< Jezekiel 16 >

1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃
2 Son of man, testify to Jerusalem [of] her iniquities;
בֶּן־אָדָם הוֹדַע אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֶת־תּוֹעֲבֹתֶֽיהָ׃
3 and you shall say, Thus says the Lord to Jerusalem; Your root and your birth are of the land of Chanaan: your father was an Amorite, and your mother a Chettite.
וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה לִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם מְכֹרֹתַיִךְ וּמֹלְדֹתַיִךְ מֵאֶרֶץ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי אָבִיךְ הָאֱמֹרִי וְאִמֵּךְ חִתִּֽית׃
4 And [as for] your birth in the day wherein you were born, you did not bind your breasts, and you were not washed in water, neither was you salted with salt, neither was you swathed in swaddling-bands.
וּמוֹלְדוֹתַיִךְ בְּיוֹם הוּלֶּדֶת אוֹתָךְ לֹא־כָרַּת שָׁרֵּךְ וּבְמַיִם לֹא־רֻחַצְתְּ לְמִשְׁעִי וְהׇמְלֵחַ לֹא הֻמְלַחַתְּ וְהׇחְתֵּל לֹא חֻתָּֽלְתְּ׃
5 Nor did mine eye pity you, to do for you one of all these things, to feel at all for you; but you were cast out on the face of the field, because of the deformity of your person, in the day wherein you were born.
לֹא־חָסָה עָלַיִךְ עַיִן לַעֲשׂוֹת לָךְ אַחַת מֵאֵלֶּה לְחֻמְלָה עָלָיִךְ וַֽתֻּשְׁלְכִי אֶל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה בְּגֹעַל נַפְשֵׁךְ בְּיוֹם הֻלֶּדֶת אֹתָֽךְ׃
6 And I passed by to you, and saw you polluted in your blood; and I said to you, [Let there be] life out of your blood:
וָאֶעֱבֹר עָלַיִךְ וָֽאֶרְאֵךְ מִתְבּוֹסֶסֶת בְּדָמָיִךְ וָאֹמַר לָךְ בְּדָמַיִךְ חֲיִי וָאֹמַר לָךְ בְּדָמַיִךְ חֲיִֽי׃
7 increase; I have made you as the springing grass of the field. So you did increase and grow, and did enter into great cities: your breasts were set, and your hair grew, whereas you were naked and bare.
רְבָבָה כְּצֶמַח הַשָּׂדֶה נְתַתִּיךְ וַתִּרְבִּי וַֽתִּגְדְּלִי וַתָּבֹאִי בַּעֲדִי עֲדָיִים שָׁדַיִם נָכֹנוּ וּשְׂעָרֵךְ צִמֵּחַ וְאַתְּ עֵרֹם וְעֶרְיָֽה׃
8 And I passed by you and saw you, and, behold, [it was] your time and a time of resting; and I spread my wings over you, and covered your shame, and swear to you: and I entered into covenant with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
וָאֶעֱבֹר עָלַיִךְ וָאֶרְאֵךְ וְהִנֵּה עִתֵּךְ עֵת דֹּדִים וָאֶפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפִי עָלַיִךְ וָאֲכַסֶּה עֶרְוָתֵךְ וָאֶשָּׁבַֽע לָךְ וָאָבוֹא בִבְרִית אֹתָךְ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וַתִּֽהְיִי־לִֽי׃
9 And I washed you in water, and washed your blood from you, and anointed you with oil.
וָאֶרְחָצֵךְ בַּמַּיִם וָאֶשְׁטֹף דָּמַיִךְ מֵעָלָיִךְ וָאֲסֻכֵךְ בַּשָּֽׁמֶן׃
10 And I clothed you with embroidered [garments], and clothed you beneath with purple, and girded you with fine linen, and clothed you with silk,
וָאַלְבִּישֵׁךְ רִקְמָה וָאֶנְעֲלֵךְ תָּחַשׁ וָאֶחְבְּשֵׁךְ בַּשֵּׁשׁ וַאֲכַסֵּךְ מֶֽשִׁי׃
11 and decked you also with ornaments, and put bracelets on your hands, and a necklace on your neck.
