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

2: SonH1121 of man,H0120 twoH8147 women,H0802 the daughtersH1323 of mother-H0517 oneH0259 there were.H1961

3: And they committed harlotryH2181 in Egypt-H4714 in their youth-H5271 they committed harlotryH2181 thereH8033 were pressed,H4600 their breastsH7699 and thereH8033 was embracedH6213 bosomH1717 their virgin.H1331

4: And their namesH8034 OholahH0170 the elder,H1419 and OholibahH0172 her sister.H0269 And they wereH1961 and they boreH3205 sonsH1121 and daughters.H1323 And [As] [for] their names-H8034 Samaria [is]H8111 Oholah,H0170 and Jerusalem [is]H3389 Oholibah.H0172

5: And played the harlotH2181 OholahH0170 even though she was MineH8478 and she lustedH5689 forH5921 her lovers,H0157 onH0413 AssyriaH0804 neighboring,H7138

6: [Who] [were] clothed inH3847 purple,H8504 CaptainsH6346 and rulers,H5461 young men,H0970 desirableH2531 all of themH3605 HorsemenH6571 riding onH7392 horses.H5483

7: Thus she committedH5414 her harlotryH8457 with themH5921 choiceH4005 menH1121 of Assyria,H0804 all of themH3605 and with allH3605 for whomH0834 she lusted-H5689 with allH3605 their idolsH1544 she defiled herself.H2930

8: AndH0853 her harlotryH8457 [brought] from EgyptH4714 neverH3808 she has given upH5800 forH3588 with herH0854 they had lainH7901 in her youthH5271 and theyH1992 pressedH6213 bosomH1717 her virgin,H1331 and poured outH8210 their immoralityH8457 upon her.H5921

9: ThereforeH3651 I have delivered herH5414 Into the handH3027 of her lovers,H0157 Into the handH3027 ofH1121 AssyriaH0804 for whomH0834 she lustedH5689 on.H5921

10: TheyH1992 uncoveredH1540 her nakedness-H6172 her sonsH1121 and daughters,H1323 Took awayH3947 and herH0853 with the sword.H2719 SlewH2026 and she becameH1961 a bywordH8034 among women-H0802 and for judgmentH8196 they had executedH6213

11: And although saw [this]H7200 her sisterH0269 OholibahH0172 and she became more corruptH7843 in her lustH5691 than sheH4480 andH0853 in her harlotryH8457 more corrupt than harlotryH2183 her sister's.H0269

12: ForH0413 the AssyriansH1121 AssyriaH0804 she lustedH5689 CaptainsH6346 and rulersH5461 neighboring,H7138 ClothedH3847 most gorgeously,H4358 HorsemenH6571 riding onH7392 horses,H5483 young menH0970 desirableH2531 all of them.H3605

13: And I sawH7200 thatH3588 she was defiled,H2930 way,H1870 oneH0259 the two of them [took].H8147

14: But she increasedH3254 toH0413 her harlotry.H8457 And she looked atH7200 menH0376 portrayedH2707 onH5921 the wall,H7023 ImagesH6754 ChaldeansH3778 portrayedH2710 in vermilion,H8350

15: Girded withH2289 beltsH0232 around their waists,H4975 FlowingH5628 turbansH2871 on their heads,H7218 looking like,H4758 captainsH7991 all of themH3605 in the mannerH1823 ofH1121 BabylonH0894 Chaldea,H3778 the landH0776 of their nativity.H4138 She lustedH5689 for themH5921 as soon as saw themH4758 her eyes,H5869 and sentH7971 messengersH4397 to themH0413 in Chaldea.H3778

17: And cameH0935 to herH0413 the BabyloniansH1121 BabylonH0894 into the bedH4904 of love,H1730 and they defiledH2930 herH0853 with their immorality,H8457 so she was defiledH2930 and alienatedH3363 herselfH5315 from them.H1992

18: And she revealedH1540 her harlotry,H8457 and uncoveredH1540 -H0853 her nakedness-H6172 and alienatedH3363 MyselfH5315 from herH5921 asH0834 I had alienatedH5361 MyselfH5315 fromH5921 her sister.H0269

