1: And Again cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 to meH0413 saying,H0559

2: SonH1121 of man,H0120 cause to knowH3045 -H0853 JerusalemH3389 -H0853 her abominations,H8441

3: and say,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GODH3069 to Jerusalem-H3389 Your birthH4351 and your nativity [are]H4138 from the landH0776 of the Canaanite-H3669 your father [was]H0001 an Amorite,H0567 and your motherH0517 a Hittite.H2850

4: And [As for] your nativity,H4138 on the dayH3117 were bornH3205 youH0853 notH3808 was cut,H3772 your navel [cord]H8270 and in waterH4325 norH3808 were you washedH7364 to cleanse [you]H4935 and,H4414 notH3808 you were rubbed with salt,H4414 andH2853 norH3808 wrapped in swaddling cloths.H2853

5: NoH3808 pitiedH2347 youH5921 eyeH5869 to doH6213 oneH0259 of these [things]H0428 to have compassionH2550 on youH5921 but you were thrown outH7993 intoH0413 openH6440 the field,H7704 when were loathedH1604 you yourself,H5315 on the dayH3117 were bornH3205 you.H0853

6: And when I passedH5674 by youH5921 and saw youH7200 strugglingH0947 in your own blood,H1818 and I saidH0559 in your blood,H1818 Live-H2421 and Yes I saidH0559 in your blood,H1818 Live.H2421

7: Ten thousandH7233 like a plant inH6780 the field,H7704 I made youH5414 and you grewH7235 and matured,H1431 and becameH0935 beautifulH1157 veryH5716 [Your] breastsH7699 were formed,H3559 and your hairH8181 grew,H6779 but you [were]H0859 nakedH5903 and bare.H6181

8: And when again I passedH5674 by youH5921 and looked upon youH7200 and indeed,H2009 your time [was]H6256 the timeH6256 of love-H1730 so I spreadH6566 My wingH3671 over youH5921 and coveredH3680 your nakedness.H6172 And Yes I swore an oathH7650 and enteredH0935 into a covenantH1285 with youH0854 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 and you becameH1961

9: And I washed youH7364 in water-H4325 and yes I thoroughly washed offH7857 bloodH1818 yourH5921 and I anointed youH5480 with oil.H8081

10: And I clothed youH3847 in embroidered cloth,H7553 and gave you sandalsH5274 of badger skin,H8476 and I clothed youH2280 with fine linen,H8336 and covered youH3680 with silk.H4897

11: And I adorned youH5710 with ornaments,H5716 and putH5414 braceletsH6781 onH5921 your wrists,H3027 and a chainH7242 onH5921 your neck.H1627

12: And I putH5414 a jewelH5141 inH5921 your nose,H0639 and earringsH5694 inH5921 your ears,H0241 and a crownH5850 beautifulH8597 on your head.H7218

13: Thus you were adornedH5710 with goldH2091 and silver-H3701 and your clothing [was]H4403 [of] fine linen,H8336 and silk,H4897 and embroidered cloth-H7553 [pastry of] fine flour,H5560 and honey,H1706 and oil-H8081 You ateH0398 and You were beautiful,H3302 -H3966 exceedinglyH3966 and succeededH6743 to royalty.H4410

14: And went outH3318 fameH8034 among the nationsH1471 because of your beauty,H3308 forH3588 perfectH3632 it [was]H1931 through My splendor,H1926 whichH0834 I had bestowedH7760 on youH5921 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3068

15: But you trustedH0982 in your own beauty,H3308 and played the harlotH2181 becauseH5921 of your fame,H8034 and poured outH8210 -H0853 your harlotryH8457 onH5921 everyoneH3605 passing by-H5674 [would have] it.H1961

16: And You took,H3947 some of your garmentsH0899 and adornedH6213 high placesH1116 multicolored,H2921 and played the harlotH2181 on them-H5921 notH3808 [Such] things should happen,H0935 norH3808 be.H1961