וָאֶעְדֵּךְ עֶדִי וָאֶתְּנָה צְמִידִים עַל־יָדַיִךְ וְרָבִיד עַל־גְּרוֹנֵֽךְ׃
12 And I put a pendant on your nostril, and rings in your ears, and a crown of glory on your head.
וָאֶתֵּֽן־נֶזֶם עַל־אַפֵּךְ וַֽעֲגִילִים עַל־אׇזְנָיִךְ וַעֲטֶרֶת תִּפְאֶרֶת בְּרֹאשֵֽׁךְ׃
13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and variegated work: you did eat fine flour, and oil, and honey, and did become extremely beautiful.
וַתַּעְדִּי זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וּמַלְבּוּשֵׁךְ (ששי) [שֵׁשׁ] וָמֶשִׁי וְרִקְמָה סֹלֶת וּדְבַשׁ וָשֶׁמֶן (אכלתי) [אָכָלְתְּ] וַתִּיפִי בִּמְאֹד מְאֹד וַֽתִּצְלְחִי לִמְלוּכָֽה׃
14 And your name went forth amongst the nations for your beauty: because it was perfected with elegance, [and] in the comeliness which I put upon you, says the Lord.
וַיֵּצֵא לָךְ שֵׁם בַּגּוֹיִם בְּיׇפְיֵךְ כִּי ׀ כָּלִיל הוּא בַּהֲדָרִי אֲשֶׁר־שַׂמְתִּי עָלַיִךְ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃
15 You did trust in your beauty, and did go a-whoring because of your renown, and did pour out your fornication on every passer by.
וַתִּבְטְחִי בְיׇפְיֵךְ וַתִּזְנִי עַל־שְׁמֵךְ וַתִּשְׁפְּכִי אֶת־תַּזְנוּתַיִךְ עַל־כׇּל־עוֹבֵר לוֹ־יֶֽהִי׃
16 And you did take of your garments, and made to yourself idols of needlework, and did go a-whoring after them; therefore you shall never come in, nor shall [the like] take place.
וַתִּקְחִי מִבְּגָדַיִךְ וַתַּֽעֲשִׂי־לָךְ בָּמוֹת טְלֻאוֹת וַתִּזְנִי עֲלֵיהֶם לֹא בָאוֹת וְלֹא יִהְיֶֽה׃
17 And you took your fair ornaments of my gold and of my silver, of what I gave you, and you made to yourself male images, and you did commit whoredom with them.
וַתִּקְחִי כְּלֵי תִפְאַרְתֵּךְ מִזְּהָבִי וּמִכַּסְפִּי אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לָךְ וַתַּעֲשִׂי־לָךְ צַלְמֵי זָכָר וַתִּזְנִי־בָֽם׃
18 And you did take your variegated apparel and did clothe them, and you did set before them mine oil and mine incense.
וַתִּקְחִי אֶת־בִּגְדֵי רִקְמָתֵךְ וַתְּכַסִּים וְשַׁמְנִי וּקְטׇרְתִּי (נתתי) [נָתַתְּ] לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
19 And [you took] my bread which I gave you, ([yes] I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey) and did set them before them for a sweet smelling savour: yes, it was so, says the Lord.
וְלַחְמִי אֲשֶׁר־נָתַתִּי לָךְ סֹלֶת וָשֶׁמֶן וּדְבַשׁ הֶאֱכַלְתִּיךְ וּנְתַתִּיהוּ לִפְנֵיהֶם לְרֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ וַיֶּהִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃
20 And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore, and did sacrifice [these] to them to be destroyed. You did go a-whoring as [if that were] little,
וַתִּקְחִי אֶת־בָּנַיִךְ וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר יָלַדְתְּ לִי וַתִּזְבָּחִים לָהֶם לֶאֱכוֹל הַמְעַט (מתזנותך) [מִתַּזְנוּתָֽיִךְ]׃
21 and did kill your children, and gave them up in offering them to them for an expiation.
וַֽתִּשְׁחֲטִי אֶת־בָּנָי וַֽתִּתְּנִים בְּהַעֲבִיר אוֹתָם לָהֶֽם׃
22 This is beyond all your fornication, and you did not remember your infancy, when you were naked and bare, [and] did live [though] defiled in your blood.