19: And yet she multipliedH7235 -H0853 her harlotry,H8457 in calling to remembranceH2142 -H0853 the daysH3117 of her youth,H5271 whenH0834 she had played the harlotH2181 in the landH0776 of Egypt.H4714

20: And for she lustedH5689 forH5921 her paramours,H6370 WhoseH0834 the fleshH1320 of donkeys,H2543 flesh [is] [like]H1320 and the issueH2231 of horsesH5483 whose issue [is] [like].H2231

21: Thus you called to remembranceH6485 -H0853 the lewdnessH2154 of your youth,H5271 when pressedH6213 EgyptH4714 your bosomH1717 becauseH4616 of breastsH7699 your youthful.H5271

22: Therefore,H3651 Oholibah,H0172 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 behold IH2005 will stir upH5782 -H0853 your loversH0157 against youH5921 -H0853 from whomH0834 you have alienated,H5361 yourselfH5315 theyH1992 and I will bring themH0935 against youH5921 from every side-H5439

23: the sonsH1121 of BabylonH0894 and allH3605 the Chaldeans,H3778 Pekod,H6489 and Shoa,H7772 and Koa,H6970 allH3605 the AssyriansH1121 AssyriaH0804 with themH0854 young men,H0970 desirableH2531 GovernorsH6346 and rulers,H5461 all of themH3605 CaptainsH7991 and men of renown,H7121 riding onH7392 horsesH5483 all of them.H3605

24: And they shall comeH0935 against youH5921 with chariots,H2021 wagons,H7393 and war-horses,H1534 and with a hordeH6951 of people,H5971 BucklerH6793 and shieldH4043 and helmetH6959 they shall arrayH7760 against youH5921 all around-H5439 and I will delegateH5414 to themH6440 judgmentH4941 and they shall judge youH8199 according to their judgments.H4941

25: And I will setH5414 My jealousyH7068 and they shall dealH6213 with youH0854 furiouslyH2534 your noseH0639 and your ears-H0241 they shall removeH5493 and your remnantH0319 by the sword.H2719 Shall fallH5307 theyH1992 your sonsH1121 and your daughters-H1323 shall takeH3947 and your remnantH0319 shall be devouredH0398 by fire.H0784

26: And they shall strip youH6584 ofH0853 your clothes,H0899 and take awayH3947 your jewelryH3627 beautiful.H8597

27: Thus I will make ceaseH7673 your lewdnessH2154 youH4480 andH0853 your harlotryH2184 [Brought] from the landH0776 of Egypt-H4714 so that notH3808 you will liftH5375 your eyesH5869 to themH0413 and EgyptH4714 norH3808 rememberH2142 anymore.H5750

28: ForH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GODH3068 surelyH2005 I will deliver youH5414 into the hand of thoseH3027 whomH0834 you hate,H8130 into the hand [of] [those]H3027 from whomH0834 yourselfH5361 you alienatedH5315 They.H1992

29: And they will dealH6213 with youH0854 hatefully,H8135 and take awayH3947 allH3605 you have worked for,H3018 and leave youH5800 nakedH5903 and bare.H6181 And shall be uncovered,H1540 the nakednessH6172 of your harlotryH2183 and both your lewdnessH2154 and your harlotry.H8457

30: I will doH6213 these [things]H0428 because you have gone as a harlotH2181 afterH0310 the Gentiles,H1471 uponH5921 thatH0834 you have become defiledH2930 by their idols.H1544

31: In the wayH1870 of your sister-H0269 You have walkedH1980 and therefore I will putH5414 her cupH3563 in your hand.H3027

32: ThusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 of cupH3563 of your sisterH0269 You shall drinkH8354 the deepH6013 and wide one.H7342 You shall beH1961 laughed to scornH6712 and held in derisionH3932 muchH4767 it contains.H3557

33: DrunkennessH7943 and sorrow,H3015 You will be filled withH4390 the cupH3563 of horrorH8047 and desolation,H8077 the cupH3563 of your sisterH0269 Samaria.H8111

