The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, there were twoH8147 womenH802, the daughtersH1323 of oneH259 motherH517:
And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.
And the namesH8034 of them were AholahH170 the elderH1419, and AholibahH172 her sisterH269: and they were mine, and they bareH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. Thus were their namesH8034; SamariaH8111 is AholahH170, and JerusalemH3389 AholibahH172. {Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle} {Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}
And AholahH170 played the harlotH2181 when she was mineH8478; and she dotedH5689 on her loversH157, on the AssyriansH804 her neighboursH7138,
Which were clothedH3847 with blueH8504, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
Thus she committedH5414 her whoredomsH8457 with them, with all them that were the chosenH4005 menH1121 of AssyriaH804, and with all on whom she dotedH5689: with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930 herself. {committed…: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them} {the chosen…: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur}
Neither leftH5800 she her whoredomsH8457 brought from EgyptH4714: for in her youthH5271 they layH7901 with her, and they bruisedH6213 the breastsH1717 of her virginityH1331, and pouredH8210 their whoredomH8457 upon her.
Wherefore I have deliveredH5414 her into the handH3027 of her loversH157, into the handH3027 of the AssyriansH1121+H804, upon whom she dotedH5689.
These discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, and slewH2026 her with the swordH2719: and she became famousH8034 among womenH802; for they had executedH6213 judgmentH8196 upon her. {famous: Heb. a name}
And when her sisterH269 AholibahH172 sawH7200 this, she was more corruptH7843 in her inordinate loveH5691 than she, and in her whoredomsH8457 more than her sisterH269 in her whoredomsH2183. {she was…: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc} {more than…: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister}
She dotedH5689 upon the AssyriansH1121+H804 her neighboursH7138, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461 clothedH3847 most gorgeouslyH4358, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970.
Then I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930, that they took bothH8147 oneH259 wayH1870,
And that she increasedH3254 her whoredomsH8457: for when she sawH7200 menH582 pourtrayedH2707 upon the wallH7023, the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 pourtrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350,
GirdedH2289 with girdlesH232 upon their loinsH4975, exceedingH5628 in dyed attireH2871 upon their headsH7218, all of them princesH7991 to look toH4758, after the mannerH1823 of the BabyloniansH1121+H894 of ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativityH4138:
And as soon as she sawH4758 them with her eyesH5869, she dotedH5689 upon them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778. {as soon…: Heb. at the sight of her eyes}
And the BabyloniansH1121+H894 cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of loveH1730, and they defiledH2930 her with their whoredomH8457, and she was pollutedH2930 with them, and her mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from them. {Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel} {alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed}
So she discoveredH1540 her whoredomsH8457, and discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: then my mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from her, like as my mindH5315 was alienatedH5361 from her sisterH269.
Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredomsH8457, in calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she had played the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
For she dotedH5689 upon their paramoursH6370, whose fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of assesH2543, and whose issueH2231 is like the issueH2231 of horsesH5483.
Thus thou calledst to remembranceH6485 the lewdnessH2154 of thy youthH5271, in bruisingH6213 thy teatsH1717 by the EgyptiansH4714 for the papsH7699 of thy youthH5271.
Therefore, O AholibahH172, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will raise upH5782 thy loversH157 against thee, from whom thy mindH5315 is alienatedH5361, and I will bringH935 them against thee on every sideH5439;
The BabyloniansH1121+H894, and all the ChaldeansH3778, PekodH6489, and ShoaH7772, and KoaH6970, and all the AssyriansH1121+H804 with them: all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, great lordsH7991 and renownedH7121, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
And they shall comeH935 against thee with chariotsH2021, wagonsH7393, and wheelsH1534, and with an assemblyH6951 of peopleH5971, which shall setH7760 against thee bucklerH6793 and shieldH4043 and helmetH6959 round aboutH5439: and I will setH5414 judgmentH4941 beforeH6440 them, and they shall judgeH8199 thee according to their judgmentsH4941.
And I will setH5414 my jealousyH7068 against thee, and they shall dealH6213 furiouslyH2534 with thee: they shall take awayH5493 thy noseH639 and thine earsH241; and thy remnantH319 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: they shall takeH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323; and thy residueH319 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784.
