EZE-16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
EZE-16:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy
birth and thy nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father
[was] an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
EZE-16:4 And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born
thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to
supple [thee]; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
EZE-16:5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to
have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open
field, to the loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast
born.
EZE-16:6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in
thine own blood, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood,
Live; yea, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.
EZE-16:7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field,
and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to
excellent ornaments: [thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair
is grown, whereas thou [wast] naked and bare.
EZE-16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold,
thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over
thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and
entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou
becamest mine.
EZE-16:9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed
away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
EZE-16:10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee
with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and
I covered thee with silk.
EZE-16:11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets
upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
EZE-16:12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in
thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
EZE-16:13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy
raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou
didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast
exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
EZE-16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy
beauty: for it [was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had
put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst
the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy
fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
EZE-16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy
high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot
thereupon: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be
[so].
EZE-16:17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of
my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images
of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
EZE-16:18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them:
and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
EZE-16:19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil,
and honey, [wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before
them for a sweet savour: and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-16:20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters,
whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed
unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms a small
matter,
EZE-16:21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them
to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?
EZE-16:22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou
hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked
and bare, [and] wast polluted in thy blood.
EZE-16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe,
woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;)
EZE-16:24 [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place,
and hast made thee an high place in every street.
EZE-16:25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the
way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened
thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy
whoredoms.
EZE-16:26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the
Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy
whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
EZE-16:27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over
thee, and have diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered
thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the
Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
EZE-16:28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians,
because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot
with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
EZE-16:29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the
land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied
herewith.
EZE-16:30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing
thou doest all these [things], the work of an imperious whorish
woman;
EZE-16:31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head
of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and
hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
EZE-16:32 [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which]
taketh strangers instead of her husband!
EZE-16:33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy
gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come
unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
EZE-16:34 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy
whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and
in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee,
therefore thou art contrary.
EZE-16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
EZE-16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was
poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms
with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and
by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
EZE-16:37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with
whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast
loved, with all [them] that thou hast hated; I will even gather
them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness
unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
EZE-16:38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and
shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and
jealousy.
EZE-16:39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they
shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy
high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and
shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
EZE-16:40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and
they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with
their swords.
EZE-16:41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and
execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I
will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also
shalt give no hire any more.