34: And You shall drinkH8354 -H0853 and drain it,H4680 andH0853 its shardsH2789 You shall breakH1633 and your own breasts-H7699 tear atH5423 forH3588 IH0589 have spokenH1696 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3069

35: ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 becauseH3282 you have forgottenH7911 MeH0853 and castH7993 MeH0853 behindH0310 your back,H1458 and thereforeH1571 youH0859 shall bear the [penalty]H5375 [Of] your lewdnessH2154 andH0853 your harlotry.H8457

36: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 to meH0413 SonH1121 of man,H0120 will you judgeH8199 -H0853 OholahH0170 andH0853 Oholibah?H0172 and declareH5046 -H0853 their abominations-H8441

37: forH3588 they have committed adultery,H5003 and blood [is]H1818 on their hands,H3027 andH0854 with their idolsH1544 they have committed adultery,H5003 and evenH1571 -H0853 [sacrificed] their sons,H1121 whomH0834 they boreH3205 passing through the [fire]H5674 for food.H0402

38: MoreoverH5750 thisH2063 they have doneH6213 they have defiledH2930 -H0853 My sanctuaryH4720 on day,H3117 thatH1931 andH0853 My SabbathsH7676 profaned.H2490

39: And for after they had slainH7819 -H0853 their childrenH1121 for their idols,H1544 and they cameH0935 intoH0413 My sanctuaryH4720 on dayH3117 thatH1931 to profane itH2490 and indeed,H2009 thusH3541 they have doneH6213 in the midstH8432 of My house.H1004

40: And,H0637 FurthermoreH3588 you sentH7971 for menH0376 to comeH0935 from afar,H4801 to whomH0834 a messengerH4397 [was] sent-H7971 untoH0413 and there,H2009 they came-H0935 for themH0834 and you washed yourselfH7364 paintedH3583 your eyes,H5869 and adorned yourselfH5710 with ornaments,H5716

41: and You satH3427 onH5921 a couch,H4296 statelyH3520 and with a tableH7979 preparedH6186 before itH6440 and My incenseH7004 and My oilH8081 you had setH7760 on which.H5921

42: And the soundH6963 of a multitudeH1995 carefreeH7961 and withH0413 menH0376 of manyH7230 peopleH0120 [were] broughtH0935 SabeansH5433 from the wilderness,H4057 and who putH5414 braceletsH6781 onH0413 their wrists,H3027 and crownsH5850 beautifulH8597 onH5921 their heads.H7218

43: And I saidH0559 concerning [her] [who] [had] [grown] oldH1087 in adulteries,H5004 will they commitH2181 harlotry with herH8457 and she [with] [them].H1931

44: And yet they went inH0935 to herH0413 as men go inH0935 toH0413 a womanH0802 who [plays] the harlot.H2181 ThusH3651 they went inH0935 toH0413 OholahH0170 andH0413 Oholibah,H0172 womenH0802 the lewd.H2154

45: But men,H0376 righteousH6662 theyH1992 will judgeH8199 themH0853 after the mannerH4941 of adulteresses,H5003 and after the manner of [women]H4941 who shedH8210 blood-H1818 becauseH3588 adulteresses,H5003 they [are]H2007 and blood [is]H1818 on their hands.H3027

46: ForH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 bring upH5927 against themH5921 an assemblyH6951 and give upH5414 themH0853 to troubleH2189 and plunder.H0957

47: And shall stoneH7275 themH5921 with stones,H0068 the assemblyH6951 and executeH1254 themH0853 with their swords-H2719 their sonsH1121 and their daughters,H1323 they shall slayH2026 and their housesH1004 with fireH0784 burn.H8313

48: Thus I will cause to ceaseH7673 lewdnessH2154 fromH4480 the land,H0776 that may be taughtH3256 allH3605 womenH0802 and notH3808 to practiceH6213 your lewdness.H2154

49: And they shall repayH5414 for your lewdnessH2154 youH5921 and for sinsH2399 your idolatrous-H1544 you shall payH5375 then you shall knowH3045 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 the LordH0136 GOD.H3069