They shall also stripH6584 thee out of thy clothesH899, and take awayH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627. {fair…: Heb. instruments of thy decking}
Thus will I make thy lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 from thee, and thy whoredomH2184 brought from the landH776 of EgyptH4714: so that thou shalt not lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto them, nor rememberH2142 EgyptH4714 any more.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of them whom thou hatestH8130, into the handH3027 of them from whom thy mindH5315 is alienatedH5361:
And they shall dealH6213 with thee hatefullyH8135, and shall take awayH3947 all thy labourH3018, and shall leaveH5800 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181: and the nakednessH6172 of thy whoredomsH2183 shall be discoveredH1540, both thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredomsH8457.
I will doH6213 these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoringH2181 afterH310 the heathenH1471, and because thou art pollutedH2930 with their idolsH1544.
Thou hast walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of thy sisterH269; therefore will I giveH5414 her cupH3563 into thine handH3027.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Thou shalt drinkH8354 of thy sister'sH269 cupH3563 deepH6013 and largeH7342: thou shalt be laughed to scornH6712 and had in derisionH3933; it containethH3557 muchH4767.
Thou shalt be filledH4390 with drunkennessH7943 and sorrowH3015, with the cupH3563 of astonishmentH8047 and desolationH8077, with the cupH3563 of thy sisterH269 SamariaH8111.
Thou shalt even drinkH8354 it and suck it outH4680, and thou shalt breakH1633 the sherdsH2789 thereof, and pluck offH5423 thine own breastsH7699: for I have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast forgottenH7911 me, and castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458, therefore bearH5375 thou also thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredomsH8457.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 moreover unto me; SonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 AholahH170 and AholibahH172? yea, declareH5046 unto them their abominationsH8441; {judge: or, plead for}
That they have committed adulteryH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027, and with their idolsH1544 have they committed adulteryH5003, and have also caused their sonsH1121, whom they bareH3205 unto me, to pass for them throughH5674 the fire, to devourH402 them.
Moreover this they have doneH6213 unto me: they have defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 in the same dayH3117, and have profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
For when they had slainH7819 their childrenH1121 to their idolsH1544, then they cameH935 the same dayH3117 into my sanctuaryH4720 to profaneH2490 it; and, lo, thus have they doneH6213 in the midstH8432 of mine houseH1004.
And furthermoreH637, that ye have sentH7971 for menH582 to comeH935 from farH4801, unto whom a messengerH4397 was sentH7971; and, lo, they cameH935: for whom thou didst washH7364 thyself, paintedstH3583 thy eyesH5869, and deckedstH5710 thyself with ornamentsH5716, {to come: Heb. coming}
And satestH3427 upon a statelyH3520 bedH4296, and a tableH7979 preparedH6186 beforeH6440 it, whereupon thou hast setH7760 mine incenseH7004 and mine oilH8081. {stately: Heb. honourable}
And a voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995 being at easeH7961 was with her: and with the menH582 of the common sortH7230+H120 were broughtH935 SabeansH5436+H5433 from the wildernessH4057, which putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon their handsH3027, and beautifulH8597 crownsH5850 upon their headsH7218. {of the…: Heb. of the multitude of men} {Sabeans: or, drunkards}
Then saidH559 I unto her that was oldH1087 in adulteriesH5004, Will they now commitH2181 whoredomsH8457 with her, and she with them? {whoredoms…: Heb. her whoredoms}
Yet they went inH935 unto her, as they go inH935 unto a womanH802 that playeth the harlotH2181: so went they inH935 unto AholahH170 and unto AholibahH172, the lewdH2154 womenH802.
And the righteousH6662 menH582, they shall judgeH8199 them after the mannerH4941 of adulteressesH5003, and after the mannerH4941 of women that shedH8210 bloodH1818; because they are adulteressesH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will bring upH5927 a companyH6951 upon them, and will giveH5414 them to be removedH2189 and spoiledH957. {to be…: Heb. for a removing and spoil}
And the companyH6951 shall stoneH7275 them with stonesH68, and dispatchH1254 them with their swordsH2719; they shall slayH2026 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, and burn upH8313 their housesH1004 with fireH784. {dispatch…: or, single them out}
Thus will I cause lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776, that all womenH802 may be taughtH3256 not to doH6213 after your lewdnessH2154.
And they shall recompenseH5414 your lewdnessH2154 upon you, and ye shall bearH5375 the sinsH2399 of your idolsH1544: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.

