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>. |
