They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. She became notorious<n id="1" /> among women, and they executed judgments against her.p>

The Babylonians crawled into bed with her.<n id="1" /> They defiled her with their lust; after she was defiled by them, she<n id="2" /> became disgusted with them.

When she lustfully exposed her nakedness,<n id="1" /> I<n id="2" /> was disgusted with her, just as I<n id="3" /> had been disgusted with her sister.

So I will put an end to your obscene conduct and your prostitution which you have practiced in the land of Egypt.<n id="1" /> You will not seek their help<n id="2" /> or remember Egypt anymore.p>

For they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and their sons, whom they bore to me,<n id="1" /> they have passed through the fire as food to their idols.<n id="2" />

On the same day they slaughtered their sons for their idols, they came to my sanctuary to desecrate it. This is what they have done in the middle of my house.p>

But upright men will punish them appropriately for their adultery and bloodshed,<n id="1" /> because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.p>

That army will pelt them with stones and slash them with their swords; they will kill their sons and daughters and burn their houses.<n id="1" />

<p class="poetry">You mix uncleanness with obscene conduct.<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">I tried to cleanse you,<n id="2" /> but you are not clean.p> <p class="poetry">You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">until I have exhausted my anger on you.p>

&#8220;Son of man, realize that I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you with a jolt,<n id="1" /> but you must not mourn or weep or shed tears.

On that day you will be able to speak again;<n id="1" /> you will talk with the fugitive and be silent no longer. You will be an object lesson for them, and they will know that I am the <sc>Lordsc>.&#8221;p>

So look, I am about to open up Moab&#8217;s flank,<n id="1" /> eliminating the cities,<n id="2" /> including its frontier cities,<n id="3" /> the beauty of the land &#8211; Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.

I will exact great vengeance upon them with angry rebukes.<n id="1" /> Then they will know that I am the <sc>Lordsc>, when I exact my vengeance upon them.&#8217;&#8221;p>

With his horses&#8217; hoofs he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will tumble down to the ground.

<p class="poetry">They crafted<n id="1" /> all your planks out of fir trees from Senir;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">they took a cedar from Lebanon to make your mast.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;No longer will Israel suffer from the sharp briers<n id="1" /> or painful thorns of all who surround and scorn them.<n id="2" /> Then they will know that I am the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.p>

<p class="poetry">I will put hooks in your jawsp> <p class="poetry">and stick the fish of your waterways to your scales.p> <p class="poetry">I will haul you up from the midst of your waterways,p> <p class="poetry">and all the fish of your waterways will stick to your scales.p>

I am against<n id="1" /> you and your waterways. I will turn the land of Egypt into an utter desolate ruin from Migdol<n id="2" /> to Syene,<n id="3" /> as far as the border with Ethiopia.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;For this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: At the end of forty years<n id="1" /> I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered.

I have given him the land of Egypt as his compensation for attacking Tyre<n id="1" />, because they did it for me, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.