Thus shall mine angerH639 be accomplishedH3615, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon them, and I will be comfortedH5162: and they shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it in my zealH7068, when I have accomplishedH3615 my furyH2534 in them.
And the companyH6951 shall stoneH7275 them with stonesH68, and dispatchH1254 them with their swordsH2719; they shall slayH2026 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, and burn upH8313 their housesH1004 with fireH784. {dispatch…: or, single them out}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As the vineH1612 treeH6086 among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293, which I have givenH5414 to the fireH784 for fuelH402, so will I giveH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in mine houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 beforeH6440 me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GODH3069 fellH5307 there upon me.
Then I beheldH7200, and lo a likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784: from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downwardH4295, fireH784; and from his loinsH4975 even upwardH4605, as the appearanceH4758 of brightnessH2096, as the colourH5869 of amberH2830.
And he put forthH7971 the formH8403 of an handH3027, and tookH3947 me by a lockH6734 of mine headH7218; and the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, and broughtH935 me in the visionsH4759 of GodH430 to JerusalemH3389, to the doorH6607 of the innerH6442 gateH8179 that lookethH6437 toward the northH6828; where was the seatH4186 of the imageH5566 of jealousyH7068, which provoketh to jealousyH7069.
And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was there, according to the visionH4758 that I sawH7200 in the plainH1237.
Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 now the wayH1870 toward the northH6828. So I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869 the wayH1870 toward the northH6828, and behold northwardH6828 at the gateH8179 of the altarH4196 this imageH5566 of jealousyH7068 in the entryH872.
He saidH559 furthermore unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, seestH7200 thou what they doH6213? even the greatH1419 abominationsH8441 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 committethH6213 here, that I should go far offH7368 from my sanctuaryH4720? but turnH7725 thee yet again, and thou shalt seeH7200 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441.
And he broughtH935 me to the doorH6607 of the courtH2691; and when I lookedH7200, behold aH259 holeH2356 in the wallH7023.
Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, digH2864 now in the wallH7023: and when I had diggedH2864 in the wallH7023, behold aH259 doorH6607.
And he saidH559 unto me, Go inH935, and beholdH7200 the wickedH7451 abominationsH8441 that they doH6213 here.
So I went inH935 and sawH7200; and behold every formH8403 of creeping thingsH7431, and abominableH8263 beastsH929, and all the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, pourtrayedH2707 upon the wallH7023 round aboutH5439.
And there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 them seventyH7657 menH376 of the ancientsH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and in the midstH8432 of them stoodH5975 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, with every manH376 his censerH4730 in his handH3027; and a thickH6282 cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 went upH5927.
Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, hast thou seenH7200 what the ancientsH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 doH6213 in the darkH2822, every manH376 in the chambersH2315 of his imageryH4906? for they sayH559, The LORDH3068 seethH7200 us not; the LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 the earthH776.
He saidH559 also unto me, TurnH7725 thee yet again, and thou shalt seeH7200 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 that they doH6213.
Then he broughtH935 me to the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 which was toward the northH6828; and, behold, there satH3427 womenH802 weepingH1058 for TammuzH8542.
Then saidH559 he unto me, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? turnH7725 thee yet again, and thou shalt seeH7200 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 than these.
And he broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and, behold, at the doorH6607 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, were about fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 menH376, with their backsH268 toward the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, and their facesH6440 toward the eastH6924; and they worshippedH7812 the sunH8121 toward the eastH6924.
Then he saidH559 unto me, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? Is it a light thingH7043 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 that they commitH6213 the abominationsH8441 which they commitH6213 here? for they have filledH4390 the landH776 with violenceH2555, and have returnedH7725 to provoke me to angerH3707: and, lo, they putH7971 the branchH2156 to their noseH639. {Is it…: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit}
Therefore will I also dealH6213 in furyH2534: mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347, neither will I have pityH2550: and though they cryH7121 in mine earsH241 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, yet will I not hearH8085 them.
And I will not have mercyH7355 upon her childrenH1121; for they be the childrenH1121 of whoredomsH2183.
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against them; they shall go outH3318 from one fireH784, and another fireH784 shall devourH398 them; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I setH7760 my faceH6440 against them.
