent...: Heb. ornament of ornaments}

16:8

Now when I passed
<05674> (8799)

by thee, and looked
<07200> (8799)

upon thee, behold, thy time
<06256>

[was] the time
<06256>

of love
<01730>_;

and I spread
<06566> (8799)

my skirt
<03671>

over thee, and covered
<03680> (8762)

thy nakedness
<06172>_:

yea, I sware
<07650> (8735)

unto thee, and entered
<0935> (8799)

into a covenant
<01285>

with thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

and thou becamest mine.

16:9

Then washed
<07364> (8799)

I thee with water
<04325>_;

yea, I throughly washed away
<07857> (8799)

thy blood
<01818>

from thee, and I anointed
<05480> (8799)

thee with oil
<08081>_.

{blood: Heb. bloods}

16:10

I clothed
<03847> (8686)

thee also with broidered work
<07553>_,

and shod
<05274> (8799)

thee with badgers' skin
<08476>_,

and I girded
<02280> (8799)

thee about with fine linen
<08336>_,

and I covered
<03680> (8762)

thee with silk
<04897>_.

16:11

I decked
<05710> (8799)

thee also with ornaments
<05716>_,

and I put
<05414> (8799)

bracelets
<06781>

upon thy hands
<03027>_,

and a chain
<07242>

on thy neck
<01627>_.

16:12

And I put
<05414> (8799)

a jewel
<05141>

on thy forehead
<0639>_,

and earrings
<05694>

in thine ears
<0241>_,

and a beautiful
<08597>

crown
<05850>

upon thine head
<07218>_.

{forehead: Heb. nose}

16:13

Thus wast thou decked
<05710> (8799)

with gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_;

and thy raiment
<04403>

[was of] fine linen
<08336> (8675) <08336>_,

and silk
<04897>_,

and broidered work
<07553>_;

thou didst eat
<0398> (8804)

fine flour
<05560>_,

and honey
<01706>_,

and oil
<08081>_:

and thou wast exceeding
<03966>

beautiful
<03302> (8799)_,

and thou didst prosper
<06743> (8799)

into a kingdom
<04410>_.

16:14

And thy renown
<08034>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

among the heathen
<01471>

for thy beauty
<03308>_:

for it [was] perfect
<03632>

through my comeliness
<01926>_,

which I had put
<07760> (8804)

upon thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

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>_.

16:53

When I shall bring again
<07725> (8804)

their captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>_,

the captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>

of Sodom
<05467>

and her daughters
<01323>_,

and the captivity
<07622> (8676) <07622>

of Samaria
<08111>

and her daughters
<01323>_,

then [will I bring again] the captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>

of thy captives
<07622>

in the midst
<08432>

of them:

16:54

That thou mayest bear
<05375> (8799)

thine own shame
<03639>_,

and mayest be confounded
<03637> (8738)

in all that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_,

in that thou art a comfort
<05162> (8763)

unto them.

16:55

When thy sisters
<0269>_,

Sodom
<05467>

and her daughters
<01323>_,

shall return
<07725> (8799)

to their former estate
<06927>_,

and Samaria
<08111>

and her daughters
<01323>

shall return
<07725> (8799)

to their former estate
<06927>_,

then thou and thy daughters
<01323>

shall return
<07725> (8799)

to your former estate
<06927>_.

16:56

For thy sister
<0269>

Sodom
<05467>

was not mentioned
<08052>

by thy mouth
<06310>

in the day
<03117>

of thy pride
<01347>_,

{mentioned: Heb. for a report, or, hearing} {pride: Heb. prides, or, excellencies}

16:57

Before thy wickedness
<07451>

was discovered
<01540> (8735)_,

as at the time
<06256>

of [thy] reproach
<02781>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Syria
<0758>_,

and all [that are] round about
<05439>

her, the daughters
<01323>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

which despise
<07590> (8801)

thee round about
<05439>_.

{Syria: Heb. Aram} {despise: or, spoil}

16:58

Thou hast borne
<05375> (8804)

thy lewdness
<02154>

and thine abominations
<08441>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{borne: Heb. borne them}

16:59

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

I will even deal
<06213> (8804)

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

which hast despised
<0959> (8804)

the oath
<0423>

in breaking
<06565> (8687)

the covenant
<01285>_.

16:60

Nevertheless I will remember
<02142> (8804)

my covenant
<01285>

with thee in the days
<03117>

of thy youth
<05271>_,

and I will establish
<06965> (8689)

unto thee an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_.

16:61

Then thou shalt remember
<02142> (8804)

thy ways
<01870>_,

and be ashamed
<03637> (8738)_,

when thou shalt receive
<03947> (8800)

thy sisters
<0269>_,

thine elder
<01419>

and thy younger
<06996>_:

and I will give
<05414> (8804)

them unto thee for daughters
<01323>_,

but not by thy covenant
<01285>_.

16:62

And I will establish
<06965> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>

with thee; and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:

16:63

That thou mayest remember
<02142> (8799)_,

and be confounded
<0954> (8804)_,

and never open
<06610>

thy mouth
<06310>

any more because
<06440>

of thy shame
<03639>_,

when I am pacified
<03722> (8763)

toward thee for all that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

Ezekiel 23:1-49

23:1

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came again unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

23:2

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

there were two
<08147>

women
<0802>_,

the daughters
<01323>

of one
<0259>

mother
<0517>_:

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>_.