17: And You have takenH3947 jewelryH3627 your beautifulH8597 from My goldH2091 and My silver,H3701 whichH0834 I had givenH5414 and madeH6213 imagesH6754 male,H2145 and played the harlotH2181

18: And You tookH3947 -H0853 garments,H0899 your embroideredH7553 and covered themH3680 and My oilH8081 and My incenseH7004 you setH5414 before them.H6440

19: And My foodH3899 whichH0834 I gaveH5414 the [pastry] of fine flour,H5560 and oil,H8081 and honey,H1706 [which] I fed youH0398 and you set itH5414 before themH6440 as incense-H7381 sweetH5207 and [so] it was,H1961 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3069

20: Moreover you tookH3947 -H0853 your sonsH1121 andH0853 your daughters,H1323 whomH0834 you boreH3205 and these you sacrificedH2076 to be devoured.H0398 [Were] a small matter,H4592 your [acts] of harlotry.H8457

21: That you have slainH7819 -H0853 My children,H1121 and offered them upH5414 by causing to pass through [the fire]H5674 themH0853

22: AndH0853 in allH3605 your abominationsH8441 and [acts] of harlotryH8457 notH3808 you did rememberH2142 -H0853 the daysH3117 of your youth,H5271 when you wereH1961 nakedH5903 and bare,H6181 strugglingH0947 in your bloodH1818 were.H1961

23: And it was soH1961 afterH0310 allH3605 your wickedness,H7451 Woe,H0188 woeH0188 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3069

24: And [that] you builtH1129 a shrine,H1354 and madeH6213 a high placeH7413 in everyH3605 street.H7339

25: AtH0413 everyH3605 the headH7218 of road,H1870 and You builtH1129 your high placesH7413 and made to be abhorred,H8581 andH0853 You offeredH3308 your beautyH6589 -H0853 yourselfH7272 to everyoneH3605 who passed by,H5674 and multipliedH7235 -H0853 your [acts] of harlotry.H8457

26: And You committed harlotryH2181 withH0413 withH1121 EgyptH4714 your neighbors,H7934 veryH1432 fleshly-H1320 and increasedH7235 -H0853 your [acts] of harlotry,H8457 to provoke Me to anger.H3707

27: Therefore behold,H2009 I stretched outH5186 My handH3027 against youH5921 and diminishedH1639 your allotmentH2706 and gave you upH5414 to the willH5315 of those who hate youH8130 the daughtersH1323 of the Philistines,H6430 who were ashamedH3637 of your behaviorH1870 lewd.H2154

28: And You played the harlotH2181 withH0413 withH1121 AssyriaH0804 becauseH1115 you were insatiable.H7646 And indeed you played the harlot with themH2181 and stillH1571 notH3808 were satisfied.H7654

29: Moreover you multipliedH7235 -H0853 your [acts] of harlotryH8457 untoH0413 the landH0776 of the traderH3667 Chaldea-H3778 and evenH1571 in thisH2063 notH3808 you were satisfied.H7646

30: HowH4100 degenerate isH0535 your heart,H3826 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 seeing you doH6213 -H0853 allH3605 these [things]H0428 the deedsH4639 of-H0802 a harlotH2181 brazen.H7986

31: You erectedH1129 your shrineH1354 at the headH7218 of everyH3605 road,H1870 and your high placeH7413 builtH6213 in everyH3605 street-H7339 and yet notH3808 you wereH1961 like a harlot,H2181 because you scornedH7046 payment-H0868

32: wifeH0802 [You are] an adulterous,H5003 insteadH8478 of her husband!H0376 [who] takesH3947 -H0853 strangers.H2114

33: To allH3605 harlots,H2181 Men makeH5414 paymentH5078 but youH0859 madeH5414 -H0853 your paymentsH5083 to allH3605 your lovers,H0157 and hiredH7809 themH0853 to comeH0935 to youH0413 from all aroundH5439 for your harlotry.H8457