וְאֵת כׇּל־תּוֹעֲבֹתַיִךְ וְתַזְנֻתַיִךְ לֹא (זכרתי) [זָכַרְתְּ] אֶת־יְמֵי נְעוּרָיִךְ בִּֽהְיוֹתֵךְ עֵירֹם וְעֶרְיָה מִתְבּוֹסֶסֶת בְּדָמֵךְ הָיִֽית׃
23 And it came to pass after all your wickedness, says the Lord,
וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי כׇּל־רָעָתֵךְ אוֹי אוֹי לָךְ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃
24 that you did build yourself a house of fornication, and did make yourself a public place in every street;
וַתִּבְנִי־לָךְ גָּב וַתַּעֲשִׂי־לָךְ רָמָה בְּכׇל־רְחֽוֹב׃
25 and on the head of every way you did set up your fornications, and did defile your beauty, and did open your feet to every passer by, and did multiply your fornication.
אֶל־כׇּל־רֹאשׁ דֶּרֶךְ בָּנִית רָמָתֵךְ וַתְּתַֽעֲבִי אֶת־יׇפְיֵךְ וַתְּפַשְּׂקִי אֶת־רַגְלַיִךְ לְכׇל־עוֹבֵר וַתַּרְבִּי אֶת־[תַּזְנוּתָֽיִךְ] (תזנותך)׃
26 And you did go a-whoring after the children of Egypt your neighbours, great of flesh; and did go a-whoring, often to provoke me to anger.
וַתִּזְנִי אֶל־בְּנֵי־מִצְרַיִם שְׁכֵנַיִךְ גִּדְלֵי בָשָׂר וַתַּרְבִּי אֶת־תַּזְנֻתֵךְ לְהַכְעִיסֵֽנִי׃
27 And if I stretch out my hand against you, then will I abolish your statutes, and deliver [you] up to the wills of them that hate you, [even to] the daughters of the Philistines that turned you aside from the way wherein you sinned.
וְהִנֵּה נָטִיתִי יָדִי עָלַיִךְ וָאֶגְרַע חֻקֵּךְ וָאֶתְּנֵךְ בְּנֶפֶשׁ שֹׂנְאוֹתַיִךְ בְּנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים הַנִּכְלָמוֹת מִדַּרְכֵּךְ זִמָּֽה׃
28 And you did go a-whoring to the daughters of Assur, and not even thus was you satisfied; yes, you did go a-whoring, and was not satisfied.
וַתִּזְנִי אֶל־בְּנֵי אַשּׁוּר מִבִּלְתִּי שׇׂבְעָתֵךְ וַתִּזְנִים וְגַם לֹא שָׂבָֽעַתְּ׃
29 And you did multiply your covenants with the land of the Chaldeans; and not even with these was you satisfied.
וַתַּרְבִּי אֶת־תַּזְנוּתֵךְ אֶל־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן כַּשְׂדִּימָה וְגַם־בְּזֹאת לֹא שָׂבָֽעַתְּ׃
30 Why should I make a covenant with your daughter, says the Lord, while you do all these things, the works of a harlot? and you have gone a-whoring in a threefold degree with your daughters.
מָה אֲמֻלָה לִבָּתֵךְ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה בַּֽעֲשׂוֹתֵךְ אֶת־כׇּל־אֵלֶּה מַעֲשֵׂה אִשָּֽׁה־זוֹנָה שַׁלָּֽטֶת׃
31 You have built a house of harlotry in every top of a way, and have set up your high place in every street; and you did become as a harlot gathering hires.
בִּבְנוֹתַיִךְ גַּבֵּךְ בְּרֹאשׁ כׇּל־דֶּרֶךְ וְרָמָתֵךְ (עשיתי) [עָשִׂית] בְּכׇל־רְחוֹב וְלֹא־[הָיִית] (הייתי) כַּזּוֹנָה לְקַלֵּס אֶתְנָֽן׃
32 An adulteress resembles you, taking rewards of her husband.
הָאִשָּׁה הַמְּנָאָפֶת תַּחַת אִישָׁהּ תִּקַּח אֶת־זָרִֽים׃
33 She has even given rewards to all that went a-whoring after her, and you have given rewards to all your lovers, yes, you did load them with rewards, that they should come to you from every side for your fornication.
לְכׇל־זֹנוֹת יִתְּנוּ־נֵדֶה וְאַתְּ נָתַתְּ אֶת־נְדָנַיִךְ לְכׇל־מְאַֽהֲבַיִךְ וַתִּשְׁחֳדִי אוֹתָם לָבוֹא אֵלַיִךְ מִסָּבִיב בְּתַזְנוּתָֽיִךְ׃
34 And there has happened in you perverseness in your fornication beyond [other] women, and they have committed fornication with you, in that you give hires over and above, and hires were not given to you; and [thus] perverseness happened in you.
