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.

And AholahH170 played the harlotH2181 when she was mineH8478; and she dotedH5689 on her loversH157, on the AssyriansH804 her neighboursH7138,
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 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}
But as a wifeH802 that committeth adulteryH5003, which takethH3947 strangersH2114 instead of her husbandH376!
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.
Moreover thou hast takenH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323, whom thou hast borneH3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificedH2076 unto them to be devouredH398. Is this of thy whoredomsH8457 a small matterH4592, {to be…: Heb. to devour}
The beginningH8462 of the wordH1696 of the LORDH3068 by HoseaH1954. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to HoseaH1954, GoH3212, takeH3947 unto thee a wifeH802 of whoredomsH2183 and childrenH3206 of whoredomsH2183: for the landH776 hath committed greatH2181 whoredomH2181, departing fromH310 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thy filthinessH5178 was poured outH8210, and thy nakednessH6172 discoveredH1540 through thy whoredomsH8457 with thy loversH157, and with all the idolsH1544 of thy abominationsH8441, and by the bloodH1818 of thy childrenH1121, which thou didst giveH5414 unto them;
That thou hast slainH7819 my childrenH1121, and deliveredH5414 them to cause them to pass throughH5674 the fire for them?
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, GoH3212 yet, loveH157 a womanH802 belovedH157 of her friendH7453, yet an adulteressH5003, according to the loveH160 of the LORDH3068 toward the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, who lookH6437 to otherH312 godsH430, and loveH157 flagonsH809 of wineH6025. {of wine: Heb. of grapes}
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}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thy filthinessH5178 was poured outH8210, and thy nakednessH6172 discoveredH1540 through thy whoredomsH8457 with thy loversH157, and with all the idolsH1544 of thy abominationsH8441, and by the bloodH1818 of thy childrenH1121, which thou didst giveH5414 unto them;
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? yea, thou shalt shewH3045 her all her abominationsH8441. {judge: or, plead for} {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}
Then sayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, The cityH5892 sheddethH8210 bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of it, that her timeH6256 may comeH935, and makethH6213 idolsH1544 against herself to defileH2930 herself.
Thou art become guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210; and hast defiledH2930 thyself in thine idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to draw nearH7126, and art comeH935 even unto thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH5414 thee a reproachH2781 unto the heathenH1471, and a mockingH7048 to all countriesH776.
Thou art thy mother'sH517 daughterH1323, that lothethH1602 her husbandH376 and her childrenH1121; and thou art the sisterH269 of thy sistersH269, which lothedH1602 their husbandsH582 and their childrenH1121: your motherH517 was an HittiteH2850, and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892, to the potH5518 whose scumH2457 is therein, and whose scumH2457 is not gone outH3318 of it! bring it outH3318 pieceH5409 by pieceH5409; let no lotH1486 fallH5307 upon it.
For her bloodH1818 is in the midstH8432 of her; she setH7760 it upon the topH6706 of a rockH5553; she pouredH8210 it not upon the groundH776, to coverH3680 it with dustH6083;
That it might cause furyH2534 to come upH5927 to takeH5358 vengeanceH5359; I have setH5414 her bloodH1818 upon the topH6706 of a rockH5553, that it should not be coveredH3680.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892! I will even make the pileH4071 for fire greatH1431.
And I pollutedH2930 them in their own giftsH4979, in that they caused to pass throughH5674 the fire all that openethH6363 the wombH7356, that I might make them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
For when ye offerH5375 your giftsH4979, when ye make your sonsH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, ye polluteH2930 yourselves with all your idolsH1544, even unto this dayH3117: and shall I be enquiredH1875 of by you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
And thou shalt notH5414 let any of thy seedH2233 passH5674 through the fire to MolechH4432, neither shalt thou profaneH2490 the nameH8034 of thy GodH430: I am the LORDH3068. {Molech: Gr. Moloch}
And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, even the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whom they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667: and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.
Again, thou shalt sayH559 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, WhosoeverH376 he be of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangersH1616 that sojournH1481 in IsraelH3478, that givethH5414 any of his seedH2233 unto MolechH4432; he shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191: the peopleH5971 of the landH776 shall stoneH7275 him with stonesH68.
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against that manH376, and will cut him offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971; because he hath givenH5414 of his seedH2233 unto MolechH4432, to defileH2930 my sanctuaryH4720, and to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034.
And if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 do any waysH5956 hideH5956 their eyesH5869 from the manH376, when he givethH5414 of his seedH2233 unto MolechH4432, and killH4191 him notH1115:
Then I will setH7760 my faceH6440 against that manH376, and against his familyH4940, and will cut him offH3772, and all that go a whoringH2181 afterH310 him, to commit whoredomH2181 with MolechH4432, from amongH7130 their peopleH5971.
And when ye spread forthH6566 your handsH3709, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. {make…: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
Thou shalt not doH6213 so unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: for every abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068, which he hatethH8130, have they doneH6213 unto their godsH430; for even their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 they have burntH8313 in the fireH784 to their godsH430. {to the: Heb. of the}
If ye oppressH6231 not the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neither walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to your hurtH7451:
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Will ye stealH1589, murderH7523, and commit adulteryH5003, and swearH7650 falselyH8267, and burn incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and walkH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 whom ye knowH3045 not;
And he made his sonH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784, and observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and dealtH6213 with familiar spiritsH178 and wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
By swearingH422, and lyingH3584, and killingH7523, and stealingH1589, and committing adulteryH5003, they break outH6555, and bloodH1818 touchethH5060 bloodH1818. {blood: Heb. bloods}
And they have builtH1129 the high placesH1116 of TophetH8612, which is in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, to burnH8313 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 in the fireH784; which I commandedH6680 them not, neither cameH5927 it into my heartH3820. {came…: Heb. came it upon my heart}
They build upH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodH1818, and JerusalemH3389 with iniquityH5766. {blood: Heb. bloods}
And they builtH1129 the high placesH1116 of BaalH1168, which are in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, to cause their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fire unto MolechH4432; which I commandedH6680 them not, neither cameH5927 it into my mindH3820, that they should doH6213 this abominationH8441, to cause JudahH3063 to sinH2398.