34: And areH1961 the oppositeH2016 ofH4480 [other] womenH0802 in your harlotry,H8457 and because solicited youH0310 no oneH3808 to be a harlot-H2181 and in that you gaveH5414 payment,H0868 but paymentH0868 noH3808 was givenH5414 therefore you areH1961 the opposite.H2016

35: Now then,H3651 harlot,H2181 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Yahweh.H3068

36: ThusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 becauseH3282 was poured out,H8210 your filthinessH5178 and uncoveredH1540 your nakednessH6172 in your harlotryH8457 withH5921 your lovers,H0157 and withH5921 allH3605 idolsH1544 your abominable,H8441 and because of the bloodH1818 of your children,H1121 whichH0834 you gaveH5414

37: ThereforeH3651 surely IH2005 will gatherH6908 -H0853 allH3605 your lovers,H0157 whomH0834 you took pleasure,H6149 withH5921 andH0853 allH3605 all thoseH0834 you loved,H0157 withH5921 [and] allH3605 thoseH0834 you hated-H8130 and I will gatherH6908 themH0853 against youH5921 from all aroundH5439 and will uncoverH1540 your nakednessH6172 to themH0413 that they may seeH7200 -H0853 allH3605 your nakedness.H6172

38: And I will judge youH8199 are judged-H4941 as women who break wedlockH5003 or shedH8210 bloodH1818 and I will bring upon youH5414 bloodH1818 in furyH2534 and jealousy.H7068

39: And I will giveH5414 youH0853 into their hand,H3027 and they shall throw downH2040 your shrines,H1354 and break downH5422 your high places-H7413 and they shall stripH6584 youH0853 of your clothes,H0899 and takeH3947 jewelry,H3627 your beautifulH8597 and leave youH3240 nakedH5903 and bare.H6181

40: And they shall bring upH5927 against youH5921 an assemblyH6951 and they shall stoneH7275 youH0853 with stones,H0068 and thrust you throughH1333 with their swords.H2719

41: And they shall burnH8313 your housesH1004 with fire,H0784 and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in the sightH5869 of women.H0802 ManyH7227 and I will make you ceaseH7673 [playing] the harlot,H2181 andH1571 loversH0868 noH3808 you shall hireH5414 longer.H5750

42: So I will lay to rest,H5117 My furyH2534 and shall departH5493 My jealousyH7068 from youH4480 and I will be quiet,H8252 and noH3808 be angryH3707 more.H5750

43: BecauseH3282 thatH0834 notH3808 you did rememberH2142 -H0853 the daysH3117 of your youth,H5271 but agitatedH7264 with allH3605 these [things]H0428 and alsoH1571 IH0589 surely,H1887 your deedsH1870 on [your own] head,H7218 will recompenseH5414 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 and notH3808 you shall commitH6213 -H0853 lewdnessH2154 in addition toH5921 allH3605 your abominations.H8441

44: Indeed,H2009 everyoneH3605 who quotes proverbsH4911 against youH5921 will use [this] proverbH4911 -,H0559 Like mother,H0517 like daughter.H1323

45: Daughter,H1323 of your motherH0517 You [are]H0859 loathingH1602 husbandH0376 and children-H1121 and the sisterH0269 of your sisters,H0269 you [are]H0859 whoH0834 loathedH1602 their husbandsH0582 and children.H1121 Your mother [was]H0517 a HittiteH2850 and your fatherH0001 an Amorite.H0567

46: And Your sisterH0269 elderH1419 Samaria,H8111 isH1931 and with her daughtersH1323 who dwellsH3427 toH5921 the north of you-H8040 and sister,H0269 youngerH6996 your,H4480 who dwellsH3427 to the south of you,H3225 [is] SodomH5467 and her daughters.H1323

47: And notH3808 in their ways,H1870 You did walkH1980 nor according to their abominations-H8441 actH6213 but as [if that were] tooH4592 littleH6985 and you became more corruptH7843 than theyH2004 in allH3605 your ways.H1870