וַיְהִי־בָךְ הֵפֶךְ מִן־הַנָּשִׁים בְּתַזְנוּתַיִךְ וְאַחֲרַיִךְ לֹא זוּנָּה וּבְתִתֵּךְ אֶתְנָן וְאֶתְנַן לֹא נִתַּן־לָךְ וַתְּהִי לְהֶֽפֶךְ׃
35 Therefore, harlot, hear the word of the Lord:
לָכֵן זוֹנָה שִׁמְעִי דְּבַר־יְהֹוָֽה׃
36 Thus says the Lord, Because you have poured forth your money, therefore your shame shall be discovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and [with] regard to all the imaginations of your iniquities, and for the blood of your children which you have given to them.
כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה יַעַן הִשָּׁפֵךְ נְחֻשְׁתֵּךְ וַתִּגָּלֶה עֶרְוָתֵךְ בְּתַזְנוּתַיִךְ עַל־מְאַֽהֲבָיִךְ וְעַל כׇּל־גִּלּוּלֵי תוֹעֲבוֹתַיִךְ וְכִדְמֵי בָנַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתְּ לָהֶֽם׃
37 Therefore, behold, I [will] gather all your lovers with whom you have consorted, and all whom you have loved, with all whom you did hate; and I will gather them against you round about, and will expose your wickedness to them, and they shall see all your shame.
לָכֵן הִנְנִי מְקַבֵּץ אֶת־כׇּל־מְאַהֲבַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר עָרַבְתְּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְאֵת כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר אָהַבְתְּ עַל כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר שָׂנֵאת וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֹתָם עָלַיִךְ מִסָּבִיב וְגִלֵּיתִי עֶרְוָתֵךְ אֲלֵהֶם וְרָאוּ אֶת־כׇּל־עֶרְוָתֵֽךְ׃
38 And I will be avenged on you with the vengeance of an adulteress, and I will bring upon you blood of fury and jealousy.
וּשְׁפַטְתִּיךְ מִשְׁפְּטֵי נֹאֲפוֹת וְשֹׁפְכֹת דָּם וּנְתַתִּיךְ דַּם חֵמָה וְקִנְאָֽה׃
39 And I will deliver you into their hands, and they shall break down your house of harlotry, and destroy your high place; and they shall strip you of your garments, and shall take your proud ornaments, and leave you naked and bare.
וְנָתַתִּי אֹתָךְ בְּיָדָם וְהָרְסוּ גַבֵּךְ וְנִתְּצוּ רָמֹתַיִךְ וְהִפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתָךְ בְּגָדַיִךְ וְלָקְחוּ כְּלֵי תִפְאַרְתֵּךְ וְהִנִּיחוּךְ עֵירֹם וְעֶרְיָֽה׃
40 And they shall bring multitudes upon you, and they shall stone you with stones, and pierce you with their swords.
וְהֶעֱלוּ עָלַיִךְ קָהָל וְרָגְמוּ אוֹתָךְ בָּאָבֶן וּבִתְּקוּךְ בְּחַרְבוֹתָֽם׃
41 And they shall burn your houses with fire, and shall execute vengeance on you in the sight of many women: and I will turn you back from harlotry, and I will no more give [you] rewards.
וְשָׂרְפוּ בָתַּיִךְ בָּאֵשׁ וְעָשׂוּ־בָךְ שְׁפָטִים לְעֵינֵי נָשִׁים רַבּוֹת וְהִשְׁבַּתִּיךְ מִזּוֹנָה וְגַם־אֶתְנַן לֹא תִתְּנִי־עֽוֹד׃
42 So will I slacken my fury against you, and my jealousy shall be removed from you, and I will rest, and be no more careful [for you].
וַהֲנִחֹתִי חֲמָתִי בָּךְ וְסָרָה קִנְאָתִי מִמֵּךְ וְשָׁקַטְתִּי וְלֹא אֶכְעַס עֽוֹד׃
43 Because you did not remember your infancy, and you did grieve me in all these things; therefore, behold, I have recompensed your ways upon your head, says the Lord: for thus have you wrought ungodliness above all your [other] iniquities.
יַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־[זָכַרְתְּ] (זכרתי) אֶת־יְמֵי נְעוּרַיִךְ וַתִּרְגְּזִי־לִי בְּכׇל־אֵלֶּה וְגַם־אֲנִי הֵא דַּרְכֵּךְ ׀ בְּרֹאשׁ נָתַתִּי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְלֹא (עשיתי) [עָשִׂית] אֶת־הַזִּמָּה עַל כׇּל־תּוֹעֲבֹתָֽיִךְ׃
44 These are all the things they have spoken against you in a proverb, saying,
הִנֵּה כׇּל־הַמֹּשֵׁל עָלַיִךְ יִמְשֹׁל לֵאמֹר כְּאִמָּהֿ בִּתָּֽהּ׃
45 As is the mother, so is your mother's daughter: you are she that has rejected her husband and her children; and the sisters of your sisters have rejected their husbands and their children: your mother was a Chettite, and [your] father an Amorite.
בַּת־אִמֵּךְ אַתְּ גֹּעֶלֶת אִישָׁהּ וּבָנֶיהָ וַאֲחוֹת אֲחוֹתֵךְ אַתְּ אֲשֶׁר גָּֽעֲלוּ אַנְשֵׁיהֶן וּבְנֵיהֶן אִמְּכֶן חִתִּית וַאֲבִיכֶן אֱמֹרִֽי׃
46 Your elder sister who dwells on your left hand is Samaria, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, that dwells on the right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
וַאֲחוֹתֵךְ הַגְּדוֹלָה שֹׁמְרוֹן הִיא וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ הַיּוֹשֶׁבֶת עַל־שְׂמֹאולֵךְ וַאֲחוֹתֵךְ הַקְּטַנָּה מִמֵּךְ הַיּוֹשֶׁבֶת מִֽימִינֵךְ סְדֹם וּבְנוֹתֶֽיהָ׃
47 Yet notwithstanding you have not walked in their ways, neither have you done according to their iniquities within a little, but you have exceeded them in all your ways.
וְלֹא בְדַרְכֵיהֶן הָלַכְתְּ וּכְתוֹעֲבוֹתֵיהֶן (עשיתי) [עָשִׂית] כִּמְעַט קָט וַתַּשְׁחִתִי מֵהֵן בְּכׇל־דְּרָכָֽיִךְ׃
48 [As] I live, says the Lord, this Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.
חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה אִם־עָֽשְׂתָה סְדֹם אֲחוֹתֵךְ הִיא וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית אַתְּ וּבְנוֹתָֽיִךְ׃
49 Moreover this was the sin of your sister Sodom, pride: she and her daughters lived in pleasure, in fullness of bread [and] in abundance: this belonged to her and her daughters, and they helped not the hand of the poor and needy.
הִנֵּה־זֶה הָיָה עֲוֺן סְדֹם אֲחוֹתֵךְ גָּאוֹן שִׂבְעַת־לֶחֶם וְשַׁלְוַת הַשְׁקֵט הָיָה לָהּ וְלִבְנוֹתֶיהָ וְיַד־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן לֹא הֶחֱזִֽיקָה׃
50 And they boasted, and wrought iniquities before me: so I cut them off as I saw [fit].
וַֽתִּגְבְּהֶינָה וַתַּֽעֲשֶׂינָה תוֹעֵבָה לְפָנָי וָאָסִיר אֶתְהֶן כַּאֲשֶׁר רָאִֽיתִי׃
51 Also Samaria has not sinned according to half of your sins; but you have multiplied your iniquities beyond them, and you have justified your sisters in all your iniquities which you have committed.
וְשֹׁמְרוֹן כַּחֲצִי חַטֹּאתַיִךְ לֹא חָטָאָה וַתַּרְבִּי אֶת־תּוֹעֲבוֹתַיִךְ מֵהֵנָּה וַתְּצַדְּקִי אֶת־[אֲחוֹתַיִךְ] (אחותך) בְּכׇל־תּוֹעֲבֹתַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר (עשיתי) [עָשִֽׂית]׃
52 You therefore bear your punishment, for that you have corrupted your sisters by your sins which you have committed beyond them; and you have made them [appear] more righteous than yourself: you therefore be ashamed, and bear your dishonour, in that you have justified your sisters.
