< Ezekiel 16 >
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 O son of humankind make known to Jerusalem abominations its.
“Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
3 And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem origins your and birth your [were] from [the] land of the Canaanite[s] father your [was] Amorite and mother your [was] a Hittite.
and say, ‘The Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: “Your origin and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite. An Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 And birth your on [the] day were born you not it was cut off umbilical cord your and with water not you were washed for cleansing and certainly not you were rubbed with salt and certainly not you were wrapped.
As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut. You weren’t washed in water to cleanse you. You weren’t salted at all, nor wrapped in blankets at all.
5 Not it looked with compassion on you an eye to do for you one of these [things] for compassion on you and you were thrown out to [the] surface of the field in [the] loathing of life your on [the] day were born you.
No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, because you were abhorred in the day that you were born.
6 And I passed by at you and I saw you kicking about in blood your and I said to you in blood your live and I said to you in blood your live.
“‘“When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ Yes, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’
7 Ten thousand like [the] growth of the field I made you and you grew and you grew up and you came into adornment ornaments breasts they were firm and hair your it had grown and you [were] nakedness and bareness.
I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent beauty. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you were naked and bare.
8 And I passed by at you and I saw you and there! time your [was] a time of love and I spread out [the] skirt of garment my over you and I covered nakedness your and I swore an oath to you and I came in a covenant with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and you belonged to me.
“‘“Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says the Lord GOD, “and you became mine.
9 And I washed you with water and I washed off blood your from on you and I anointed you with oil.
“‘“Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 And I clothed you multicolored cloth and I shod you leather and I wrapped head your with fine linen and I covered you silk.
I clothed you also with embroidered work and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 And I ornamented you ornament[s] and I put! bracelets on hands your and a chain on neck your.
I decked you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands, and put a chain on your neck.
12 And I put a ring on nose your and earrings on ears your and a crown of beauty on head your.
I put a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 And you ornamented yourself gold and silver and clothing your ([was] fine linen *Q(K)*) and silk and multicolored cloth fine flour and honey and oil (you ate *Q(k)*) and you were beautiful with muchness muchness and you prospered into kingship.
Thus you were decked with gold and silver. Your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered work. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
14 And it went out of you name among the nations on beauty your for - [was] perfect it on splendor my which I had put on you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Your renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,” says the Lord GOD.
15 And you trusted in beauty your and you acted as a prostitute on name your and you poured out prostitution your on every [one who] passed by to him let it belong.
“‘“But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by. It was his.
16 And you took some of clothes your and you made for yourself high places multicolored and you acted as a prostitute on them not coming and not it will be.
You took some of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them. This shouldn’t happen, neither shall it be.
17 And you took [the] articles of beauty your some of gold my and some of silver my which I had given to you and you made for yourself images of a male and you acted as a prostitute with them.
You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them.
18 And you took [the] clothes of multicolored cloth your and you covered them and oil my and incense my (you put *Q(k)*) before them.
You took your embroidered garments, covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
19 And food my which I had given to you fine flour and oil and honey [which] I had given to eat you and you put it before them to an odor of soothing and it was [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was,” says the Lord GOD.
20 And you took sons your and daughters your whom you had borne to me and you sacrificed them to them to devour ¿ little (from prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
“‘“Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,
21 And you slaughtered children my and you gave them when made pass through them to them.
that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
22 And with all abominations your and prostitution your not (you remembered *Q(k)*) [the] days of youth your when were you nakedness and bareness kicking about in blood your you were.
In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
23 And it was after all wickedness your woe! woe! to you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
“‘“It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!” says the Lord GOD—
24 And you built for yourself a mound and you made for yourself a high place in every open place.
“that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
25 To every head of a road you built high place your and you made abominable beauty your and you opened wide feet your for every [one who] passed by and you increased (prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.
26 And you acted as a prostitute to [the] people of Egypt neighbors your becoming great of flesh and you increased prostitution your to provoke to anger me.
You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.
27 And there! I stretched out hand my on you and I diminished allotment your and I gave you in [the] will of [those who] hate you [the] daughters of [the] Philistines who were ashamed from conduct your licentiousness.
See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
28 And you acted as a prostitute to [the] people of Assyria from not satiety your and you acted as a prostitute with them and also not you were satisfied.
You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.
29 And you increased prostitution your to a land of merchant[s] Chaldea towards and also by this not you were satisfied.
You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.
30 How! hot [is] anger your [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when do you all these [things] [the] deed[s] of a woman a prostitute imperious.
“‘“How weak is your heart,” says the Lord GOD, “since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
31 When built you mound your at [the] head of every road and high place your (you made *Q(k)*) in every open place and not (you were *Q(k)*) like prostitute to scorn [the] hire of a prostitute.
in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
32 O wife adulterous [who] in place of husband her she takes strangers.
“‘“Adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband!
33 To all prostitutes men give a gift and you you have given gift your to all lovers your and you have bribed them to come to you from round about by prostitution your.
People give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
34 And it was in you contrariness from the women in prostitution your and after you not it was approached for prostitution and because gave you [the] hire of a prostitute and [the] hire of a prostitute not it was given to you and you became contrariness.
You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.”’
35 Therefore O prostitute hear [the] word of Yahweh.
“Therefore, prostitute, hear the LORD’s word:
36 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because was poured out lust your and it was uncovered nakedness your in prostitution your with lovers your and on all [the] idols of abominations your and according to [the] blood of children your which you gave to them.
‘The Lord GOD says, “Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
37 Therefore here I [am] about to gather all lovers your whom you were pleasing to them and all [those] whom you loved to all [those] whom you hated and I will gather them on you from round about and I will uncover nakedness your to them and they will see all nakedness your.
therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved, with all those whom you have hated. I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 And I will judge you judgments of adulteresses and [women who] shed blood and I will put on you blood of rage and jealousy.
I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 And I will give you in hand their and they will tear down mound your and they will be broken down high places your and they will strip off you clothes your and they will take [the] articles of beauty your and they will leave you nakedness and bareness.
I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare.
40 And they will bring up on you a company and they will stone you with stone[s] and they will cut to pieces you with swords their.
They will also bring up a company against you, and they will stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41 And they will burn houses your with fire and they will bring about on you judgments to [the] eyes of women many and I will cause to cease you from a prostitute and also [the] hire of a prostitute not you will give again.
They will burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you will also give no hire any more.
42 And I will give rest to rage my on you and it will turn aside jealousy my from you and I will be at peace and not I will be angry again.
So I will cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy will depart from you. I will be quiet, and will not be angry any more.
43 Because that not (you remembered *Q(k)*) [the] days of youth your and you were enraged to me in all these [things] and also I there! conduct your - on [the] head I will requite [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and not (did you do? *Q(k)*) the licentiousness to all abominations your.
“‘“Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head,” says the Lord GOD: “and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
44 There! every [one who] speaks a proverb on you he will speak a proverb saying [is] like mother her daughter her.
“‘“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’
45 [are] [the] daughter of Mother your you [who] loathed husband her and children her and [are] [the] sister of sister your you who they loathed husbands their and children their mother your [was] a Hittite and father your [was] an Amorite.
You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 And sister your old [was] Samaria she and daughters her who dwelt on north your and sister your young more than you who dwelt from south your [was] Sodom and daughters her.
Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.
47 And not in ways their did you walk? and in abominations their (did you do? *Q(k)*) like a little only and you behaved corruptly more than them in all ways your.
Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if she did Sodom sister your she and daughters her just as you have done you and daughters your.
As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 Here! this it was [the] iniquity of Sodom sister your pride surfeit of food and ease of quietness it belonged to her and to daughters her and [the] hand of [the] poor and [the] needy not she strengthened.
“‘“Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 And they were haughty and they did abomination before me and I removed them just when I saw.
They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.
51 And Samaria according to [the] half of sins your not it sinned and you have increased abominations your more than them and you have made appear righteous (sisters your *Q(K)*) by all abominations your which (you have done. *Q(k)*)
Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
52 Also you - bear disgrace your that you have mediated for sister your by sins your which you have acted abominably more than them they are righteous more than you and also you be ashamed and bear disgrace your because have made appear righteous you sisters your.
You also bear your own shame yourself, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 And I will turn back captivity their ([the] captivity of *Q(k)*) Sodom and daughters her and ([the] captivity of *Q(k)*) Samaria and daughters her (and [the] captivity of *Q(k)*) captivities your in midst of them.
“‘“I will reverse their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives among them;
54 So that you may bear disgrace your and you will be ashamed from all that you have done when comfort you them.
that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
55 And sisters your Sodom and daughters her they will return to former state their and Samaria and daughters her they will return to former state their and you and daughters your you will return to former state your.
Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate.
56 And not did she become? Sodom sister your a mention in mouth your in [the] day of pride your.
For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 Before it was uncovered wickedness your like [the] time of [the] reproach of [the] daughters of Aram and all around it [the] daughters of [the] Philistines who despise you from round about.
before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around.
58 Licentiousness your and abominations your you you will bear them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,” says the LORD.
59 That thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh (and I will deal with *Q(K)*) with you just as you have done [you] who you despised an oath by breaking a covenant.
“‘For the Lord GOD says: “I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 And I will remember I covenant my with you in [the] days of youth your and I will establish for you a covenant of perpetuity.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 And you will remember ways your and you will be ashamed when receive you sisters your old more than you to young more than you and I will give them to you to daughters and not from covenant your.
Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 And I will establish I covenant my with you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
I will establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am the LORD;
63 So that you may remember and you will be ashamed and not it will belong to you again an opening of a mouth because of disgrace your when make atonement I for you for all that you have done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord GOD.’”