And I will judgeH8199 thee, as women that break wedlockH5003 and shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judgedH4941; and I will giveH5414 thee bloodH1818 in furyH2534 and jealousyH7068. {as: Heb. with judgments of}
And I will also giveH5414 thee into their handH3027, and they shall throw downH2040 thine eminent placeH1354, and shall break downH5422 thy high placesH7413: they shall stripH6584 thee also of thy clothesH899, and shall takeH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627, and leaveH3240 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {thy fair…: Heb. instruments of thine ornament}
They shall also bring upH5927 a companyH6951 against thee, and they shall stoneH7275 thee with stonesH68, and thrust thee throughH1333 with their swordsH2719.
And they shall burnH8313 thine housesH1004 with fireH784, and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon thee in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 womenH802: and I will cause thee to ceaseH7673 from playing the harlotH2181, and thou also shalt giveH5414 no hireH868 any more.
So will I make my furyH2534 toward thee to restH5117, and my jealousyH7068 shall departH5493 from thee, and I will be quietH8252, and will be no more angryH3707.
For their motherH517 hath played the harlotH2181: she that conceivedH2029 them hath done shamefullyH3001: for she saidH559, I will goH3212 afterH310 my loversH157, that giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, mine oilH8081 and my drinkH8250. {drink: Heb. drinks}
And sayH559 to the forestH3293 of the southH5045, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in thee, and it shall devourH398 every greenH3892 treeH6086 in thee, and every dryH3002 treeH6086: the flamingH3852 flameH7957 shall not be quenchedH3518, and all facesH6440 from the southH5045 to the northH6828 shall be burnedH6866 therein.
For thou shalt worshipH7812 no otherH312 godH410: for the LORDH3068, whose nameH8034 is JealousH7067, is a jealousH7067 GodH410:
And all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 that I the LORDH3068 have kindledH1197 it: it shall not be quenchedH3518.
The LORDH3068 willH14 not spareH5545 him, but then the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 and his jealousyH7068 shall smokeH6225 against that manH376, and all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 shall lieH7257 upon him, and the LORDH3068 shall blot outH4229 his nameH8034 from under heavenH8064.
SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is to me become drossH5509: all they are brassH5178, and tinH913, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are even the drossH5509 of silverH3701. {dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye are all become drossH5509, behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 you into the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389.
As they gatherH6910 silverH3701, and brassH5178, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, and tinH913, into the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 upon it, to meltH5413 it; so will I gatherH6908 you in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will leaveH3240 you there, and meltH5413 you. {As…: Heb. According to the gathering}
Yea, I will gatherH3664 you, and blowH5301 upon you in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shall be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof.
As silverH3701 is meltedH2046 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, so shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have poured outH8210 my furyH2534 upon you.
They have moved me to jealousyH7065 with that which is notH3808 GodH410; they have provoked me to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892: and I will move them to jealousyH7065 with those which are not a peopleH5971; I will provoke them to angerH3707 with a foolishH5036 nationH1471.
ThereforeG5124+G1223 shallG2240 herG846 plaguesG4127 comeG2240 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250, deathG2288, andG2532 mourningG3997, andG2532 famineG3042; andG2532 she shall be utterly burnedG2618 withG1722 fireG4442: forG3754 strongG2478 is the LordG2962 GodG2316 whoG3588 judgethG2919 herG846.
For a fireH784 is kindledH6919 in mine angerH639, and shall burnH3344 unto the lowestH8482 hellH7585, and shall consumeH398 the earthH776 with her increaseH2981, and set on fireH3857 the foundationsH4144 of the mountainsH2022. {shall burn: or, hath burned} {shall consume: or, hath consumed}
For jealousyH7068 is the rageH2534 of a manH1397: therefore he will not spareH2550 in the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359.
SetH7760 me as a sealH2368 upon thine heartH3820, as a sealH2368 upon thine armH2220: for loveH160 is strongH5794 as deathH4194; jealousyH7068 is cruelH7186 as the graveH7585: the coalsH7565 thereof are coalsH7565 of fireH784, which hath a most vehement flameH7957. {cruel: Heb. hard}
Neither their silverH3701 nor their goldH2091 shall be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 them in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 wrathH5678; but the whole landH776 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784 of his jealousyH7068: for he shall makeH6213 even a speedyH926 riddanceH3617 of all them that dwellH3427 in the landH776.