48: Live,H2416 [As] IH0589 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 neitherH0518 have done,H6213 SodomH5467 your sisterH0269 sheH1931 nor her daughters,H1323 asH0834 have done,H6213 youH0859 and your daughters.H1323

49: Look,H2009 thisH2088 wasH1961 the iniquityH5771 of Sodom,H5467 your sisterH0269 pride,H1347 fullnessH7653 of food,H3899 and abundanceH7962 of idlenessH8252 hadH1961 and her daughter,H1323 and the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needyH0034 neitherH3808 did she strengthen.H2388

50: And they were haughty,H1361 and committedH6213 abominationH8441 before MeH6440 therefore I took awayH5493 themH0853 asH0834 I saw [fit].H7200

51: And SamariaH8111 halfH2677 of your sins-H2403 notH3808 did commitH2398 but you have multiplied moreH7235 -H0853 your abominationsH8441 than theyH2007 and have justifiedH6663 -H0853 your sistersH0269 by allH3605 the abominationsH8441 whichH0834 you have done.H6213

52: Also,H1571 YouH0859 bearH5375 your own shameH3639 whoH0834 judgedH6419 your sisters,H0269 because the sinsH2403 whichH0834 you committed were more abominableH8581 than theirsH2004 they are more righteousH6663 than youH4480 and Yes also,H1571 youH0859 be disgracedH0954 and bearH5375 your own shame,H3639 because you justifiedH6663 your sisters.H0269

53: And when I bring backH7725 -H0853 their captives,H7622 -H0853 the captives ofH7622 SodomH5467 and her daughters,H1323 andH0853 the captives ofH7622 SamariaH8111 and her daughters,H1323 then [I will also] ]bring back] the captives ofH7622 your captivityH7628 among them.H8432

54: ThatH4616 you may bearH5375 your own shame,H3639 and be disgracedH3637 by allH3605 thatH0834 you did,H6213 when you comfortedH5162 them.H0854

55: And when your sisters,H0269 SodomH5467 and her daughters,H1323 returnH7725 to their former state,H6927 and SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323 returnH7725 to their former state,H6927 then youH0859 and your daughtersH1323 will returnH7725 to your former state.H6927

56: For notH3808 wasH1961 SodomH5467 your sisterH0269 a bywordH8052 in your mouthH6310 in the daysH3117 of your pride,H1347

57: beforeH2962 was uncovered,H1540 your wickednessH7451 it was likeH3644 the timeH6256 of the reproachH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of Syria,H0758 and allH3605 [those] around herH5439 and of the daughtersH1323 of the Philistines,H6430 who despiseH7590 youH0853 everywhere.H5439

58: -H0853 Your lewdnessH2154 andH0853 your abominations,H8441 YouH0859 have paid forH5375 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

59: ForH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 I will dealH6213 with youH0854 asH0834 you have done,H6213 whoH0834 despisedH0959 the oathH0423 by breakingH6565 the covenant.H1285

60: And nevertheless will rememberH2142 IH0589 -H0853 My covenantH1285 with youH0854 in the daysH3117 of your youth,H5271 and I will establishH6965 covenantH1285 an everlasting.H5769

61: And you will rememberH2142 -H0853 your ways,H1870 and be ashamed,H3637 when you receiveH3947 -H0853 sisters,H0269 olderH1419 your.H4480 ToH0413 and younger-H6996 yourH4480 for I will giveH5414 themH0853 for daughters,H1323 but notH3808 because of My covenant with you.H1285

62: And will establishH6965 IH0589 -H0853 My covenantH1285 with youH0854 and you shall knowH3045 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 Yahweh,H3068

63: thatH4616 you may remember,H2142 and be ashamed,H0954 and neverH3808 becomeH1961 anymoreH5750 openH6610 your mouthH6310 becauseH6440 of your shame,H3639 when I provide an atonementH3722 forH3605 allH0834 you have done,H6213 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3069