גַּם־אַתְּ ׀ שְׂאִי כְלִמָּתֵךְ אֲשֶׁר פִּלַּלְתְּ לַאֲחוֹתֵךְ בְּחַטֹּאתַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר־הִתְעַבְתְּ מֵהֵן תִּצְדַּקְנָה מִמֵּךְ וְגַם־אַתְּ בּוֹשִׁי וּשְׂאִי כְלִמָּתֵךְ בְּצַדֶּקְתֵּךְ אַחְיוֹתֵֽךְ׃
53 And I will turn their captivity, [even] the captivity of Sodom and her daughters; and I will turn the captivity of Samaria and her daughters; and I will turn your captivity in the midst of them:
וְשַׁבְתִּי אֶת־שְׁבִיתְהֶן אֶת־[שְׁבוּת] (שבית) סְדֹם וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ וְאֶת־[שְׁבוּת] (שבית) שֹׁמְרוֹן וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ (ושבית) [וּשְׁבוּת] שְׁבִיתַיִךְ בְּתוֹכָֽהְנָה׃
54 that you may bear your punishment, and be dishonoured for all that you have done in provoking me to anger.
לְמַעַן תִּשְׂאִי כְלִמָּתֵךְ וְנִכְלַמְתְּ מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית בְּנַחֲמֵךְ אֹתָֽן׃
55 And your sister Sodom and her daughters shall be restored as they were at the beginning, and you and your daughters shall be restored as you were at the beginning.
וַאֲחוֹתַיִךְ סְדֹם וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ תָּשֹׁבְןָ לְקַדְמָתָן וְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ תָּשֹׁבְןָ לְקַדְמָתָן וְאַתְּ וּבְנוֹתַיִךְ תְּשֻׁבֶינָה לְקַדְמַתְכֶֽן׃
56 And surely your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the days of your pride:
וְלוֹא הָֽיְתָה סְדֹם אֲחוֹתֵךְ לִשְׁמוּעָה בְּפִיךְ בְּיוֹם גְּאוֹנָֽיִךְ׃
57 before your wickedness was discovered, even now you are the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, [even] of the daughters of the Philistines that compass you round about.
בְּטֶרֶם תִּגָּלֶה רָעָתֵךְ כְּמוֹ עֵת חֶרְפַּת בְּנוֹת־אֲרָם וְכׇל־סְבִיבוֹתֶיהָ בְּנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים הַשָּׁאטוֹת אוֹתָךְ מִסָּבִֽיב׃
58 [As for] your ungodliness and your iniquities, you have borne them, says the Lord.
אֶת־זִמָּתֵךְ וְאֶת־תּוֹעֲבוֹתַיִךְ אַתְּ נְשָׂאתִים נְאֻם יְהֹוָֽה׃
59 Thus says the Lord; I will even do to you as you have done, as you have dealt shamefully in these things to transgress my covenant.
כִּי כֹה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה (ועשית) [וְעָשִׂיתִי] אוֹתָךְ כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית אֲשֶׁר־בָּזִית אָלָה לְהָפֵר בְּרִֽית׃
60 And I will remember my covenant [made] with you in the days of your infancy, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.
וְזָכַרְתִּי אֲנִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אוֹתָךְ בִּימֵי נְעוּרָיִךְ וַהֲקִימוֹתִי לָךְ בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃
61 Then you shall remember your way, and shall be utterly dishonoured when you receive your elder sisters with your younger ones: and I will give them to you for building up, but not by your covenant.
וְזָכַרְתְּ אֶת־דְּרָכַיִךְ וְנִכְלַמְתְּ בְּקַחְתֵּךְ אֶת־אֲחוֹתַיִךְ הַגְּדֹלוֹת מִמֵּךְ אֶל־הַקְּטַנּוֹת מִמֵּךְ וְנָתַתִּי אֶתְהֶן לָךְ לְבָנוֹת וְלֹא מִבְּרִיתֵֽךְ׃
62 And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the Lord:
וַהֲקִימֹתִי אֲנִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתָּךְ וְיָדַעַתְּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃
63 that you may remember, and be ashamed, and may no more be able to open your mouth for your shame, when I am reconciled to you for all that you have done, says the Lord.
לְמַעַן תִּזְכְּרִי וָבֹשְׁתְּ וְלֹא יִֽהְיֶה־לָּךְ עוֹד פִּתְחוֹן פֶּה מִפְּנֵי כְּלִמָּתֵךְ בְּכַפְּרִי־לָךְ לְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃
